Covering tongue-gate a silly, sick attempt: Editorial flash

Even though the Dalai Lama himself regretted his "suck-my-tongue" offer and apologized "for the hurt his words may have caused" on his Twitter account, some members of the Tibetan "exile parliament" tried to cover it by mixing it with "Tibetan culture", a claim that has already been denied by people who live in Tibet.

Ironically these members even blamed it back on their motherland by calling to "be mindful of the negative campaign" of the Chinese government.

Having escaped their homeland more than six decades ago, the politicians hiding under the cloak of religion have already become an interest group that relies upon portraying a "victim" image of the Dalai Lama to the world for survival. They care neither about the truth that they have so long been accustomed to distorting nor about the basic ethics of all modern societies that little boys are not meant to suck tongues.

For decades, the group in Dharamsala has been portraying the Dalai Lama as "persecuted", but their deed only hurts him for their own selfish interests. But this time their own trick doesn't work any more as everybody sees the inappropriate and even vulgar deed of the Dalai Lama, which makes their attempts of covering it so silly and laughable.
