Wife of Kim Jong-il Gravely Ill: Sankei

Quoting an intelligence source in Seoul, Japan's Sankei Shimbun reported Wednesday that rumors are circulating that 51-year-old Ko Yong-hi, the wife of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, has slipped into critical condition. South Korean intelligence is rushing to confirm the rumors, the report said.

According to the source, following Ko's return to North Korea from Paris, where she received treatment for breast cancer, North Korea purchased an extremely expensive coffin from France and transported it back to Pyongyang aboard a specially chartered flight.

Ko gave birth to Kim Jong-il's second and third sons, 23-year-old Jong-chol and 18-year-old Jong-un, and within North Korea, she is nowadays being referred to as "respected mother," which is believed to be in connection with leadership succession.

Never-ending stories about Ko's health. I hope that, this time around, the news stick. There has been too much smoke about her well-being.

[TigerLikesRooster]

Ping!

[Xenalyte]

Kim ordered me to ping you. Who am I to refuse?

[AmericanInTokyo]

She was cute in her day.

Wonder how many people she got pissed off at and ordered to their immediate deaths or at least Chinese border labour camps?

[AmericanInTokyo]

What if that coffin turned out to be a "double-wide"??

[humblegunner]

Ahh, Mrs. Il not sick, ha ha, only pining for fjords of Pusan harbor.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Been there.

[samadams2000]

Order up another one crazy man.

[TigerLikesRooster]

Nice to hear from you again. As for "double-wide", Kim Jong-il will have his own home-made custom-fit sarcophagus. Not another coffin from a store.:)

"Kim Jong-il will have his own home-made custom-fit sarcophagus. Not another coffin from a store.:"

May a thimble be big enough to hold his remains after some does a Benny Laden on him.

The latest in coffins for lefties and liberals. Practical too, you only need two pall bearers.

"Jong-Chol?"

Is this the nitwit that got busted in Japan for illegal entry; the one who was allegedly being groomed as a successor to the demented midget that is currently ruling the "Hermit Kingdom?"

Just curious, because the name rings a bell. I just can't place it.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Nope. That was a younger brother. The older kid, however, a fatso with a three day shadow lugging designer handbags, who went to Tokyo Disneyland (and some provocative adult establishments in Tokyo where one gets toweled off afterwards), was/is: KIM Jong Nam.

[StoneFury]

Is this him?

[AmericanInTokyo]

Yep. That's him in the early 1980s in Pyongyang. Of course, the MM caps are photo shopped in, though.

[The Scourge of Yazid]

Thanks for the clarification!

We can only hope that these cretins eventually take themselves out of the gene pool, if for no other reason than simply due to general stupidity.

THE DARWIN AWARDS

-good times, G.J.P. (Jr.)

This is is arrest photo in Tokyo several years ago.

[The Scourge of Yazid]

No one looks good in their mug shots.

Not quite as bad as Nick Nolte though.

[StoneFury]

Yeah, he definitely chubbed out a bit. I guess having your every wish catered to isn't the best way to lose the baby fat.
