Only Germany could have a leader whose name translates into Mr Cabbage.

The question is, what was first, the cabbage or Helmut Kohl

hummm.. is that gonna be the intellectual high tide of this forum now? *g* the prob about helmut kohl is not rellay that his head is bear shaped (incidentally, pear, or, german, birne, is a term of abuse for a head that is suspected of having little or no content) , or that his name translates into cabbage, or anyhting... the problem about the man is that due to the reunification of germany, he has actually (and justly so, i guess) established himself as a statesman with the best of them, but now, since the affair about the criminal accounts and sutff has started, he has resorted to the behaviour of a very petty criminal and so have those around him.. he does not even act like a crook with some instinct of honour but just like a pickpocket trying to escape his first arrest... and that's just sad, a very very bad sing for the state germany is in (which is actually still the bad state 16 years of kohl gouvernment have brought it into)
