News Flash: Riots in Hungary - Politician Tells Truth

The Hungarian capital Budapest was experiences an uneasy calm after a day of rioting and looting following the admission by Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany.

Witness the most eloquent astatement ever made by an elected politician:

""There is not much choice. There is not, because we screwed up. Not a little, a lot. No European country has done something as boneheaded as we have.

"Evidently, we lied throughout the last year-and-a-half, two years... You cannot quote any significant government measure we can be proud of, other than at the end we managed to bring the government back from the brink. Nothing."

In a speech sprinkled with obscenities, Mr Gyurcsany says: "We lied in the morning, we lied in the evening."
