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

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?”
give me a clue so sweet and true
