Lies and the lying liars who tell them
Czech politicians have gotten so good at telling the "truth" that
voters have little chance of detecting when they're not. MP
Zdeněk Kořistka of US-DEU claimed that two representatives of
ODS offered him a bribe to bring down the government, and he
then passed a polygraph test to prove his point. ODS is accusing
Stanislav Gross and his co-conspirators of rigging the whole
process. Before ex-politician Miroslav Macek of ODS had all the
"facts," he said it'd be easy for the public to pick out the liars,
because they'd be the ones who refused to take the polygraph.
But later, after ODS's people refused the test, Macek switched
gears and started to notice strange things in the process. Some
aspects of the case are indeed strange, such as "Spynterior"
Minister František Bublan's role. Overall, though, ODS risks
being seen this time as the party who doth protest too much.
