Lazy southern europeans living off debt ! Hard working germans won't bail them out ! let them fail ! Oh wait, did you say Commerzbank ? :D

Sarkozy was quoted saying a few days ago: "Merkel is leading Europe into a catastrophe". But now I'm wondering: is Merkel only inept as a leader, caring only about her own political career and not about its own country, or does she suffer some kind of mental disorder ?
