Oooh, China's mad! This is awesome!!
China's temper tantrum swings into full force as the Dalai Lama is set to receive the Congressional Gold Medal tomorrow! From their Communist Party boss:
"We are furious. If the Dalai Lama can receive such an award, there must be no justice or good people in the world."
Whaaaaa??!??!?? There's more, from the foreign minister:
"China has solemnly demanded the United States cancel the above-mentioned and extremely wrongful arrangement."
China also pulled out of six-party talks on Iran today in a lame-o sign of protest, a foot-stomping, wailing gesture akin to a really crabby toddler.
Honoring the Dalai Lama reminds the world -- before China's precious P.R. Olympics -- of the Beijing regime's egregious, continued human rights violations. That's why China's so scared.
I'm so glad President Bush ignored China and presented the Dalai Lama with this award. Moments like this - honoring the good and truly worthy, while ignoring the protests of the oppressive - make me proud.
