| Schroeder slapped at campaign stop |
| 2004-05-18 |
| A man slapped Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder in the face during a campaign rally Tuesday, causing no apparent injury, police said. The man lunged at Schroeder while he was giving autographs to a crowd of people at a Mannheim civic center during a campaign stop for his Social Democratic Party ahead of European Parliament elections next month. Security agents subdued the man, and police took him into custody, Mannheim police spokesman Volker Dressler said. Police did not immediately identify him. Schroeder suffered "no visible injuries," Dressler said. Shortly afterward, the chancellor held a campaign speech as planned. Anyone remember Zsa-Zsa Gabor and the Beverly Hills Policeman? |

| #1 Germans bitch slapping each other and peeing sitting down, all in the same day. Coincidence? I think not. What next, crying at Barbra Streisand moves? Time to slip a little testosterone into their beer and ship them some NFL. |
