Chamber of Commerce slams Nobel prize, defends China (parody)
Sugar Land, TX — Chamber CEO Tom Donohue expressed solidarity with China's government Sunday over the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to a jailed Chinese dissident. He suggested the prize should not have gone to Liu Xiaobo, who has drawn praise from Western governments as an advocate of gradual political change without any violent confrontation with Chinese leaders.

Speaking in his weekly radio and television program, Donohue scoffed at his Democratic political opponents who praised the giving of the peace prize to Liu.

Donohue said the Democrats' support for the prize showed that "they are lackeys" of the West. "They are worse than the Yankees."

"Our greetings and solidarity go to the government of the People's Republic of China," Donohue said, adding: "Viva China! And its sovereignty, its independence and its greatness."


a parody, of course:

2. "Of course"? I might have believed it if you hadn't said it was a parody.
