Remember the youtube nut who claimed to have gay sex with Obama?

He failed his lie detector test.

Dr. Ed Gelb, Former President of the American Polygraph Association was the Polygraph expert selected by Whitehouse.com. He has done over 30,000 polygraph examinations over his long career. There were two polygraph tests administered by Dr. Gelb on Friday. the first polygraph asked Mr. Sinclair on his sex claims. The second polygraph test asked Mr. Sinclair on the drug use claims. There was deception indicated in both tests.

While I doubt anyone at all is surprised, I just wanted to raise a different finger to Pannonius

This is funny, but polygraph tests are horrible at detecting lies. However, they are good at detecting stress, nervousness, etc.

What sort of polygraph? Classic polygraphs are indeed horrible, as Sims says, and mainly detect with a person is a bad liar. Modern ones including face-scan technology have an over 90% accuracy rate, but I doubt that they're in general usage.
This is somewhat dubious.

What sort of polygraph?

One that he volunteered to take. He accepted $10,000 up front and another $10,000 if he passed. Looks like he found an easy way to make $10,000 - pretend a Presidential candidate has the same hobbies as an evangelical leader.

Surprise, surprise.

I suppose not. I figure they've gone defunct since I last saw it around 1997. Funny story I wanted to see the White House's official website and didn't realize www.whitehouse.com was a porn site.
