Just in case you're interested in Trittin's career: You can find his official biography here:

If you wonder why it starts at the age of 28, well that's because before that Trittin had been a member of a communist splinter group:

That, of course, was edited out. Man, it is so time for regime change here in Germany. I hope the polls are right and that Angela Merkel will become chancellor on September 18th.
Trittin is an interesting character. Anytime you put him into a interview situation...he looks like a fool. He is unable to understand any economic situation or describe the function of a profitable business. He never drove a car or vehicle...through all these years...and today is escorted in a government car to work each day. If you asked most Greens who the dimest member is of the top 20...he ranks number one each time.
