A sacrificial pawn...and why Bush REALLY did not phone...
The Foreign Minister was a pawn - she was probably encouraged to say it so Schroeder wouldn't have to.
Then she goes down as the "fall guy".
Schroeder stinks to high heaven - and is the perfect example of the grown up clean shaven 60's hippie, milking the system.
Everyone knows that she was set up - and THAT is why Bush did not phone to congratulate him. He's a 60's sleazebag in a blazer.
