That's a little short of a ringing endorsement:
"Read Mao!  He's no stupider than Bill Clinton!"

I would urge higher standards for texts which
purport to liberate the world's people.

Can you seriously deny that, under a Maoist
regime, you, me and Louis would be working
shoulder to shoulder in one of Liu's
"reeducation" camps?

Cheers,
