Unmitigated gall

I can hardly believe the unmitigated gall--nerve, whatever--that this President shows to the country, other national leaders and nations--the world, really.

Did you see this? Apparently, W is going to talk to Hu Jintao, the leader of China, about his country's human rights violations.

Are you kidding me?

Sure, China is horrible on human rights, in spite of what they want us to think and believe. And I'm not saying we're as bad as they are, even though W's government got us into waterboarding and other tortures, rendition and various other obscenities. But for this guy--W--of all people, who has virtually trashed our Constitution in so many and varied ways, to be telling other leaders of the world how and what to do to run their country's and treat their people right, it's just beyond the pale. It's just too much.

And yet that's supposedly, apparently going to do today.

What nerve. If I were another leader, I'd just put his own country's newspapers and magazines in his lap, tell him to read them, and either change the subject to a lighter one, or walk out.

It's what he'd deserve.
