Irony alert: Bush to lecture China about human rights at Olympics

Need I say more? Can I even say more?
Bush was asked about reports that a laid-off Chinese factory worker faces subversion charges for saying human rights are more important than the Olympics.

“I am not the least bit shy of bringing up the concerns expressed by this factory worker, and I believe that I’ll have an opportunity to do so with the president and, at the same time, enjoy a great sporting event,” Bush said.

Yes, we do have human rights that the Chinese don’t have, but The Decider decides who actually gets to have all of them.
