  1. His only mistake was failing to realize that microphones are fickle and sometimes pick up what you don’t want them to.

  2. Mr. Várhelyi is proving to be a worthy stunt double for László Trócsányi.

    Our Politicians will be pleased (the hot mike bit – not so much)

    Orban – Hungary who are our FRIENDS?
    Russia & China – we know that, but of Global country’s that are of DEMOCRACY- that ALL be DESTROYED by Victor Orban and his “lot.” – Hungary we NO friends.

  4. Who was that other Fidesz flunky who was just examining the drain pipe below that gay orgy in Vienna? Seems like the same type of excuse to me.
