Sometimes we can learn alot about people by their priorities.
At a White House ceremony, Chinese President Hu was heckled by a journalist.
She screamed at President Bush, telling him to stop Hu from persecuting the Falun Gong.
And while President Bush has promoted freedom of speech and democracy even at risk of his presidency...
He didn't do such a great job this time.
Whether it's internet companies, a geek billionaire, or politicians, everyone seems afraid of offending the cuddly Chinese Communists.
The heckler was promptly arrested. President Bush apologized to Hu for the journalist's audacity to speak the truth.
Shouldn't HU have been the one apologizing?
