3/19    The assassination stunt Taiwan's president Chen pulled is kind
        of like the President of the United States using his presidential
        powers to stage an assassination attempt by Al Queda in a last
        minute bid to win the election.
        \_ Tinfoil hat time.  What evidence is there that he had himself and
           his VP shot?  It's ridiculous.
           \_ what about this claim that years ago he falseley accused
              political rivals of poisoning him on TV right before another
              election?  Is there any basis in fact there?  I'm not trying to
              troll here, I'm just new to following Taiwan politics.
           \_ it's totally like something he would do.  he does anything
              and everything to win elections.
