Win Elections By Getting Shot
Boy, just when I start thinking that American politics is particularly dirty, I read a story where the President of Taiwan is being accused of faking his assasination attempt in order to win the election.
The opposition party is saying that a full investigation is required to look into these reports of attempted assassination which they say seem suspicious fishy coming a day before the closest-ever elections in Taiwan. Opposition leader Lien Chan seems convinced that the incident was contrived to bolster the flagging popularity of the president.
