Protesters clashed with police and stormed state television headquarters early today, responding with violence to a leaked recording that caught Hungary's prime minister admitting that the government "lied morning, evening and night" to win April elections.

''We lied in the morning, we lied in the evening about issues such as tax hikes". Ferenc Gyurcsany was caught saying this on tape admitting to having lied to help secure victory.

The Prime Minister was making these comments to his own party members saying, that "no European country has done such stupid things. He also adds that it is obvious what we told the electorate is not true" a frank admission by the leader of a country.

1. I predict a foreign retirement for Gyurcsany

You'd think he'd be seen as a hero for stripping off the carefully constructed mask and showing the corruption at the heart of the power elite, but he'll be lucky to get out with his hide intact.

If he's stashed the loot in Switzerland, his future will be opulent.

His own party will eject him, of course, and put on a show of cleaning up one man's corruption.

2. Kinda sounds like a Bush admission

3. Must be kind of nice, in a way ... better than going quietly. nt
