Europeons Political Servant
"The European commission's German vice-president Günter Verheugen was battling to save his reputation today after photos emerged of him relaxing on the beach with his female chief of staff wearing only a baseball cap.
Senior officials inside the commission say Mr Verheugen, one of the key members of the EU's executive body, has become distracted and less visible in recent months, and not wholly focused on his job of leading the drive against red tape.
Government figures in Berlin have come out in support of their most senior representative in Brussels, whom they hope will be a key figure when Germany assumes the EU presidency on January 1. The foreign minister, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, has dubbed Mr Verheugen, a fellow Social Democrat, an "irreplaceable Brussels heavyweight"."
-- Verheugen is a "heavyweight" ? From the looks of it Mr. V. has been sucking on that red tape. Creepy. If Günter's physical appearance is the aftereffect of the master race idea, the Germans seriously needs to implement interracial dating.

the eu-parlamentarians are trying very hard to bring this guy down. he wants to cut the funding of the parlament, wants to make it smaller and attacked the mps for mostly just hanging around in the city but not participating in sessions.
(they only need somebody to write their name on a list while a session is on.)
the mps therefore seriously hate him and since he is a social democrat the right wing tabloids are picking the story up. but i doubt this will have any inpact. most people don't give a shit about verheugen's sex life.
No problem amj. I think Mr. V. is just one of the other cheeks of the political parties across the pond. You know, the controlled "opposition" like the US pretends to have. Tattle tattle sex and prattle and battle - business as usual.
Anon says Gunter wants to cut funding for parliament - maybe the idea came to him while wearing his baseball cap on the beach.
:)
Hard to tell pols apart these days - they all sound alike, where ever they are.
