Year of the Tiger (Chinese New Year) is 2010! 2011 is the Year of the Rabbit.
Humorous Olympic-related comments made by late-night talk show host, David Letterman:
“President Bush will be in China for the Olympics. … And also, while he’s there, he will be searching for lo mein of mass destruction.”
“I think the US is going to do well, particularly in swimming,” where “Dick Cheney…looks great in the…freestyle waterboarding.”
"President Bush arrived in Beijing earlier today. And before stepping out of the plane, he tested the air with a canary. But they got together, the Chinese, and threw a big state dinner for President Bush in his honor. They served Peking lame duck. And President Bush, he doesn’t know what he’s doing over there. He turned to the president of China, and he said, 'General Tso, I love your chicken.'"
“Now you think I’m exaggerating, but they had a practice today in Beijing for the Olympics and a javelin thrower threw the javelin up into the air and it stuck.”
“The United States Olympic bicycle team got off the plane yesterday wearing air filter masks on their faces. They’re the same masks that kids have to wear when they play with Chinese-made toys.”
“Everybody in Beijing…has Olympic fever. … Or, as it’s also known, bronchial asthma.”
"There's excitement in the air over the China Olympics ... also lead, arsenic, benzene."
“Beijing, Olympics: It's two weeks of competition to see which country has the best pharmacist.”
