Wedding bells

Former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl (right-leaning), whose first wife is dead, appears to be getting married again at advanced age. For some reason, this is providing the local media with much sneering fodder.

Multimillionaire hairpiece wearer, conman and former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder (left-leaning), a self-confessed thief who appeared on TV (under the influence of drink or drugs or both) on the evening he lost the last German general election to claim that “nobody but me can form a government”, has already had four wives, the latest of which is a pigmy marmoset, and never a sneer is heard.
