fantapolitica
humorous look at Italian politics (bilingual)Wednesday, October 29, 2003
There he goes again. I hope that after this post it will be unanimous that Giuseppe Consolo is a pathological liar incapable of avoiding lies which are totally obvious to his listeners. The issue again is his shameless use of the concept of unanimity in this case the word unanimità
GIUSEPPE CONSOLO
Presidente, quando io posi il problema per Pintus tutti, all'unanimità, ritennero che non sussistesse. Ora, io penso che il caso Pintus costituisca un precedente vincolante, altrimenti si userebbero due pesi e due misure.

Notice he is claiming that his argument was unanimously rejected hence, evidently, by himself. That is he must have changed his mind.
He appears to do this often because on the same 22 October 2003, in the same discussion of the same issue, he refered to the same alleged precedent in a quite different way clearly contradicting himself
GIUSEPPE CONSOLO. Quando si pose il problema Pintus, io dissi le stesse cose che ha sostenuto ora il collega Fanfani ma fui messo in minoranza.

Now I know it is a platitude that politicians are liars but I thought the idea was that they were sly tricky liars not pathetic compulsive liars incapable of refraining from contradicting their lies within a day.
