"I'm not an idiot or a liar"

Jersey's Chief Minister told the States today that the Waterfront fiasco has left him wrongly portrayed as either 'an idiot' or 'a liar'.
He's accused of either being duped by the Waterfront Enterprise Board and the developers, or deliberately misleading the House.
Senator Frank Walker says he's never known such a bitter and acrimonious dispute during his 18 years in the States.
There's a vote of censure against the Bailiff. The Council of Ministers face a vote of no confidence. And Senator Walker himself also faces a vote of censure.
It comes to a head on July 1st. Senator Walker has promised a full investigation and says all the reports will be made public before the debate.
We've been asking you for your views on the Waterfront fiasco here at Channel Online. So far, eighty three per cent of you have told us you're 'appalled at the situation'. Here are a few of your comments...
"With the HDG saga, the Waterfront saga, the behaviour of politicians and Bailiff alike, the Island of Jersey seems to have well and truly pressed the self-destruct button with regard to world credibility. "
And another: "Whether Sean Power has a grevance with Harcourt is irrelevant....the Council of Ministers have been negligent and lied to other members of the States and the public that they are supposed to represent." (from CIonline)
Well is he or isn't he?....

Exactly. He is being wrongly portrayed as an idiot or a liar. This should be immediately corrected, and he should be portrayed in the truthfull way, which is an idiot and a liar.

I liked his quote from the JEP "I'm not an idiot (if he were how would he be able to tell?) or a liar (if he were he'd lie about it)"
