You can't blame him. He's a politician. He has to steal, it's coded in his DNA.

Wow, that was really awkward...

As bad as it looks, I'm gonna give the guy the benefit of the doubt and suggest maybe he was just practicing his magic act... :haha:

This is part of the 'perks' in being a politician. Free pens! He was just tucking his away during the interview instead of waiting until it was completed. :03:

Maybe he needed a pen to write a Czech or something?

AFAIK he did nothing wrong, many etiquette experts here stated that it IS possible to take it, despite the way he did that is just... Hilarious.

Not to mention that Klaus is perhaps the only politician in Czech Republic who deserve respect, this country owes him a lot...

If he'd been a Brit politician it would have come in useful to sign his Giro.

He correctly criticises many design flaws in the EU and the Euro. For that alone he can take as many pens as he wants, afaic.:DL
