The Bavarian Freiherr seems to have cheated

The current revelations about German defence minister Karl Theodor Freiherr zu Guttenberg is another sad story about those who rule us.

What is far more sad are the functionaries, the lawyers, the theologians who try to justify how to keep the rulers apart from the ruled.

Karl Theodor Freiherr zu Guttenberg tells the story with his title.

And the Freiherr dares visit working class German troops in Afghanistam. Even brings his wife for the photo shoot.
