He offered to smoke a cigar with Kim Jong Il and they were freed immediately.
Magox Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 He offered to smoke a cigar with Kim Jong Il and they were freed immediately. no no no, he told him about this young not so slim white chick that could do favors for him at the office.
Wooderson Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 He offered to smoke a cigar with Kim Jong Il and they were freed immediately. Yea, probably a cigar not filled with tobacco.
DrDawkinstein Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 id come out of voting retirement if i could vote for Bill again
Hazed and Amuzed Posted August 5, 2009 Author Posted August 5, 2009 Yeah...pumped up and legitimized a dictator. Yeah...great job. Take your positive outlook back to PPP...
DrDawkinstein Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 lol, i love the use of the term "legitimized". as if this meeting means that everything that Kim Jong Il has done is ok with us. puh-lease...
The Senator Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 Actually, it would appear that the pardon and release of these journalists was pre-arranged weeks ago, with the U.S. 'pullback' of it's public demand for their release to the North Korean gov't, and Ms. Clinton's public statement of apology. Once that North Korean demand was met, all that was left was for Obama to capitulate fully to Kim Jong-il's demand for a 'face-to-face' meeting and photo op with nothing less than a former U.S. President - so all Slick Willie had to do was hop on a gov't plane and reap the benefits of a done deal. In reality, it was probably Al Gore - whose Current TV network employed the two journalists - that worked harder than anyone for their release, and who likely prevailed upon Clinton to help out, although I noticed Hillary's making a little noise in the New York Times this morning, insisting she was involved, no doubt concerned that Bill doesn't get all the credit and marginalize her stature as Sec. of State and future Presidential candidate.

He flew to North Korea, posed for pics and boarded a plane with the two chicks that he thought were in Austin Powers/Goldmember.

I can appreciate us getting hostages out for really doing very little. I just hope it doesn't "legitimize" terrorists or rogue governments expecting to meet with high-level officials every time they capture/kidnap an American to win their freedom. All in all, this was a small price to pay for the reporters' freedom and this is coming from a Republican.

Said this in another thread. Douchebag politicos just don't go over there and get something like this done. They aren't that bright and don't have the balls to stand up to someone like that little freak. Unless cash is involved or something is given up. People are so fuggin dumb to buy this kinda $h1t.
Hazed and Amuzed Posted August 5, 2009 Author Posted August 5, 2009 Should have checked PPP instead:http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?showtopic=92809 I would've but I decided to stop with the self punishment about a year ago. That board reminds me of this quote by Milton R. Sapirstein: “There is nobody as enslaved as the fanatic, the person in whom one impulse, one value, has assumed ascendancy over all others.” That place is full of the ridiculi populous.
