China heckler at White House prompts Bush apology. Okay, someone managed to get into the press stands and shout at Chinese President Hu Jintao.

I “exhibit a very well-developed sense of right and wrong and believe in economic fairness.” And here I thought I was a big fat commie pinko. Or at least a socialist. Kinda fun: the OKCupid Politics Test. Credit where credit’s due: spotted at Sadly, No!
