News: Misleading headlines.
The link at the CNN.com homepage said "Bush spars with South Korean president", and I got all excited and clicked on it, but when the page opened, there wasn't any kung fu fighting, just an argument about Iraq. Quelle pisser.
They were also arguing about getting a peace treaty done with North Korea.
A real fight would have been far more entertaining. I think I'd bet on the South Korean to kick Dubya's ass. If such a fight were in the cards, I might even give odds.
I've given up all hope of Dubya coming up with as frank a diplomatic exchange as his father puking on the Japanese Prime Minister during the height of our economic tensions with them.

He might be able to take Bush.
ReplyDeleteCheney on the other hand, would probably wing him :)
eb-misfit,
ReplyDeleteI dunno, the Shrub's got probably six inches of reach on the Korean dude. I don't know how strong his kung fu is, however.
My first thought was lances on horseback, and then American style boxing. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteNot just the reach, Tam. El Shrubo doesn't strike me as being the kind of person who can take a punch.

ReplyDeleteHe played rugby for Yale. If you can't take a punch, you don't last on a rugby pitch for a game, much less a couple of years.

ReplyDeleteI thought he was a cheerleader for the rugby team, not a player.
ReplyDeleteIn America, rugby is probably better fight training than Tae Kwon Do. In Korea, maybe not.
