"What a jerk," said the super woman on the sofa next to me when she saw Christian Lindner on a talk show. Of course, I protect her anonymity, but you can reveal that the FDP leader had not said anything yet. Was not necessary. It burst out of her "naturally" and thus needed no further justification.
