Well, he's obviously brighter than Jung was (not saying much, I know...)

You're right - he's very media-savvy and will probably come through this in pretty good shape.

Re: Europe (none / 0)

Yes, he's media-savvy. But that is only half of the story. Guttenberg has been a media creation up to now, and the entire point of this exercise (some of the leading media suddenly doing a 180) is to find out if there is any depth there in terms of political savvy and support.

It's a rite of passage. The SPIEGEL cover distinctly leaves that impression on me.
