One KMT legislator obviously misses the good old days of political prisons, barbed wire, and vicious guard dogs:
[KMT lawmaker Hung Hsiu-chu (洪秀柱)] has trained her black medium-sized terrier to growl and attack whenever it hears the word, "A-Bian," the nickname of President Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁).
Memo to President Chen: Do NOT accept any dinner invitations from this woman.
‘Course, obsessions like Hung’s can sometimes turn around and bite you in the – well, let’s see how the story ends:
To show off the dog’s unique talent, the trainer repeatedly shouted, "A-bian" to provoke the dog, which eventually became so agitated it attacked a female reporter, biting her on the abdomen.
Abdomen. That’s the word I was looking for. Obsessions can sometimes turn around and bite you in the ABDOMEN.
Poke-ah, poke-ah, poke-ah…
UPDATE (Aug 5/06): Wandering to Tamsui has a translated partial transcript of the incident.
