from Andrew GlassIn three weeks is political Ash Wednesday, which the CSU traditionally pompously labels as the "high mass" of Bavarian politics. If you follow this logic, Andreas Scheuer is something like the house pastor in the Passau Dreiländerhalle, where the party meets on February 22 to verbally beat up the political competition.
