Politische Analyse

Matti, mein Schatz und ich gucken Flickr-Bilder, die Matti neulich in Düsseldorf gemacht hat. Unter anderem ist das Düsseldorfer Stadttor zu sehen.

Matti: "What's this building, actually? It looks somewhat scary."
Ich: "It's the 'Stadttor', the 'City Gate'. The government and the prime minister of North Rhine-Westphalia have their offices in there. Wolfgang Clement used to have his office in there before he became minister for economy in Berlin."
Matti: [lacht schallend] "Whoo-hoo!"
Ich: "What's wrong?"
Matti: "Is is me hearing funny or did you really say 'Organized Failure'?"
Ich: "No, I said: 'North Rhine-Westphalia'."
Matti: "I understood 'Organized Failure'. So it WAS me hearing funny."

Treffender ist das gegenwärtige SPD-Debakel meines Wissens nach nie zuvor zusammengefasst worden.
