Instead of irony and wit, there is often only cheap polemics. Some politicians have to be asked the question: is it still possible? Even more embarrassing? more shameful? Yes, and even more stupid?
The Freedom Youth of Carinthia is not stupid in portraying ex-minister of health Wolfgang Mückstein as an insect that was killed with some kind of poisonous chemical club. Black and Green politicians are called plagues. The knowledge that puns on names are taboo should not be expected from the young Blues anyway. SPÖ also relies on cheap polemics The posting of the SPÖ health spokesman in the National Council and head of the Klagenfurt Reds, Philip Kucher, is not much better. He juxtaposes a portrait of Minister Eli Köstinger with a portrait of an old woman and compares their monthly income. Kucher could have used his own income and a photo of himself, 9376 euros are not to be scoffed at either. Or the fee of a provincial governor, such as that of a provincial governor of his own party and state with 18,752 euros. But that would not have fitted into Kucher’s cheap polemic.
