Hu is the new leader of China

A hilarious fake argument between George Bush and Condoleezza Rice. Rice begins explaining that Hu Jintao is the new leader of China, but Bush (obviously) interperets her as saying, "Who is the new leader of China?". *Note it IS fake just in case there's any idiots out there who think it's real.
Rice: Mr. President, Hu is the new leader of China.

Bush: Well that's what i wanna know. Who is the new leader of China? (Hu)

Rice: Yes.
