Swiss Politician Hans Rudolf Merz Has Laugh Attack

Apparently the legal jargon about some sort of meat import law was so complicated, that even he, the minister of finance could not understand it

I'm still trying to find a translation though..

This was really funny. At least he wasn't asleep or watching porn on his laptop.

At 0:03 sounds like he says "sex"

Here a translation, so far I managed it... perhaps someone can do it better

" in dependence on the notation six A to the chapter two of the (K1?) the custom officials have additionally published " *giggle*
" the so-called >Swiss Explanation

When I viewed this clip I knew there was something special about it, but I couldn't put my finger on exactly what it was. It struck a certain chord with me.

After watching a second time I realized what it was.

I've become totally acclimated to mannequin politicians spouting arrogance, hate, anger, ego, and rhetoric. This is the first time I've ever seen genuine, positive emotion from a politician, ever.

Thanks for sharing.

Well that's because it's Switzerland. At least their government works for them and their politicians aren't so egocentric that it could make you throw up, unlike here in the states.

Although I'm not familiar with the political scene in Switzerland, I can absolutely agree that our pols here in the states make me wanna hurl most of the time.

Can anyone show a clip of any American politician showing any kind of positive emotion? I'm talking about genuine emotion that isn't scripted; that isn't just a false charade for the cameras. Something that would make us smile.

Laugh attacks certainly aren't the answer to the deep political divide we have in our country. However, It would be refreshing to see that our representatives are capable of possessing authentic human emotions from time to time.
