+++ BREAKING NEWS +++
This just in: several 911 emergency alarms (make that 112 for our German readers) from the SPIEGEL building in Hamburg...
A dramatic shift indeed...stay tuned for further updates...
(Hat tip Niko)
BTW: Here's more on SPIEGEL ONLINE's Bush Messer...
I wonder how this one will be spun by DSO.

I just noticed that their Bush-meter (the thermomemter graphic) turns red when it gets over 50%, as if indicating danger. How cute.

At levels below 50% Bush is pouting, but as the meter went over 50% it was replaced by a smirk.

That's what happens when they don't pay attention to their online polls.

And Red is perfectly appropriate.

The radical swings of the Bush-meter clearly expose Spiegel's shoddy work....

Der Bush-Messer ist mir eigentlich egal. Für mich ist lediglich der aktuelle Time-Poll interessant, der ganz klar zeigt: Kerry, es sieht ziemlich mies aus für dich!

@anonymus

Mich beschleicht der Verdacht, als sei unser traurig berühmte "Amihasser" wieder unterwegs...

sie können die al-qaida/saddam connection beschwören sooft sie wollen, dadurch wird's nicht wahrer.

Another case of ………..
ROOT CAUSES.
In this case it is the American people who today think Senator Kerry is lacking in leadership to be the Commander In Chief.
If one looks for “root causes”, one can always find them. In this case, however; it might be more difficult for the Europeans to develop an effective plan to address this particular “root cause” than say the plan they have to fight transnational terrorism.

Well, there is certainly much to be critizised about SPON's stupid "Bush-Messer", but aren't republicans red and democrats blue?

"but aren't republicans red and democrats blue?"
That is a recent thing. It was the other way around as late as 1992, I believe. Democrats objected to being associated with the color of Communism, and so the news media decided to reverse the colors.

I will be spending Election Day in France.
My German wife made me promise not to wear (as I threatened) a tee shirt that says "Kiss My Hairy American Butt" if Bush wins.
Posted by: bsc | September 08, 2004 at 09:17 PM
How about a t-shirt with "Embrassez Mon Bout Américain Velu"?

Won't work Don, my wife also speaks French.
Maybe "Baci il mio culo americano!"
