The difference between a big country and a little country

Americans know how to have a political scandal. We've got presidents who lie about sex, drugs, and weapons of mass destruction. We've got media watchdogs like you wouldn't believe, and a public just waiting to sink their teeth into the nearest offender. We can do multiple scandals at once. We're flexible.

Austria doesn't so much understand that whole process. The biggest political scandal going right now is that the Finance Minister's homepage was suspiciously financed. A webpage! This has been in the news daily for months, people. Did he get the money from blah and does he have to give it back and will he go to court and yadda yadda yadda. I mean, good tenacity on the scandalmongering here, kids, but seriously, let's think about topic a bit.
