The former Czech Prime Minister’s response to a published photo that showed him naked with naked women at the Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s villa:

“It is me in the photo,” said Mr Topolanek, who resigned in March after he lost a confidence vote. He said that the photographs had been doctored and accused “European socialists” of orchestrating a smear campaign. “I did not know that the [European] elections were so important for the European socialists that they would do such manipulations,” said Mr Topolanek.

I wish American socialists were as ruthless as these European ones.

Charles Mudede—who writes about film, books, music, and his life in Rhodesia, Zimbabwe, the USA, and the UK for The Stranger—was born near a steel plant in Kwe Kwe, Zimbabwe. He has no memory...

  1. Charles, I really hope you make a pile of money someday from your screenwriting.

    The moment you do, you’ll drop the crutches of socialism like a fake cripple in a revival tent.

  3. @2: Agreed.

    Beyond that, what part of the photo is supposed to be “doctored” outside of him being a bit of a chubster?

    Socialists. Always making you look husky.

    I also love that that has no material relevance to the scandal at hand. Touche! He sounds like a Republican!

  4. and I should care why?

    zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    oh, famous people have naked parties who have less than perfect bodies, and asumptively they fuck

    gee whizzzie

  6. Chuckster, maybe if the USA alt media wasn’t just alt-tabloidy and actually reported on shit like major european elections instead of spending time on salacious photos, then the american people would be a bit more informed and a bit more ruthless and directed, the the american socialists would be a bit more ruthless, too.

    but shit if even the lefty alt media is more focused on nekkid photos, what do you expect?

    oh wait reporting on european elections and what are the issues and how’s their capitalism going and hey do those socialist parties over there even favor gay marriage…that would require like 20 minutes of work….never mind.
    .

  9. Ok here’s the leading parties in the european parliament (before the election ending today) [with comments]:

    European People’s Party-European Democrats EPP-ED 268 [these are the conservatives basically. Wow. They lead!]
    Party of European Socialists PES 200 [this is the socialists a/k/ a social democrats, not the stalinist kind of socialist, duh] [wow they’re in second place]
    Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe ALDE 88 [hmm csome kind of centrist party. most of our “Democrats” in the USA might fit in here.]
    – European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party ELDR
    – European Democratic Party EDP
    European Greens/European Free Alliance EG/EFA 42 [ahh the greens. At least in Europe they’ve figured out how to be a real party.]
    European United Left – Nordic Green Left EUL/NGL 41 [aha another lefty green party. If the left parties could bother to unite, then they would be ahead of the conservatives. Nordic Green + Green + Party of European Socialists > conservatives]
    Independence and Democracy IND/DEM 37
    Union for a Europe of Nations UEN 27 [there are a bucn of “euro-skeptical parties; mirroring our own folks who hate losing sovereignty to world organizations; I don’t get this at all]
    Non-affiliated right-wing (VB/FN/AS/FT/FPÖ/LPR) n.i. 16 [aha, they have pretty few right wing nutjobs, apparently]
    Non-affiliated others n.i. 13

    OK, Charles, which party has the solutions, which one would you ruthlessly support??

    Also: um, which parties are for gay marriage now and full equality?

    Who knows?

    Because we’re just dumb americans even in the alt media world.

    Oh btw I was totally wrong yesterday on the plea bargain issue; seems like people are saying it will allow execution by plea bargain. I shall say 15 Hail Neverbesnarkies to atone….
