WaPo Decries "Indignities" of China's Hu

Dana Milbank's article in the Post today about China President Hu's visit discusses the ill treatment of the Chi-comm leader.

The protocol-obsessed Chinese leader suffered a day full of indignities -- some intentional, others just careless. The visit began with a slight when the official announcer said the band would play the "national anthem of the Republic of China" -- the official name of Taiwan. It continued when Vice President Cheney donned sunglasses for the ceremony, and again when Hu, attempting to leave the stage via the wrong staircase, was yanked back by his jacket. Hu looked down at his sleeve to see the president of the United States tugging at it as if redirecting an errant child.

Spare us your alligator tears, Dana. Would you act the same way if Bush were heckled? Of course not - in fact, you would encourage it. One would think you would be more concerned with China's human rights abuses or lack of freedoms than you would about a reporter heckling a communist leader. But then again, we know where your sympathies lie.
