- North Korea said New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson met Monday with a ranking official of the communist country to deliver "a present" for leader Kim Jong-il.

A two-paragraph dispatch by the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) suggested Richardson has failed to meet with the 68-year-old leader amid festering regional tensions.

Imagine that a liberal bearing gifts for the enemy

Ipod with O’s speeches?

“Imagine that a liberal bearing gifts for the enemy.”

They are going to get us killed or force an armed rebellion if they do not stop this.

So. The cat's out of the bag.

This is highly predictable news. Unsurprising news. Gee-ya-don't-say news.

But we're jaded people here.

It's breaking news none the less.

[refermech]

A bag of cash probably...

I'd like to deliver a present to Kim Jong Il and I'd hope that he didn't hear the ‘ticking’.

[noexcuses]

If it wasn’t a daisy cutter up his patootie then I don’t want to hear about it!

” with a ranking official of the communist country “

‘ranking official’ - not ‘foreign minister’, not even ‘high ranking official’.... Greasy Bill’s ‘mission of hope’ got shuffled off to be politely ignored by some minor functionary....

Does not bode well for the ‘kick-the-can-down-the-road’ crowd.....

I was thinking a bullet to the head but that works too :)

I caught that bit in a story posted here earlier. “The most transparent administration in our country’s history” is being might secretive about this “gift.” I suspect it’s nothing good for the US.

So he schleps all the way over there, in winter no less, and the dictator refuses to meet with him? Shouldn’t this have been worked out in advance of the trip?

[NavyCanDo]

Kim Jong-il could quite possibly be the most insane person to ever run a Nation since the Caesars. For us to validate his leadership by presenting him a gift is moronic.

Netflix Streaming recommendation - National Geographic’s Inside North Korea. A real eye opener.

Leftists only know one way to deal with dictators: appeasement.

Lady GaGa's meat dress...?

Or another pair of the famous Carter giant rabbits....?

(the last set of giant rabbits sent to the Norks for breeding purposes were eaten by Kim Jong-il)

Maybe Richardson has already made a decision on his pardon of Billy the Kid and will present the great leader with an official pardon certificate for Kim Jong-il’s memorabilia collection of the Wild West...
