CNA reports:
立法院長王金平涉入司法關說，中國國民黨考紀會今天上午開會後決議，將王金平撤銷黨籍。
Wang booted from KMT. This means he lost his seat in the legislature and his Speaker position, since he is an at-large legislator serving at the party's pleasure.
More later tonight....

A submissive party member Wang suddenly talked about that the treaty with China should be discussed on the legislative floor.
ReplyDeleteChairmen Ma and/or Xi was thinking in sync(or talking to each other):'What the fuck is this Taiwanese slave thinking?' 'Who the fuck he think he is!'
Then Chairmen say he must go! And go in humiliation!
Unfortunately even with Wang out, the KMT is still full of wang.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you may be delighted to learn that the Taiwanese are calling this "陰莖之戰" as a lovely pun.
ReplyDeleteWell, i can't stop smiling. Wang out of power, the KMT eating its young. a small group of Li zhang already resigned in protest. Can't wait to watch this play out.

Michael, do you think there'll really be a backlash? I'm more pessimistic about the final outcome.
ReplyDelete"陰莖之戰" ? both are Chinese pussy.
ReplyDeleteJust too funny; my first thought was "Wang is the new Johnny Sack!"

This is extremely idiotic on Ma's part. He managed to top himself.
ReplyDeleteWang is very powerful on local level and could devastate the KMT if he wants to.
Time to get out the popcorn.
Hihi....
ReplyDeleteI can't help but snigger in a wicked way.
To see Ma showing his dark side is rare for someone who does not like in Taiwan like me.
To see Ma just kicks Wang out of KMT so Wang automatically loses all his post and seat and powers. That's what you think, Ma.
As what is revealed (like Taiwanese do not know before) in this case, Wang has lots of connections with political power house and people with deep pockets. So this is going to be a long battle. Ma is hoping for a quick kill. No way this is going to happen.
And Taiwanese calling this "陰莖之戰" , war of penis. It sounds as vulgar as Taiwanese behave.
Ma, the scion, may destroy the KMT...wonder how Lien and son will act...
ReplyDeleteWow, that is big news. Thanks Michael for the great analysis ~ as u
ReplyDeleteI was wondering why Wang ran for legislator-at-large originally? If he had run for a "normal" legislator seat wouldn't that have saved his position as a legislator in this case?
ReplyDeleteWho persuaded him to run as LaL?
I'm just glad it's not taking place in an English-speaking country - I'm not sure I would be able to endure the constant references to "Wangergate".
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean the Wang family in Taipei is going to get their home back?
ReplyDeleteIf not, then it's not worth a flying fuck.
