Hu’s the Man Gettin’ His Pong On
It’s funny. I knew Chinese President Hu Jintao could sing but I never knew he could play ping pong. Guy’s a table tennis machine. Look at the way he holds his paddle Chinese-style (I guess that makes sense) and takes on not one but two opponents. George Bush claimed in an interview Tuesday that he gave up playing golf in order to show solidarity with those soldiers fighting in Iraq. He told Politico’s Mike Allen, “I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf.” I wonder if Hu’s going to rest his racket on the table during China’s earthquake recovery. Or will he stroke that ping pong ball to show his people that China will not be distracted or derailed from taking over the world. With all the horrifying pictures and videos slowly trickling out of China this week, this video brought a smile to my face.
