An even earlier irony, and a far deeper one, was that the corporate wing of the GOP actually became, during the Bush administration, the most uncompromising defenders of the Chinese regime in all of American politics. I've always remembered watching #41 making a brief statement after the Tienenman Square massacre in which he looked far more miffed at the press for expecting him to denouncing the slaughter of innocent human beings than at the actual slaughter itself(about which he appeared to be slightly less annoyed than he would have been if he'd gone to his country club and been told his tee-off time would be slightly delayed because a foursome of Irish Catholics were out there ahead of him.)
