from time to time, i'll take advantage of xanga to get a bit political. since 2004, i've bashed a ton of people from greenspan to kofi anan. i remember a few kim jong il rants last year, then there was some thaksin dedications, and today, there's former president of taiwan chen shui bian. side-stepping partisan allegiance, i think chen shui bian is a few steps away from political genius. he's one of those savvy politicians that is able to drive the dagger of hate so far into the opposing side only as a by product from riling up the people for his massive support. i call him the taiwanese britney spears because he's this years media's most wanted! britney, through the k-fed years, divorce, 2 kids, jamie lynn pregnancy, weight gain, paris hilton club nights, no underwear fotos, was continually voted the number 1 papparazzi feature, the number 1 coveted gossip item. either inverse to her IQ or a brilliant marketing team, the media not only didn't shake her from the front pages, but only gained momentum and when she won her first MTV moonmen "piece of me" chronicling the downtimes of her gossip frenzy, it stamped her marketing ingenuity.
mr chen shui bian, no matter what the adversity, somehow finds a way to deflect all kinds of accusations into some kind of positive media epic for his supporters. his latest hunger strike (currently 7 days) to protest corruption charges, even had me grinning when i saw the news. i want to watch more of this on going saga! i want to see what his crippled wife will do next. i want to see his daughter unleash fury at reporters again (i have her as a ring tone on my phone). i want to see more chen shui bian in the news! starve bitch starve! (in that non life threatening way of course)
