As part of Bush’s kiss-and-make-up tour of “Old Europe,” he had planned to stage one of his fake town hall meetings with regular German folks asking carefully screened and pre-approved questions of our dear leader. Turns out the Germans wouldn’t go for it.
The Germans, though, insisted that a free forum should be exactly that. Wolfgang Ischinger, Germany’s Ambassador to the United States, explained to the New York Times last week: “We told them, don’t get upset with us if they ask angry questions.”
So with the Germans saying “nein” to propaganda, Bush decided to just scrap the whole thing.
