Hu's On First?

I don't know...is on Third

I’ve watched with some amusement as Hu Hintao, the leader of the biggest threat to the free world China, was trundled around on his visit to the US this week. Being a communist, of course the media and all of the usual suspects domestic leftists all wet their panties and fell over their own feet fawning over his presence.

I’m surprised that they didn’t haul him to out to Hollywood and down to Disney World in an effort to complete his total experience of American culture, but then I realized that they also didn’t drag his scrawny little Chinese ass down here to Georgia to eat some ham hocks, collard greens, and grits…so a total western infidel experience obviously wasn’t the goal here.

Instead of Disney, they took him over to New Haven, Connecticut to Yale University—home of the Taliban Ivy Leaguer.

As a grand finale, some silly assed bitch Chinese expatriate managed to provide an embarrassing moment during a joint public appearance with President Bush and of course all of the lamestream media including the NY Times wasted no time blaming the Whitehouse for the gaffe.

Funny thing—the woman got into the event using PRESS CREDENTIALS, so why doesn’t the media take a look at their own ranks and put a little blame on themselves rather than chastising the current administration for the situation?

Well, George W. didn't throw up on President Hu in a manner reminiscent of what his father, Bush 41, did to the Japanese Prime Minister back in 1992. And at least he wasn't caught handing out any cigars of dubious orgin like our old friend Slick Willy Clinton was doing for eight years.

Strangely, according to the press it seems that the success of the entire trip hinged on dinner plans:

The White House decided early on not to call Mr. Hu's trip a state visit, and denied him perquisites like a state dinner. Some China specialists in the United States argued all along that squabbling over such details made no sense because it made the Chinese much less inclined to offer concessions on bigger issues.

"If we had given him a state dinner, could we have avoided some of this and gotten more from the Chinese?" said Stephen A. Orlins, president of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations. "I disagree with the government's decision not to offer the Chinese the protocol they were seeking."

Even so, White House officials, members of Congress and independent analysts said the issue could easily be exaggerated. The visit allowed government officials, legislators and business executives to interact with the Chinese leader face to face for the first time, and the discussions were generally positive, if inconclusive.

International, diplomacy, all hanging on the availability of a Steak dinner.

Imagine that...

Who knew?

I hate that this has happened, and being a good, patriotic American, I wish that they’d just called me down here on the Georgia coast and asked me to help out in this area. I would have been happy to have helped solve their dilemma.

I would have been happy to have President Hu and his entourage meet me at our local Crakerbarrel Restaurant or Ryan’s Steak house.

My treat.

President Hu and his body guards could have had the all you can eat salad bar or the four vegetable plate or something to whet their little slant eyed appetites.

Or perhaps the Chinese president would have preferred to have done a little fishing and crabbing with me and a couple of the local boys out in the Glynn county marshes, then brought our catch back here to the condo where I could show him how to make home made tarter and cocktail sauces.

Hey Hu, please pass the catsup...

Or in the words of Mick jagger...Hey Hu, get off of my cloud...

(I'm such an insensitive pig, aren't I?)
