North Korean leader Kim Jong-un 'has illness'
CNN ^ | 26 September 2014 | CNN

Posted on 09/26/2014 1:34:53 PM PDT by Dallas59

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has an unspecified medical problem, state media report, after he failed to appear at a key political event.

A report on state television said on Thursday that Mr Kim, 31, was in an "uncomfortable physical condition" but gave no details.

Earlier, the leader was absent from a session of the Supreme People's Assembly - North Korea's legislature.

Mr Kim has not been seen in public for more than three weeks.

His non-appearance at the SPA - to which he was elected in March with 100% of the vote - on Thursday prompted renewed speculation about the leader's whereabouts.

The report on state-run Central Television later in the day showed footage of the leader limping during one of his regular inspection tours back in July.

Same thing on this side of the Pacific......

Does 'Kim Jong-un looking at piano' have more generals to take notes than "Kim Jong-un looking at grass?"

It takes nine note-taking generals for him to look at a tree trunk:

However, it also takes a lot of note-taking generals for him to look at frozen foods:

Yet, none to look at children's socks:

Who makes these decisions?

Frankly, I don't believe this 'gout' nonsense. I think he's just tired from looking at things.

“Sounds like he has the gout.”

Nah, a suppurating pilonidal cyst would be good!
