《贺绍强对6700万湘亲说“谢谢”，副院长亲赴报社见“英雄”》 信源：潇湘晨报

贺绍强的贺梅案件在美国田纳西轰动一时，贺某终于成功的拿回了女儿。但是这个就算是个英雄了吗？你拿回自己的孩子难道不是应该做的吗？其实，应该反省的是当初你为什么要把自己的女儿送给别人养？你明明知道对方是出于好心，你为什么要利用别人的好意？为什么当初不回到祖国，还千方百计想留在美国？现在回到祖国了，你开始感谢人民的养育之恩了，笑话。算是英雄吗？

Let me quote the headline from wsj

McCain, Clinton Win Primary; White House Race Is Wide Open

Clinton won the Democratic primary in New Hampshire, defeating rival Obama in a tight race. McCain took the Republican primary as he sought to climb back into the thick of the 2008 contest. With about 70% of the precincts reporting, Mrs. Clinton lead Mr. Obama 39% to 36%. Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards came in third place with 17%.

Wow, that is eye catching. But why Iowa and New Hampshire is so important?

Let me quote one article from Mark Shields

As of this writing, at least 19 states — including many of the biggest, such as California, Illinois, New York, New Jersey and Texas — have already moved, or are actively considering moving, their presidential primaries forward to Feb. 5, 2008, for the express purpose of stealing some of the thunder from Iowa and New Hampshire’s privileged positions as the first two and most important states in the nomination of the U.S. president.

Remember where you heard it first: For historic, economic, human and emotional reasons, in 2008, Iowa and New Hampshire will be more, rather than less, influential in determining who the Democratic and Republican nominees will be.

CCTV Gets Wrong Kind of PR

Check this above title with the title of this blog. This one has been changed, and the blog title is the original title on wallstreet journal. It is an interesting connection that you have to admit.

Chinese Broadcaster
Shows Vulnerability
After On-Air Incident

By GEOFFREY A. FOWLER
January 4, 2008

HONG KONG — The 2008 Beijing Olympics have become a public-relations vehicle for the Chinese government, corporate sponsors — and now even a betrayed wife.

Since last Friday, hundreds of thousands of Chinese Internet users have watched an online video showing Hu Ziwei, wife of popular sportscaster Zhang Bin, hijacking an Olympics news conference to denounce her husband for infidelity. (Watch the video. Or see a translation of the video dialogue below).

Hu Ziwei, wife of sportscaster Zhang Bin (shown next to her in suit), who denounced her husband for infidelity.

“Just two hours ago I found out that Mr. Zhang Bin is having an illicit relationship with a woman other than me,” said Ms. Hu, after interrupting him on stage during the launch of China Central Television’s Olympics coverage.

“The coming year is the Olympic year, and the whole world will be watching China,” she said, while fighting off attempts to remove her from the stage. Apart from his sportscasting work, Mr. Zhang is deputy director of CCTV’s sports channel, while Ms. Hu herself is also a well-known TV talk-show host.

CCTV declined to comment. The clip, an embarrassment for China’s biggest broadcaster, is also an indication of how China’s high-profile Olympics will be vulnerable to unexpected events and activists who want to draw attention to their own causes.

The incident was edited from CCTV’s own broadcast of the event. It is unclear how the shaky video wound up online. CCTV has said it plans to broadcast the Games themselves live in August, without the tape delay that normally accompanies Chinese broadcasts, raising the prospect that the network could be caught airing live some kind of event or protest it normally would censor.

Hillary Clinton is still a woman and called Mrs.Clinton. There are two issue I want to address.

First, whether Mrs.Clinton can claim that she has better experience of handling white house political issue? It is questionable that as first lady, whether that time’s experience should be put into her resume?

Second, as we can see, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s teary response yesterday to a voter’s question could do more than any ad campaign or posed photo op. The question now: Did it help her cause? Or did she project the weakness that could be fatal for a presidential candidate? So, is this a good way to soften her image by the traditional “girly” way?

As a Chinese descestor, I noticed that no president candidates has very precise claim about China and American relationship in the future.

not easy
