24 March 2008 - Ma Ying-jeou
< yesterday --
tomorrow >
Just as Kim Jong-Il’s favorite meal is filet of Seoul, China
prefers a boneless leader in Taiwan. But I’m not sure they
understand Ma Ying-jeou, a politician so adept that his very
name changes meaning with each change of tone.
clue:
Referring to the well-known Mandarin sentence “Mama ma ma ma ma?”
and related sayings. When pronounced with correct tones, this
variant means “Did Mama insult the horse?”
take oh take this clue away
