Ma uses less power than Chen ...

[Belgian Pie]

The usage of electricity for the Chunghsing Apartment (中興寓所) — the codename for President Ma Ying-jeou’s (馬英九) residence — has decreased by as much as 88 percent, when comparing its electricity bill last year with the usage of electricity in 2007 by then--president Chen Shui-bian’s (陳水扁) residence, a Presidential Office report said yesterday.

Why explicitly mention CSB? Why does Ma always have to point out he's better then CSB? Is it a competition?
The reason for using less power could be because Ma and his wife are less likely to be at home.

Maybe Chen had a marijuana growth room? That needs a lot of power!

Anyways, stop trashing on CSB, he's in jail already ...

I bet CSB is using even less electricity where he is living now...

Don't pander to the morons that write the papers, Belgian. It makes you as bad as them.

Why not mention CSB? If I was in power I'd be slagging shit at all of my opponents as well, because they would do exactly the same thing.

Wasn't CSB's wife in a wheelchair with a lot of health problems? If she had respirators or whatnot I'm sure that would take up a lot of power.
