Merkel Media

To continue to prove the point I made in a blog entry of December 2, 2010, Anna Merkel's picture is a mainstay of reporting the news from Germany. Ms. Merkel is of course the current Chancellor of Germany, but one whose hold on the job appears to be weakening.

As if to prove it is weakening, the newspapers are drawing metaphors that her government is limping as much as she is after her elective (get it?) knee surgery.

It hasn't been counted how many times her picture has appeared in the WSJ between the prior blog entry and this one, but it has been almost daily--on and off crutches.

Stay tuned. If the government recovers, she'll be seen on a rehab's treadmill.
