That's Their Story and They're Sticking To It

Really? This is how the White House is explaining the Lang Lang song that celebrates the defeat of American "jackals" in a Korean War battle?

White House spokesman Tommy Vietor told ABC News that “any suggestion that this was an insult to the United States is just flat wrong.

Huh. Then I guess that it is tragically unfortunate that Chinese nationalists are whooping it up over slipping that one past the protocol people.

I'm not sure whether I prefer our government's people to be too stubborn to admit an obvious mistake or too stupid to realize America was insulted by this incident.

Oh who am I kidding? The White House protocol people probably know all the words and sang along.

UPDATE: Thank you Instapundit for the link. More recent evidence that we don't speak Chinese.
