    Talking Bush Disappointed To Learn Chinese Foreign Minister Doesn't Know Karate

    WASHINGTON, DC—While he still plans to meet with Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing, President Bush was disappointed to learn that the dignitary does not know karate, White House adviser Karl Rove told reporters Tuesday. "I told George that karate is an ancient martial art of Japan, not China," Rove said. "I told him that in China, many practice kung fu—but I recommended that he stick to the more vital issue of relations with Taiwan and North Korea." In spite of Rove's suggestion, Bush plans to ask Zhaoxing to "do some of that Jackie Chan action."

    lol. reminds me of a guy I was talking to at a party once. he was telling me about how great it was that I knew martial arts as well because he was usually the only "fighting guy" there. He showed me some of his TKD moves which basically consisted of him putting his foot in the air- no actual kick. very flexible though. He asked what I do and I said kung fu.

    "Oh thats japanese right?"
    "err na karate is japanese"
    "heh no way man karate is the chinese one"
    "ever see a kung fu movie?"
    "na they suck. i hate dubbed movies. I think karate is both chinese and japanese"
    "yeah maybe"
    *me leaves*

    Bush is funny like that
    All right now, son, I want you to get a good night's rest. And remember, I could murder you while you sleep.
    Hey son, I bought you a puppy today after work. But then I killed it and ate it! Hahah, I´m just kidding. I would never buy you a puppy.
