Czech Republic: “The Great Czech MD Tussle”

Lemuel of Deleted by Tomorrow writes about and posts a video of an incident that took place during a Czech Dentist Association conference two weeks before the general election: Miroslav Macek, former minister from an opposition party (Civic Democratic), smacked David Rath, health minister from the governing party (Social Democratic), on the head because of a “private affair.” “If these were civilised times they would have had a duel. But then if these were civilised times, there wouldn’t be a raving power-hungry Bolshevik demagogue Health minister and a pathetic clown wouldn’t have to be his main critic and I wouldn’t have to write this post,” writes Lemuel.
