Celebrated playwright James Sherman is author of a hilarious Hu´s on First? sketch that he penned  dripping wet  this week after the Communist Party chose Chinese Vice President Hu Jintao as its new general secretary.
A member of the Victory Gardens´ Theater Playwrights Ensemble in Chicago, Mr. Sherman, with due credit to Abbott & Costello, tells Inside the Beltway the idea splashed into his head while showering Monday.
I raced to the computer and knocked it out, reveals Mr. Sherman, who actually arrives in Washington today to discuss his long-running theater production, The God of Isaac. Without further ado, Hu´s on First?
