Ma Ying-jeou, the Phony Pony President of Taiwan, Caves Again!

Did I call it, or did I call it? Scroll back down on the listings to February 3rd when I predicted that the Ma government would waffle on the US beef issue. Even now, before the perfunctory excuses and "proper examination" of the appropriate health departments have even started, US beef is already coming into the country. One wonders how anyone can believe anything that comes out of the Ma government.

Just like ECFA was slipped past without any proper examination by the Legislative Yuan, so now the whole beef issue has proven to be a lot of government fakery and smoke and mirrors.

US beef is already coming into the country, even before the proper aforetold examinations would begin. Look back, on January 31, I raised the question of whether the Ma government would waffle in its normal way, and on February 3rd I made the prediction that they would. So here it is March 2nd, and not just waffling but a cave in has begun. Ironically at the same time the health department is just beginning its task of debating this. Is there anyone who still does not know how Ma the phony pony got his name??

Newsflash

Taipei Mayor Hau Lung-bin (郝龍斌) made an international appearance yesterday as a US TV program poked fun at him, jokingly describing him as “the worst person in the world” for demanding the city’s public schools stop subscribing to the Chinese-­language Apple Daily because of the newspaper’s News-In-Motion program.

MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann show is an hour-long weeknight news and political commentary program with Olbermann, who counts down the day’s top stories with humor and sarcasm and pokes fun at individuals in the stories. Usually the latter do not make rebuttals because Olbermann’s show is known for making comments in a subjective and sarcastic style.
