Few happy faces after Tung meeting
AP , HONG KONG
Saturday, Apr 17, 2004,Page 4

Seeking to ease rising political tensions, Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa (???) held a rare meeting yesterday with legislative foes but they accused him of stalling and ignoring the people's hopes for full democracy.

Tung called the session "useful" and said he looks forward to "more communication and less dispute" with the pro-democracy lawmakers. But Tung declined to take questions from reporters.

Lawmakers who met with Tung in his office said he had refused to give them any timetable for starting discussions on political reforms. They attacked his decision a day earlier to send a recommendation to Beijing on the matter without reflecting the will of the Hong Kong public.

"The spirit of this meeting was polite but unhappy," said Yeung Sum (??), leader of the opposition Democratic Party who was surrounded in a news conference by grim-faced colleagues.

Oh where Oh where is Jackie 'Whore' Chan?
Oh where Oh where can he be?
I've looked and looked all over the Commi Pimp Land
But I could only find him in Bejing taking a bribe from Hu Jintao

Oh where Oh where is Mikie 'Whore' Chinoy
Oh where Oh where can he be?
I've looked and looked all over the Commi Pimp Land
But I could only find him in Bejing taking a bribe from Hu Jintao wife.


I used to really like Jackie until the facts surfaced. Please use your own 'Fair and Balanced' judgement.
