Merkel campaigns in Stuttgart, jeers erupt


For your Saturday amusement, a 14-minute video of the Iron Chancellor’s speech in Stuttgart for Christian Democratic mayoral candidate Sebastian Turner, currently polling behind Green opponent Fritz Kuhn.

The catcalls that persist throughout ther 14-minute speech came because of Angela Merkel’s backing for an underground rail station that would entail the hugely unpopular demolition of much of the exiting station, built in 1928.

We love this line from a Google translation of an article in the Stuttgart-Zeitung because it reads like, well, haiku:

In the pouring rain, the Chancellor of boos is received.

Jeez, and she thought her reception in Greece was hostile.
