Um...Sorry Mr. Sherman but a certain FREEPER whom I am much too (BLUSH!) humble to name came up with that idea nearly TWO YEARS AG0 as part of an "Al Gore At The Movies" (soon to be returning) review of CROUCHING TIGER, SLEEPING DRAGON. Below is the relevant excerpt.
Not only that but this BRILLIANT Freeper (whom I am much to humble to name) also wrote a parody about HU specifically on another thread (which I shall find and post here) within MINUTES of reading about Hu's promotion.
Anyway it's nice to know that Mr. Sherman reads the FR and here is the ORIGINAL parody from early 2001:
I just wish Chinese folks picked easier names to remember like Bruce Lee or Johnny Chung. Speaking of the latter, I once had a conversation with Johnny Chung that perfectly illustrated the confusion caused by Chinese names. The conversation took place when Johnny slid a few of his tokens through the White House slot and talked to me about campaign financing during an ice tea break:
JOHNNY: Al, when you visit China, Hoo is the guy to see about the ten million dollar contribution, Hee is the bagman, and Wat is the money launderer.
AL: So who is the guy I see about getting the campaign contribution?
JOHNNY: Yes.
AL: WHO IS THE GUY?
JOHNNY: Absolutely. You see Hoo.
AL: That's what I'm asking you! The guy I see in China for the money, what is his name?
JOHNNY: No. Wat launders the money. Hoo is the guy you see in China.
AL: I think I might understand. Who makes the money payment. He is the one I see.
JOHNNY: No. Hee is the bagman. Hoo is the guy you see.
AL: What?
JOHNNY:
.Launders the money.
You're the equivalent of the Red Ball Express - delivering needed supplies to the front lines. An army needs a good logistics unit too, PJ.
LOL! I still remember when you were roasting darling Beverly Lumpkin to a delicate turn over on her own network website. Did they ever let you back in, or do the ABC commissars still carry the hate? ;-)
