Yesterday Democracy gave Frau Merkel a poke in the eye with a narrow loss in the regional election in Lower Saxony. Her boy in the region, David McAllister, was turfed out by one seat.
Now I know if you don't follow German politics closely (which I don't) the above makes no sense. Right away you are dumfounded.
"McAllister" you ask? This is a German election? Yup, it's a German election, and believe it or not, McAllister used to be touted as a possible successor to the Merkel throne. Or bidet.
How bizarre would that have been? You'd be reading news stories about David McAllister meeting with other world leaders, and you'd never even know it was the leader of Germany they're talking about.
Maybe this loss is what she was anticipating when Merkel said multiculturalism has been a failure!
And if you think David McAllister is a stain on the master race, check out Philipp Roesler. The entire Prussian aristocracy must be spinning in their graves whenever his face shows up on the TV news in that really warm place where they are watching it.
Merkel may think multi-culti is dead, but Democracy remains undecided.
Having finished her work among the heathens Democracy then took a quick trip to the Holy Land intending to guide Moses Netanyahu to his third term today.
Alas, things did not go as planned. Every now and then the masses rise up and give Democracy a black eye. Netanyahu is now rumored to be casting about among the so-called centrists for coalition partners.
There is no wilier political animal on this planet than Netanyahu when he's trying to form a coalition. Anything could happen. He could reinvent himself in a thousand different ways.
Those four Hadash seats might come in handy. Multi-culti may not be dead after all.
