China says disgraced leader Bo expelled from party
Remember the high Chinese Communist Party official who was said to have spent millions on a hot actress? Well, his sexual escapades are among the many reasons he just got his ass thrown out of his extremely powerful political position and out of The Party.

BEIJING — China's communist leadership expelled Bo Xilai from the ruling party Friday and sought to bury him with charges ranging from corruption to sexual affairs, aiming to sweep away their most damaging scandal in decades while finally scheduling their long-awaited leadership transition for November.
A statement from the party's Politburo amounted to a surprisingly strong and wide-ranging indictment against Bo, effectively ending the public of life of the flamboyant 63-year-old populist who was one of China's best known politicians and whose ambition was considered a menace to the country's top leaders.
This is what happens when you think you're automatically entitled above everyone else and too big to lose. Mr. Romney take notes. :nod: :thumb:
