Newly elected European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and (very) outgoing President Jean-Claude Juncker.
I like this emerging tradition that the EU Commissioner must have a name that would make a good villain in a Die Hard movie. The new EU Supremo’s name Ursula von der Leyen isn’t quite as good as the last one, the all-time classic Jean-Claude Juncker, but the custom is carried on. https://t.co/TuNLWekZdV

But Jean-Claude Juncker had the best “Die Hard” Euro-villain name because he’s sounds like a cross between a supercilious French skier and Helmuth von Moltke the Elder’s sternest uncle.
That he was a handsy Joe Biden on a bender only made it all better. https://t.co/EbmilU43p2
