Dirty Pool

A VCD is said to have been produced in Taiwan showing a KMT politician engaging in adultery.  So far, the political damage is due entirely to hearsay because the disc hasn’t been distributed.  Filing a defamation suit may be tricky, because it hasn’t actually been made public.

Something like this happened in the last year or so, when a VCD involving another politician was "accidentally" included in one or two thousand fliers.  All I can say is, it’s pretty low.

Parties across the board slam Chu VCD as attempt to influence elections

Update (Nov 16/05):  The initial story implied that the VCD contained video footage of the politician "caught in the act".  Instead, it has four actors sitting around a table gossiping about the politician’s reputed indiscretions.  Very uncool.
