At least it was in private and not a public airport restroom.
With enough coaching, anyone can pass a lie detector test. They are useful only when the tested person is unaware of how exactly the questions will be asked. Anyone can “rehearse” a passing answer.
Actually, “Yow” is a funny name for a prostitute.
How could we ever tell whether she’s guilty or telling the truth without a picture?
Like you, I’ve known for almost two decades the hoax that is known as a ‘polygraph test’.
I once demonstrated it to a guy thats well known for promoting this crap as ‘science’. Much to his consternation, because he was in front of a half dozen big name potential clients.
It all comes down to controlling your breathing. Its really that simple.
It's not a "passing answer" that needs "rehearsing." Rather, the key to manipulating the outcome in one's favor is to recognize the so-called "control" questions and to ensure that one produces stronger reactions to them than one does to the relevant questions. This is explained at length in The Lie Behind the Lie Detector.
We really can't assess the accuser's credibility without some meaningful corroborating evidence. Polygraph results are a poor substitute for evidence.
Ah.
The liberal MO appears thus: Unless all Republicans are as perfect as Jesus Christ, we must reject conservatism and embrace liberalism.
Knowing her she would appoint herself since she will be out of a job shortly.
The problem for Vitter is not that his “other Wendy” passed a lie-detector test, it’s that his relationship with that woman came out years before he had to admit that he was a client of the “DC madam”.
Unless you believe that a majority of men are regular clients of prostitutes, that alone lends more credibility to Ellis’s claim than any lie detector test. While she is no doubt being paid for her story now, as far as I know, she had little to gain the first time around, and didn’t push it when Vitter denied all knowledge and it was only her word against his.
I personally never believed Vitter the last time around when he denied everything except his “sin” of using the DC madam’s services. He only admitted to something he could not deny and lied about the rest, and continues to do so.
Now we’re going to face another barrage of salacious press reports as Vitter’s sexual proclivities are delivered blow by blow (no pun intended) into the public record.
Frankly, it’s disgusting, as is the continued defense of his Clintonesque denials around here. I thought the Republican party was better than this. We started the process of getting Larry Craig out of office less than 24 hours after his “sin” was revealed, why is Vitter any different. I thought that political expediency was a Democratic vice, but I guess I thought wrong.
End of subject, end of discussion.....
A real ho never seeks to expose customers so this is due to the rewards and urging of flynt to out republicans.
