Isn't it always the way - Jorg Haider the far right, conservative, tee-total family man...

[cestlavie]

... was killed in a car crash whilst:

• driving at twice the speed limit
• whilst being four times over the legal alcohol limit
• on his way to a party from a late night gay bar
• where he had arranged to meet a male escort
• after having had a row with his gay lover

And this was the guy who (apart from having praised the Nazi's) had campaigned on family values and repeatedly condemned alcohol and homosexuality. Surprised? Not really.

Yes, and I've just read in the Times the person who is tipped to take over from him is his boyfriend....erm how is that going to work? Hasn't he rather blown his cover on the anti-homosexual front.

Yes, I read that. So many skeletons in the closet.

As an aside, in that picture Pezner (?) does NOT look 27. Is he really that young? He looks about 40.

LOL Cies that was my first thought. The ole gimmer in the picture is actually Jorg Haider, I had to read it twice to decipher that.

Do as I say, not as I do, clearly.

Not uncommon among politicians, imo.

I know it's tasteless to make jokes about someone's death - but I did snigger when I read about this. What an arse of a man.
