Mr. Semsrott, I have to ask you this: do you also have 600,000 euros in bags at home like your colleague Eva Kaili?

Unfortunately not. It annoys me, but as a satirist I'm probably too uninteresting to get such offers.

You lined up as a depressed politician, always with your head under the hood. Has this affair made you even sadder?

My reaction to that is actually absurd. I'm happy because the sad impression I have from the whole shop here is just being confirmed. For me personally, that means: Phew, I'm not crazy, my antennas are working properly.
