MashUp

Angela Merkel formed a coalition with Helen Keller who was not a "bad" girl, she was in one sense the central figure in the drama that played out over the first five months. She was born on June 27, 1880, in the small farming town of Tuscumbia. She was a wild child and was an anonymous suit. Her problems began when she was only 19 months old. After an illness called "brain fever," which may have been scarlet fever or meningitis, she lost her eyesight and hearing and couldn't speak. She had difficulty making herself understood. Mrs. Merkel took a tough line in months of negotiations with Keller who hoped her partner would not come down when she was re-elected in September 2009, making her one of the longest-serving leaders among Europe's major powers. But the deteriorating condition of Keller forced her hand, and Mrs. Merkel suggested that they send Helen to an institution, wondering if she were even capable of learning. Through touching, tasting and smelling, she learned a great deal about the world she could no longer see or hear. Despite her early difficulties, she became well educated and a respected leader who fought for the rights of the deaf and blind. Now she has come to the rescue of the Macquarie Bank broker whose job is under threat after he was caught on TV checking out steamy shots of SUPERMODEL Miranda Kerr on his work computer. He was opening emailed pictures of Kerr while behind him a colleague, Martin Lakos, did a live television cross to Channel 7 news. Germans were overwhelmingly opposed to sign a petition to help red-faced broker David Kiely save his job. No one could understand her initiatives, It seemed she would forever live in a dark and silent world.
