A fellow intern of mine many years ago at a local German newspaper is now in the spotlight - he's running for the Chancellorship in Germany in 2009! He wasn't the brightest spark back then, but it's funny how often the least-liked person at school becomes the most successful later in life.
I daresay if he makes it, I might even get a spot in the cabinet - I'm aiming for 'Minister of Perks', lobbying for the rights of politicians - free hors d'oeuvres, duck houses, hard liquor and unlimited chauffeur usage - to name a few. I really don't think politicians get enough free stuff, for the sacrifices they make!
Have a further look at Herr Schlämmer here (in Deutsch only!). We were at his movie Premiere after-party on Monday evening, and got to talk to some of the stars there. Typically for such a big name, Hörst was nowhere in sight - no doubt he was on his way home in the regional train in time for Mutti's curfew.
With policies like free cosmetic surgery for all, and unlimited sunbed tanning, he's definitely coming through with effective policies that will get a lot of people's votes in these celebrity-obsessed times. Three cheers for Schlämmer!
