North Korean reclusive leader Kim Jong-Il's health has further deteriorated and he can no longer walk without difficulty due to worsening diabetes, a South Korean lawmaker said.
Kim, 64, has long suffered from diabetes, kidney and liver problems and now has difficulty walking, said Chung Hyung-Keun, a longtime intelligence official now affiliated with the opposition Grand National Party. "Kim has problems walking more than 30 meters at once and has to sit and rest [frequently]. Kim has been accompanied by an assistant with a chair," said Chung.

Oil below $63 Kimmy sick and probably dying. The good news just keeps coming.
I thought medical treatment was the best in communist countries?
GOOD!
This would explain alot of things going on in the "magic" kingdom" lately.
Yep, according to the libs Cuba and North Korea have the best medicine. Here is a toast to his quick demise. Hehehehe.
Trust me. Someone will tell him he can be cured by drinking a drop of blood obtained from the livers of 10,000 babies.
First Castro, now Dear Pipsqueek... life is good!
It hurt when I pee.
First Castro and now the illmatic. I think it's just old age and both of them are notorious liars so I'll bet they're pushing 90. Hard.
Be careful. I wished that on someone advocating murder and got a six hour time-out.
Is Jong Nam the girly son?
He'll probably die sooner than most think. A prophetic word about 6 months ago said he's history.
Oil plummeting on market, Castro sick, Kim sick, Rasmussen has shown GW going up all week to 47% today. And it's still going up. Can we hear a giant Free Republic Amen!
I don't care that he or his spies learn about this, but I am using a new drug for diabetic neuropathy (prescribed by my wife's podiatrist, surprise surprise!) that is providing a very definite improvement in my feet! The drug is Lyrica (pregabalin) and is a successor to Neurontin (gabapentin) from the same manufacturer. The difference for me is that it actually is working!
the Il-matic has too much hair to be 90!
Not a bad idea. Can we slip something in the visiting Iran dudes suitcase too and one in the lovely gift from us that he'll deliver to his President when he gets back home to Iran?
