How fun! There’s more than just the Smoglympiad going on:
The Olympic Games’ ability to attract controversy is enjoying a new twist after China’s equivalent of Des Lynam was humiliated at a television ceremony by his wife storming onstage and accusing him of conducting an affair…As Zhang dithered, clearly uncertain as to whether to intervene or not, she began a simple appeal to the country’s sense of honour. “Today is a special day for The Olympics Channel, and it’s a special day for Zhang Bin, and it’s a special day for me too,” she said. In a particularly brave move, she quoted a French politician critical of the Games who said that if China’s “values” didn’t improve, they would have been for nothing. “That French foreign diplomat also said: until China is able to start exporting its values, it won’t be able to become a great power,” she said. “Yet Zhang Bin can’t even face up to his own hurt wife. I think China, to succeed as a great power… Don’t any of you have any conscience?! Let go of me! We’re very far from being a great country.”
I am reminded of my favorite guy and hope that this lady’s cheatastic husband is sufficiently important that she does not get a disappearing for her efforts.
