More weirdness running for president

Seems a candidate with a bizarre religious connection is a requirement for presidential campaigns these days. According to this International Herald Tribune on-line article, "Taiwan's ruling party presidential candidate has a colorful past. Frank Hsieh was a lawyer who defended dissidents during Taiwan's martial law era in the 1980s. He followed a guru who claimed he could use magic to appear in different places at the same time... One of the biggest controversies in Hsieh's career was his relationship with Sung Chi-li, a Taiwanese guru who claimed he could use supernatural powers to split his body so it appeared in multiple places at one time. Sung once told reporters he took Hsieh on a "cosmos-roaming" tour of Paris, where they stopped at the Eiffel Tower. Hsieh wouldn't directly comment on Sung's claims."
