Europe's Next Television Star

That would be George Papa-whatever, Greece's loquacious Finance Minister. This 49 year old obscure academic and one time minor civil servant has finally found his calling**.

In the space of a few months, George has propelled himself into what is sure to become the hottest item for TV channels and studios worldwide.

George may not be good at doing anything -0- but he sure is great at talking about it!
And talk he does!

Lately he took Britain's BBC by storm in a shattering show.

This comes as a sequel to a host of other performances at CNN, the BBC in December, and lately, the choice of Greek television's morning talk shows.

Just you watch! He may not look like much -- but he sounds like a few million dollars...

...And that's exactly how much -- and more -- he'll have in his pocket when he is over his latest tour!



(He needs some sprucing up, but he is still a killer.)

In his spare time, George moonlights as CFO for a country. Not bad for a kid that barely made it through College!


**To give credit where it is due, the man has worked -- somewhat. This is more than most (all ) of his co-ministers can claim. His star colleague is a woman named Louka Something, whose latest face lift has given her a permanent smile of dyspepsia. Great woman, the sort of person to make holders of Greek passports proud.
