but seriously, not matter your party affiliation, this is a good thing. two girls are coming home (one of which is a mother to a 4 year old) without a single bullet fired.
the world loves Bill Clinton and they respect Barack Obama too. Deal with it people.
I love how the conservatroids are all, like, "he's an ex-President, our most sacred asset or some shit," in 2009. In comparison to the last 10 years where they couldn't mention his name without spitting and making a bad dick joke. Get the fuck over yourselves. No one listens to you.
I see, Ambassador Bolton: Clinton's visit "legitimized" the North Korean regime.
Fifty-plus years of lockdown military control didn't legitimize the regime; historically close ties with a permanent UNSC member (China) didn't legitimize the regime; rather, it will Wee Willy Plumpy-Porker's presence nearly a decade after leaving office that did it.
How does this guy still get on the air? I mean, other than the moustache, which, I think we can all agree, is utterly Brimleyan.
Thats a lovely green rug pictured in the photograph. It would look perfect in my dining room. Do you think if I contacted the North Korean embassy to the UN I could find out where they bought it?
Bill-the-snake-charmer rammed it home, whoo! Glory, glory, hallelujah! ..But check out the official photo, four out of the eight subjects are posing in that "protect the main assets" stance..
@MattGaymon:
I watched Scarface the other night and Frank(Robert Loggia!) had crazy sunset, palm tree mural/wallpaper on the wall in his office. I'm pretty sure this is where Kim Jong-Il got the idea.
This is what the pint-size tyrant wanted all along. To spin this into some kind of positive publicity for his crime syndicate of a country. I'm incredibly glad that these women are that much closer to coming home to their families, but at the same time there is a level of discomfort that we had to swallow our pride and send an ex-President over to placate the crazies.
@Paul.B.Dodd: Your discomfort is as nothing to the real agony of these two women breaking rocks and enslaved at a labor camp for the next 12 years. Get over it. Diplomacy works. Sometimes you have to deal with awful sorts to prevent tragedy. Swallow our pride? I'm immensely proud that President Clinton deftly saved the day here.
NK is a starved tinpot dictatorship- but there's power in seduction, and flattery even. To their mores, sending a former President is a sign of respect, that costs us nothing, and grants these women their freedom. People who worry about it as a "propaganda coup" for NK- well who the hell listens to NK propaganda?
I have to talk with jerks all the time. But this bitch gets things done.
