It just demonstrates the kind of thinking people like Merkel have and the power they expect to wield over the rest of us.
Hopefully all the other comedians will overload the system taking the piss out of her. Do German comics know she's another lookalike for Jimmy Krankie like Sturgeon?
Also, I should point out we have one of the worlds best political comedians close to hand in Matt Forde who could no doubt put together a blistering repartee.
