Oh, PELOSI must be there.

People may have stopped buying rubber sqeaky toys, and that's the end of China's economy.

You seem to be out of touch with global trade issues. Buyers are starting to abandon China for locations with lower cost structures. For example, my latest Happy Meal toy was made in Vietnam; up until now, they've come from China.

Vietnamese Happy Meal toy?

Hmmm.

“This is being reported by the reporter on board the White House press plane...”

They could take video feeds of the plane’s interior and run them all night on TV.

“This is to me a terribly funny incident. It amounts to W’s revenge against the press. Why should he give a Rat’s ass about the press.”

hee-hee

“The White House refused, and so no one on the plane has been allowed to get off. A White House official says the dispute is now being discussed at”higher levels.”

Bush and the Chinese leaders are probably peeking around a corner and laughing.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

“Are tanks surrounding the plane yet?”

Don’t get your hopes up.

LOL

“The Chinese don’t want to let the press in because they are far too Marxist for the Chinese.”

You go Karl!

Last heard the White House press corps, with 40 journalists on board the aircraft was detained for about three hours at Beijing's international airport... Flight crew was told the Chinese were insisting everything be searched, and they thought they were to be directed to a VIP area for the White House press plane...Instead it was apparently routed somewhere else at the airport, to be searched.

Hearing all the luggage and equipment were being searched.

Who’s the genius who decided China would be a good place for the Olympics? And why?

[CharlotteVRWC]

ahahahha - maybe America isn’t so bad after all :)

KFI and 1070 are 2 different radio stations in L. A.

I checked both websites and could find no reference to this story. Not saying it’s not true, just saying I couldn’t find it on either website.

1070 is the local CBS radio station.

The Chinese are a serious, long-term threat to this nation and our freedom. The so-called "Free trade" with them needs a major overhaul until there are real, verifiable changes in the liberties and freedoms allowed their citizens.

Unfortunbately, one of the major failings of every Administration since Reagan (and to some extent there too) was this globalist gobbeldeegook which the ChiComm eat up to their advantage, and which emboldens them and fills their coffers with our money.

Which they then spend like this:

YYYYYYYYYIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[thelastvirgil]

Why is this a problem? It might just give those pussies on the press plane a look at what a real fascist regime is all about. Besides, there has to be a case or two of vienna sausages on board that plane, somewhere.

Let's hope this lasts for the entire Olympics.Not even the BBC will be able to ignore it.
