Who is Hu?

Možda će izgledati kao da smo nabrijani na starog-novog predsjednika Sjedinjenih Američkih Država, slavnog Georgea W. Busha, ali to, dakako nije istina. Izbori u toj, dalekoj, ali bitnoj nam zemlji napokon su završili, a "jedini" Bushov protukandidat, Kerry ne daje nam nimalo zanimljivog materijala. Stoga još jedna novica u Bushu, zapravo o jednom duhovitom dijalogu

Evo ga o čemu je riječ:

Hu's On First

Playwright Jim Sherman wrote this soon after Hu Jintao was named chief of China's Communist Party.

Condi: Kofi?

George: Milk! Will you please make the call?

Condi: And call who?

George: Will you stay out of China!?

Condi: Yes , sir.

George: And stay out of the Middle East! Just get me the guy at the U.N.

Condi: Kofi.

George: All right! With cream and two sugars. Now get on the phone!

(Condi picks up the phone)

Condi: Rice, here.

George: Rice? Good idea. And a couple of egg rolls too. Maybe we should send some to the guy in China. And the Middle East. Can you get Chinese food in the Middle East?
