Time for the mind

How now was verlautbar, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg has probably returned not entirely voluntary in the German media. He was basically clear that this would be a gauntlet, the Baron explained frankly now "off the record". He was right - the ex-minister has reportedly now not even unconditional in its Upper Franconian home backing.

"People remember just that my new image is placed." Even before he had his PR agency pointed out that the new, designed on the drawing board Styling Although would be nice and good. The gel pomade but was simply befitting so Guttenberg, especially since he is his friend from Germany's largest newspaper could feel closer to her. But most disturbing him that he now had to constantly walk around with narrowed eyes or contact lenses.

He would, however, had no choice but to grant the "Lying Baron", as some leaf had overdrawn referred condescendingly after the plagiarism scandal, meekly one. That this is busted with the PhD thesis in the spring, was simply a concatenation stupid coincidences. What suddenly in his contract writer (whose identity he did not want to reveal) had gone, as that again approached him and greedily put additional claims, he wondered to this day. The amount he then - of course only after presentation of the final Elaborats - had paid was, but already "a princely sum" was. As Guttenberg balked ("I let myself not be blackmailed by such a rascal!"), Was the self-under-value-sold-Sentient probably the decisive tip - and the disaster took its course ...

Guttenberg himself had then the following media "farce" (O-Ton) is most surprising, even added, because he until recently assumed that the dissertation was fake honest. It's amazing: The much criticized had thus spoken, at least in this respect the truth. In retrospect, it appears quite disillusioned: "There are just so many bad people. And far too many envious. Just because one is noble and a hard earned [three-digit] million asset features, is far from that, to be everyone's cash cow. "

His "conveyor" overseas in any event were of the affair about his person anything but happy. Until shortly before the disaster seemed like clockwork to run all the way to the "success model Brand Obama": the docile "Young Leader student" was on its way to the next German Chancellor people. After Guttenberg meltdown that should formally raised his forefinger and practices have added to the day that one otherwise only knows from mafia circles: Karl-Theo, you know, we have invested a lot in you. Go ahead and at last! Give us the overdue return! (That KT from exactly attended this reason with the powerful "time" interview just before the Christmas period, must be understood as a casual coincidence, however.)

Zu Guttenberg was in the summer when he moved to the United States aware of in the vicinity of the investment bankers pulled to calm tempers. However, it did not help. The expectations of him are simply too big. The whole education and training stays have to make at some point paid, also urged replacement Papa "Heinz", the most prominent of his well-known transatlantic supporters ...

"I actually like never. I'm tired, just tired ... "whistleblowed the arg battered in a moment of deep sincerity. One almost feels sorry for him. Finally, he reveals a secret: He'd love to bust all the cliques in order to come to terms with themselves. Whether this is, however, seriously?

Anyway. In the second half of 2012 should appear Guttenberg's next book. It carries the bold title "finally failed". The presale has already begun, although the ghostwriter is still being sought. Applications takes the PR office of the politician a. D. opposed to April 1.
