“To me it speaks of the importance of our relations with China,” Bush said. Both his father, former president George H.W. Bush, and former U.S. secretary of state Henry Kissinger were in attendance for the ceremony on Friday morning in China.

Our equivalent to the Gang of Four?

*cough* *sputter* Henry Kissinger? %^&*(*(
Kissinger’s should be in the Gang of Four terrritory, that is jail.

A pun? You know that exploit as a noun means adventures, successes, etc., like Lewis and Clark’s exploits in the Rocky Mountains, for example.
