P!
LOL righttttt,,,, a complete waste of time.
Doubtless , Richardson and Blitzer will return with a piece of paper to wave.

Alas, it was only a dream.
I’ve seen this Play before.

Lol. Yeah, the Kims were waiting for you to get there so they could turn the gov’t into a benevolent democracy.
Imagine if Bill Richardson tried to walk out of NKorea with pants and socks full of archived material.
If he were to do it, that would be the greatest achievement Bill has ever done.:-)
Hey fat boy richardson... peeing into the wind is something Jim Croce warned you about.
LLS
Not for the Norks with the big check they got!
Are the NORKs canibals? Perhaps the two will be eaten:)
They will also have eaten very well and maybe experienced some of the more exotic women...
Did he take Monica Lewinsky along as a notetaker?
I read she’s good at shorthand.
Grandstanding Clintanoid idiot.
His diplomatic skills are such that he could not even convince Monica to work for him.
