Heckle Hu Part Two

Wenyi Wang, the woman who stood up and shouted down Chinese President Hu Jintao yesterday at the White House has now gotten a taste of the American system's limitations on 'free speech.' She was charged in a Federal court today with 'harassing, intimidating, or threatening a foreign official' according to a report filed by Reuters. This charge carries a potential sentence of six-months in jail.

Had she pulled this stunt in China, she'd be facing a little bit more than six months. She'd more likely be facing a firing squad as the Chinese regime has a nasty habit of executing or jailing dissidents. Well, that and trading in organs harvested from prisoners, arming our enemies and stealing our military secrets.

The incident 'marred the South Lawn event and created a diplomatic stir. Bush personally apologized to Hu.'I wonder if that went something like 'I'm so sorry someone called you out for being an oppressive murderous thug.' I doubt it.
