“In America, a prejudice exists about Europeans, and in Europe about Americans. When political leaders want to score cheap points, they appeal to these prejudices and they can count on a – in certain quarters at least – standing ovation.”

Could you provide an example of American politicians doing this? I don’t remember any – although I wouldn’t be surprised if Tom Delay, for example, had. I guess I’m wondering if anyone did this in a way as strikingly public and central to a campaign as PM Schroeder – oops I mean vice chairman of GAZPROM, YOU F-ING MANIPULATIVE PIECE OF SH-T – did.

Excuse me.
