super power that we have a lot at stake in maintaining this economic
relationship with China.

Jack:Well, I don’t know if China is any different, but our
relationship with China is certainly different. We're in hock to
the Chinese up to our eyeballs because of the war in Iraq, for one
thing. They're holding hundreds of billions of dollars worth of our
paper. We are also running hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of
trade deficits with them, as we continue to import their junk
with the lead paint on them and the poisonous food; and
export, you know, jobs to places where you can pay workers a
dollar a month to turn out the stuff that we're buying from
Walmart. So I think our relationship with China has certainly changed.
I think they’re basically the same bunch of goons and thugs
they’ve been for the last 50 years.

——All right, Jack, stand by. I want everybody to standby, we
have a lot to talk about, including a battle of what’s some….


This is an CNN hoster's words.Don't you think it's despicable?????????????????sometimes you are so rude!!!!
Yes, I think what he said was rude, and crude, but I also think that his statement was misunderstood. He was referring to the government in China, which really has not run things well for the last 50 plus years. I will agree however that he could have been a little more careful with the way that he said it.
