Yesterday all the news wanted to talk about was that, according to Se & Hør (a gossip rag is probably the polite word for it) and its editor Henrik Qvortrup, Naser Khader was supposed to have had a fence done without proper taxes paid by the workers. Except apparently everything was done properly and all the paperwork is in place, if a bit messy. I can't help thinking that it is a rather large coincidence that a man who used to work as a spin doctor for Anders Fogh Rasmussen is apparently trying to blacken the name of the man who has dared to turn Fogh's neat little "lets-just-get-this-election-over-with-so-we-can-get-some-work-done" into something a lot less certain... just saying.

Note to Americans and other foreigners. In Denmark the politicians don't really do sex scandals and if they do people usually don't care, that's their business. Also, if any politicians get up and start talking about God in the middle of things, people would find it more than a little embarrasing, since religious is something you're quite welcome to be, but it's rude to bother other people with it (personally, I suspect that's the problem for Asmaa Abdol-Hamid - the only thing most people know about her is that she's religious. That and her inappropriate comments about soldiers...). On the other hand, if a politician is caught cheating on his taxes or speeding or something like that - now that's a scandal.
