The name Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg came up in the German news today.
Guttenberg, for those unfamiliar with his history....he was set to probably unseat Chancellor Merkel....from within the party when the federal election for 2013 came up.
Well...around the years prior to 2011....he was the German Defense Minister. On debate skills....It's hard to find anyone more skilled than him.
So, a funny thing happens in 2011....someone pulls up his dissertation (University of Bayreuth). He was accused of plagiarism.....university agrees, and yanks his degree. He resigned from the government, and walked away (US job for past decade).
Well....he's gotten hired to present/moderate two documentaries for RTL-plus (streaming commercial service)....later this fall. Topic? Unknown.
Coming back? He's simply presenting himself in a different light. Rumor has it that he finished up a degree via a Brit university in the past five years.
