News From Taiwan
The latest of a string of blows to Taiwan's Democratic Party is by far the hardest. Chen Shuibian, the ex-president, has admitted to embezzling money, and he has been subsequently kicked out of his party. Everyone in Taiwan and China is going crazy right now. Everyone in China thinks it's hilarious. Ma Yingjeou recently took office as President so now the KMT control both the Congress and the Presidency. Not surprisingly enough, this news is not making headlines in Western news broadcasts.

yeah... my mom called and told me to throw away the campaign bag, shirt, hat, scarf, doll... i think that's it. how sad.
just wait, maybe someone's getting ready to confess setting up the shooting right before the 2004 election. ha.
i can't believe him and his family were really that corrupt. even if he wasn't a great president, he was the first non-KMT president. no politician in the US is even that brazen. it's also funny because all the mainland people didn't like him anyway, but everyone is still shocked that he's even stupider than they thought.
the nytimes gave a tiny little mention, but that's the most i've seen of the major us newspapers

of course, because Western news media is unbiased and uncensored
