Why I do not like KTZ Guttenberg With "Light" that's such a thing. They were glorified, they are revered and you will forgive anything - even if they contradict each other within a set 2x (which, for example, Franz Beckenbauer and even exploited like too often).
Zu Guttenberg (the man who has more fans than first names, which is already here apparently a performance) is one of these luminaries. Backed by an unprecedented media campaign (here, all of course the resident in his rectum editor of BILD-Zeitung), he developed very quickly became the leader of the "politicians' popularity polls" - and it seemed, could not even he himself to drive out of there . (Let alone the
Kunduz affair or the incident on the Gorch Fock
).
The reasons are quite simple: it is rhetorically gifted, attractive (especially when compared to the German political competition), and tirelessly promoted 'credibility'. That he is also still married to an attractive woman who contributes effectively to the image dispersion soldiers in Afghanistan harm, not necessarily.
And now everything is different? Why? Because (according
GuttenPlag Wiki ) in his doctoral thesis on 247 of 407 pages are fakes - so he texts of other authors posing as his own, without them (as is usual in scientific work) and Zitate zu kennzeichnen, beziehungsweise deren Quellen anzugeben.
Interessant sind nun die Reaktionen darauf: Nämlich die seiner Fans ("das machen doch alle!" - was mich besonders amüsiert, wenn ich es in den Kommentaren der BILD-Online-Artikel lese), seiner Neider ("Skandal! Rücktritt") und seine eigene:
Zunächst stritt er in seiner wasserdichten Überheblichkeit erst einmal alles ab ("
abstrus !") und stellte die Vorwurfserheber als "ahnungslos" dar (das macht er übrigens grundsätzlich gerne mit seinen Kritikern). Dann räumte er "fraglos Fehler" ein, verbittet sich aber nachdrücklich "Plagiatsvorwürfe" - denn immerhin könne es ja sometimes happen with such a huge amount of work
worked on it in addition to his activities as a politician and an obligation as a young father seven years , setting "a footnote to forget."
Then he organized a ruthlessly embarrassing
press conference (which makes him almost human in my eyes because it was just a huge mistake) and does not now "temporarily" to his doctor title. He tirelessly points out, however, that there is currently so probably more problems than talk about his dissertation.
Yes, I see basically the same way. But what I also see is a man who in my opinion nach überhaupt nicht mit Kritik umgehen kann. Wann immer ich ihn einmal wirklich kritischen Fragen (also nicht denen von ZDF und BILD) ausgesetzt sah, wirkte er auf mich immer wie jemand, der lästige Fliegen vertreiben möchte, die um seine schwitzende Stirn kreisen.
Seine unglaubliche Selbstherrlichkeit (die auf dem Sofa von Thomas Gottschalk oder anderen Quotengaranten besonders zur Geltung kommt), seine Attitüde des einsam kämpfenden, das Schicksal der Glaubwürdigkeit auf seinen Schultern tragenden Leitwolfs, seine ekelerregend künstliche Bescheidenheit - all das zerbröckelte in solchen Momenten immer wie trocknender Lehm auf Soldatenstiefeln.
"Wisst Ihr eigentlich, mit wem Ihr hier redet?" - He exudes, "I have no need to expose myself to impertinent demands of earthly small minds!" And this comes to light in the crumbs be a facade not quite as attractive face.
The main argument of his supporters still not available to him ("that has to do with a faulty thesis to qualify for the position of defense?") Moves way. Of course this has nothing to do with the other. But this is not about his qualifications as a minister, but his credibility, precisely what he has always sold as its greatest virtue. And he has lost.
Whether his opponents politically motivated in time (which is mostly likely, for those who have such success, also has a corresponding number of envious in the political spectrum) or scientific (because even students to be punished, the claw her department from the Internet together - so why then not a politician) is entirely secondary. And the words of warning those who compare him to Icarus ("who is flying high, deep"). I am talking solely about the factual allegations of plagiarism on his dissertation. And the masters he very bad, that is not at all. Would he do that but at least on an authentic, human way, he could at least score on the sympathy level. But here he fails (Once again) still impressive.
And that's why I can not KTZ Guttenberg suffer - and not just since the announcement of the "lack of footnotes."
PS. Grandiose way, is also the
