Hey guys!
did you all know that WESTERWELLE already has come out of the closet??!
Yeah, Westerwelle's gay:
But it's not like he will travel draped in a rainbow-colored flag. First of all, there will most likely be no official mention of the fact that he's gay by any Arab officials. And secondly, it's a question of power and interdependence, plain and simple. Germany's the world's fourth largest econonomy (after the US, China and Japan) and probably half of Saudi Arabia's military equipment has German parts in it. So when Angela Merkel visited Saudia Arabia, protocoll officials simply informed the Arabs that the German chancellor won't be wearing a headscarf - and noone made a fuzz.
Same for Condi Rice. Pelosi on the other hand...

They used to call it the “German disease” in the 1900s. Not that there’s anything wrong with it. lol.

Yeah, Westerwelle's gay: I wouldn't care if Obama installed a bathhouse in the White House, so long as he would cut our taxes!
