Googley translation. After the bold headline it turns out to be quite a small footnote, does anyone know more about this?

[Bad Ambassador]

It seems to be a story about nothing. Stephan Mayer is 37, and there was a gap of only two years between passing the bar and becoming a member of the Bundestag. His only professional connection seems to be that he is the chairman of the Christian Democrats Bavaria working group for state law, sport, volunteering, culture and media, among a huge number of other commitees on which he sits. He's a career politician for the German equivlanet of the Conservatives, holding a seat on the equivalent of the Kent-Sussex border. He knows shit.

By the way, I'm a professional German interpreter.

[DuncanC]

Ah well, thought it probably would be.

[Neville Chamberlain]

By the way, I'm a professional German interpreter.

Bloody hell - all respect to you, sir. I'm a professional German translator! Interpreting is way beyond me.

Oh, and your assessment of the story was spot on.
