Bush lectures China.

With Republicans, especially Chimpy, it’s always ‘do as I say, not as I do.’

Case in point, here's a sample of the finger-wagging lecture the Decider is going to deliver at the Olympics (note: my links added for illustrative purposes).

“We speak out for a free press, freedom of assembly, and labor rights not to antagonize China’s leaders but because trusting its people with greater freedom is the only way for China to develop its full potential.”

Is he serious with this crap? Whoever wrote this speech has a brilliant future with "The Onion."

“The United States believes the people of China deserve the fundamental liberty that is the natural right of all human beings…So America stands in firm opposition to China's detention of political dissidents, human rights advocates, and religious activists.”

I may throw up.
