North Korea's Kim misses major event again: South

By Jon Herskovitz

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korean leader Kim Jong-il failed to attend the funeral of one of the most senior members of the communist state, the South said on Friday, adding to speculation about the health of the reclusive leader.

Kim, 66, was thought to have suffered a stroke in August. He has attended funerals for lower ranking members of the communist state before and his absence from this week's funeral of an old-guard cadre who served with his father raises questions if he is fit enough to appear in public.

"Chairman Kim Jong-il is confirmed not to have attended the funeral," Unification Ministry spokesman Kim Ho-nyeon said at a news conference.

The guy is definitely not road-mobile. Or maybe he was too embarrassed to show up in public with electrodes stuck into his scalp.:-)

What IS it with these Commies.

They get sick, we never see 'em.

They die, we have to look at 'em for all eternity.

I guess that, when you are dead, nobody has to go after you. Death can certainly get rid of one pesky irritation of life: your competition going after your head.

At this rate Kim, Achmadinijad, and Castro might be gone not long after Bush leaves office. Chavez and Putin will also have to scale back their more expensive mischief making schemes. That would be quite a rounding up of the extended Axis of Evil. Naturally, the press will credit these welcome developments to the foresight and mystical powers possessed by The One - even if he is not in office.

Rovetitis has no cure. It is especially deadly to those who falsely take credit for killing its victims.
