Bush Disappointed To Learn Chinese Foreign Minister Doesn't Know Karate

[Paragon]

WASHINGTON, DC—While he still plans to meet with Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing, President Bush was disappointed to learn that the dignitary does not know karate, White House adviser Karl Rove told reporters Tuesday.

"I told George that karate is an ancient martial art of Japan, not China," Rove said. "I told him that in China, many practice kung fu—but I recommended that he stick to the more vital issue of relations with Taiwan and North Korea." In spite of Rove's suggestion, Bush plans to ask Zhaoxing to "do some of that Jackie Chan action."

Alert.

Besides, Karate is Okinawan, by way of China. Read "The Bubishi" from Tuttle.

Paint the fence. Sand the floor.

5. sadly, georgie boy is so stupid he just might do something like that...

with regard to the "onion" I am reminded of tom lehrer's comment on retiring from political satire when henry kissinger was awarded the nobel prize-- he stated that satire had just become totally pointless.

7. Obviously he watched too much of that "Kung Fu" TV series...
