if you thought the Times was bad ...

If TT had a bad editorial last week (VftH here), it didn't come close to the nonsense printed in the China Post today:

... Ma Ying-jeou the presidential candidate was an idol, if not a hero, of millions of voters young and old. But President Ma Ying-jeou seems to have been transformed into a new punching bag for almost all the people, fans and opponents alike. It's unfair.

somehow CP gets from this, to a rant about Confucianism and Chen Shui-bian:

... Confucianism, the pillar of the world's oldest continuing civilization... Mao Zedong tried to de-Confucianize China. He failed because he himself was a Confucian like practically everybody else in China and Taiwan is.
... Former President Chen Shui-bian tried in vain to de-Sinicize Taiwan. He failed because he is Chinese.

  1. You can count on the China Post for making you both angry and amused at the same time.
