In most countries this would have been a little side note and forgotten the next day. The US is wasting a lot of time and energy on debating trivial things while the real stuff is going on behind the scenes.

As a German, I can assure you that our media are merely debating a different set of trivial things.

Like Promi Big Brother? I am German but have been living in the US a log time. It's hard to understand how that show can be on front pages.
