Last but not least: When two quarrel, the media rejoice

Politician (Christoph Mörgeli) accuses publicist (Frank A. Meyer) of Nazi rhetoric. One of them shouts, "Honor violation!" "Whiner" bellows the other. The two squabblers are not ready to end their feud. The out-of-court settlement has failed, and now the case is going before the judge.

Politician (Christoph Mörgeli) accuses publicist (Frank A. Meyer) of Nazi rhetoric. One of them shouts, "Honor violation!" "Whiner" bellows the other. The two squabblers are not ready to end their feud. The out-of-court settlement has failed, and now the case is going before the judge.The dispute between Frank A. Meyer, Ringier publicist of the social genre, and Christoph Mörgeli, SVP National Councilor and occasional columnist for Weltwoche, is as exciting as a topless mud fight. What counts is not the end result, but the fight. The more slippery the better.
The cause of the dispute is a column by Mörgeli that appeared in Weltwoche in 2006. The SVP National Councilor compared Meyer's way of taunting money-grubbing globalized managers to the petty-bourgeois hatred of anti-Semitic Germans of the Nazi era for "the eternal Jew, who was driven, rootless and money-grubbing and who was destroying society." Earlier, Mörgeli had been called "propaganda minister of the SVP leader Blocher" by his opponent.
The reasons are incidental, ridiculous, and superfluous, but the verbal bickering is simply delicious. In terms of bitch terror, Christina Aguilera and Kelly Osbourne couldn't have done it any better.
