Hu? eh? Human rights? Cruisin' tights? Midget fights?
Hu doesn’t answer question on human rights; blames technical issues…
The question to Hu Jintao from the AP’s Ben Feller today was: “How do you justify China’s record, and do you think that’s any of the business of the American people?”
Great question.
Hu didn’t “hear” it.. Or at least the claim was that it was somehow lost in translation..
Bloomberg’s Hans Nichols retried: “President Hu, first off, my colleague asked you a question about human rights which you did not answer. I was wondering if we could get an answer to that question.”
And Hu said? Well, he said “First off, I could clarify, because of the technical translation and interpretation problem, I did not hear the question about the human rights. What I know was that he was asking a question directed at President Obama. As you raised this question and I heard the question properly, certainly I’m in a position to answer that question.”
By God you just have to to love Communists…

Oh, to be a fly on the wall tonight in the White House
President Barack Obama and Chinese President Hu Jintao shared a private dinner tonight, according to news organizations reporting on the state visit of the Chinese leader..
Wednesday will feature pomp, circumstance, and lots of PR and photo ops.. But tonight was without the glare of the spotlight, without the prying ears of microphones.. absent grand statements and spectacle.
Instead, the two shared time together in the Old Family Dining Room in the White House..
The White House said there were no official note takers on hand and to this point no official record on what the conversation topics were during the private affair..
