'You are spinning and you are not honest'. With these words, Prime Minister Balkenende sought confrontation with PvdA leader Wouter Bos during the 2006 election campaign. These words were the starting signal for many attempts by the CDA to portray the PvdA leader as a spinner. Were these words a coincidental inspiration from Balkenende, or were they whispered to him by his spin doctors?
