Makh: Only Nixon could go to China.

That's an old Vulcan proverb, isn't it?

I bet this visit will be less successful than his namesake in '72.

His disembodied head will be governor again in 3011.

Who ever is responsible for this is a farking joke, I hope he never gets to represent anyone again.

FTFA:
"Nixon plans to leave Friday for a trade trip to China that he says will seal the deal on billions of dollars of exports over the next three years."

So far, so ambitious, but ....

"Missouri lawmakers have failed to pass a bill authorizing millions of dollars of tax credits that had been intended to transform the St. Louis airport into a hub for Chinese cargo planes."

Whoops! OK, what is his response?

"Nixon said Tuesday that the trade mission to China still can be a success."

He's SO farkED !!!!ONE11!!

"Through August, Missouri exports to China totaled about $773 million, which Nixon said was a 25 percent increase over the same period the previous year."

fark-a-doodle-doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo............

China owes Nixon a lot.
Man, won't he be pissed when they pay his commission in U.S. bonds.

If anyone else had gone to China in 1972 Nixon would have called them communists. Have a hunch this Nixon's trip will turn out just as well as every other deal the US has made with China. Blade Runner got it wrong - It will be the Chinese not the Japanese running things.

Not to bring another opinion based in personal experience on Fark, but the guy is a bit of a douche. I saw him as a speaker of a graduation at Missouri Western. He went on and on about how he created legislation to keep college tuition low all the while cutting funding to colleges. Basically making the colleges come up with new fees for students every year. Lame as hell, but hey, college tuition isn't going up as much as it used to.
