Offensive and Stupid
What better way of showing our solidarity with democratic movements around the world than to countenance this sort of nonsense?
WASHINGTON, D.C. — A woman accused of heckling Chinese President Hu Jintao during a White House appearance was charged Friday with a misdemeanor of willfully intimidating, coercing, threatening and harassing a foreign official.
Wang Wenyi, 47, had press credentials as a reporter for a Falun Gong newspaper and positioned herself Thursday in front of the platform where President Bush and Hu stood.
According to Secret Service translations in court documents, she shouted in Chinese, “Stop oppressing the Falun Gong,” among other remarks.
If convicted, she could receive up to 6 months in jail and a $5,000 fine.
Then again, as the out-party always says, this is a nation of laws.
