Here's a good article on Germany's Red-Green Romeo, Joshka Fischer, but one with no mention of the scandal I describe below. Good enough, though.


I should mention, by the way, that Joshi has battled with his weight over the years (he's currently a bit puffy). When he was a simple member of the Bundestag, back inna day when the capital was Bonn, Birgit met him on a jog along the Rhein. He was an avid jogger at the time.

So, I live with someone who has seen him in jogging shorts.
