What can I say, I find it amazing that a american citizen had the courtesy to cross in to a hostile country and then land a book deal and make fame of such a disgraced event, one can only imagine what would have happend if a North Korean "Journalist" would have crossed the border illegally to the USA, trying to make a …report on america, common belief will dictate that this individual would have not just been sent on a plane home.

My favorite is the observation that there were no signs to show the border…. as if there should be a huge sign in English saying "WELCOME!" and "COME BACK AGAIN!" on the backside.

What on earth could we learn by meeting with KJI? The number of small children it takes to fill a stadium, hold up signs, and become human pixels? The shelf life of Russian caviar? The ideal age to teach goosestepping? Give me a break. Any meeting with KJI is pure propoganda that reveals absolutely nothing beyond what they want to tell us…. which is zilch.

Here's the LA Times article on them from earlier today:

IMHO, these ladies are a pair of lightweights. Despite their very defensive words in the piece, they did absolutely nothing to "shine light" on a dark place and forced their country to compromise its principles by further legitimizing a bunch of thugs.

Nice going, ladies.

This article is full of money quotes to anybody other than the audience it was intended for. If I just had more time. Here are a few quickies.

"There were no signs marking the international border, no fences, no barbed wire."

No, you stupid cows, there was a big, wide, frozen, white river that, had you cared to listen, spoke for itself.

"After arriving home, we were disoriented, overwhelmed and not ready to talk about the experience."

Read: We had to get our stories straight so it looked as if everybody else was to blame.

Go back and read my posts. Did I not call it or what!

Now it's off to a paid appearance on Oprah for a femino-commie circlejerk where one part of the screechy liberal media strokes another part in an orgy of manufactured "news" and, like soap powder or tampons, these two cows will be household names to 50 million under-educated yet voting and consuming American housewives who have no idea where Korea is in the world, or what it all means, but just can't understand how these two sweet things were so unlucky to get caught up with such bad people.

I don't know if it will ever come out… but my feeling is that their story of running back to China and being taken from Chinese soil is a lie… as is their denial of being told not to go to the river.

This decade sure has been marked by people becoming famous and rewarded for everything other than ability.

I can't wait for it to be over.
