So you are incorrect.

She told the PARTY that she had lied. She didn't necessarily resolve the matter with the government. The analogy would be like discovering that some Southwestern gubernatorial candidate told the Democrats "hey, I lied about my citizenship status" and the Dems saying "well, we won't tell if you don't", but not proceeding to first get his citizenship resolved with the gov't.

Of course, the issue here is that the situation is now analogous to a rival Dem saying "well, _I_ want to increase my power, so after previously saying 'don't worry', NOW I'm going to rat you out..."

Compound that with the fact that a large part of the Dutch government seems to want to be rid of this woman in order to somehow assuage the islamofascists in their midst.

You'd think that fairly recent European history would show the Dutch MPs that appeasement doesn't work. But who knows; maybe the memories of this generation of Dutch have shortened dramatically for some reason. Maybe it's the hashish...

She didn't simply tell the "party". She told everyone. She set the record straight in both books she wrote and public speeches. There was nothing subtle about it. The people who voted for her knew the facts prior to electing her.
