NORTH Korean leader Kim Jong-il is suffering irregular convulsions after his stroke and Chinese authorities believe his long-term ability to govern will be impeded, a South Korean newspaper said today.

Although Kim is recovering, the convulsions prevented him from appearing at the parade marking North Korea's 60th anniversary on Tuesday, Chosun Ilbo quoted a diplomatic source based in Beijing as saying.

It said a senior Chinese official who met Kim in Pyongyang a few days before the anniversary reported the symptoms to Chinese authorities, but said Kim's speech and mental abilities were unimpaired.

Chinese intelligence authorities think Kim's strength will decline drastically, considering that he must avoid stress and his activities will be restricted, the newspaper reported.

I saw another report today that said Kim was having seizures.

Before we start feeling sympathetic toward this dog eating pot bellied midget, let us remind ourselves how many millions of N Koreans perished from starvation and disease because of him while he led an opulent lifestyle.

[Howie66]

I know just the thing to stop his convulsions.

Lest of his problems … eternity in hell might be a greater consideration for him..

I think we all knew this several years ago. Somebody needs to tell the Chinese to wake up.

PALIN'S FAULT!!

[Senator Goldwater]

Thanks. North Korea is one of those Orwellian nightmare places, and I find it amusing to listen to the drive-by media fretting about whether or not there is “stable” leadership in Pyongyang right now.
