Former German chancellor Gerhard Schroeder practically sealed the outcome of the 2008 presidential election in the U.S.:
Hillary for Prez Says Ousted German Chancellor
Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, a fierce critic of the Bush administration, said Saturday that he’s pulling for U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to win the White House.
“I’d be very pleased if Hillary Clinton would become the next American president,” Schroeder said to applause from a largely Saudi audience at the Jeddah Economic Forum, which opened here Saturday. “But don’t quote me too loud. I hope I’m not harming her by saying that.”
Schroeder made the statement during a discussion of global women leaders at a gender-segregated theater where a plastic barrier separated women from men.
This could be the kiss of death for Hillary…
Wall Street Online’s OpinionJournal: “So here we have a founding member of the “axis of weasels” endorsing Frau Clinton and drawing cheers from a segregated Saudi audience. It would be hard for Republicans to write a better campaign commercial.”
