Fidesz furor at party big’s icky Playboy tell-all

Way back in 1976, a little-known American politician named Jimmy Carter causes a ruckus when he gave an interview to Playboy magazine in which he admitted to having “lust in his heart” at other women. Fast-forward 32 years, and to Hungary, and we’ve got a similar little scandal, though this time with a pol pretty much confessing to being a hopeless and shameless sex addict.

According to a print-only report in conservative daily Magyar Nemzet picked up by FigyelőNet, former minister of youth and current Fidesz bigshot Tamás Deutsch has caused some major grumbling among party members by talking to the Hungarian edition of Playboy about various sordid details of his private life.

Despite the fact that everyone knows about Deutsch’s “colorful” past, the interview is still considered a shocker because until now few Hungarian pols have talked openly about such matters, especially not members of the supposedly “family-values” oriented Fidesz.

In the interview, Deutsch admitted to having had several affairs during his two marriages, saying he could not resist women. “Maybe it is a fault of mine, maybe in some sense it is also a virtue, but it is true that I haven’t been able to resist women’s beauty and conquering a woman’s heart since I was 16.” Charming.

    A reason why it needs to be many women in the next Fidesz Govt?
    Tamas could of course soon claim disability money from the State if the findings of Karolinska Institutet on a gene being the cause of cheating on your wife.
    Next we will see a demand for gene therapy from a mix of KDNP/MIEP/Jobbik to cure the likes like Tamas “The Furher”.

    What is this dimwit Deutsch doing in FIDESZ in the first place? Time to get rid of him. He’ll fit in the anti-Hungarian, no-values SZDSZ better.

    Just what the world needs, another macho, I am God’s gift to women, Hungarian lothario! And he’s in politics (show-business for ugly people) so he’ll be a minger too. Make sure he’s one of the first against the wall come the revolution.
