N. Korea: Kim Jong-il Suffered Heart-attack and Hospitalized Recently

N. Korean leader Kim Jong-il was rushed to a hospital recently due to myocardial infarction, according to June 8th report of Shukan Gendai, an weekly magazine.

According to this report, doctors from Berlin were brought in to perform an operation. 65 year-old has been in poor health, including diabetes, according to reports so far.

Shukan Gendai drew an attention last year by disclosing for the first time the picture of Kim Jong-il's new wife Kim Ok.

Even if we do not take this report at face value, I can believe his health deterioration is pickin up speed.

At this point, nobody may not be able to take him out, but the Grim Reaper certainly can.

Ping!

[Michael.SF.]

Castro or Kim Jong, who is gonna go first?

[hawkboy]

I hear that if you are ronery, you are more rikery to suffer a heart attack.

[DTogo]

Shukan Gendai is a weekly J-tabloid. Could be bogus.

[neodad]

Doctors from Berlin? Don’t they have free health care in North Korea? Couldn’t Fidel have sent a few? Oh, wait . . . . . . .

[struggle]

I hope China doesn’t try to take NK over. That would suck.

[SCHROLL]

I’d prefer the trifecta-Castro, Kim, and I’manutjob

[HAL9000]

Thanks for the good news.

[My Favorite Headache]

Ask Oprah...she had Michael Moore on her show for the whole hour today...she seems to think he is brilliant!

[NorCalRepub]

Even though younger I’m betting Little Kim goes first...his lifestyle it way more aberrant then Castro I’ll bet.... the little fat pig....

[farmer18th]

Perhaps he and Castro will die on the same day?

[Luke Skyfreeper]

NOT TRUE!

Dear Leader was only absent from office because on golf course today where score 18 hole in one. Clouds in sky form magnificent scene of 27 horses and riders, all red and orange with blue helmets from sunset form in sky to honor Dear Leader.

This what really happen, what you writing is capitalist propaganda!

[miliantnutcase]

Should we start an over/under?

[Luke Skyfreeper]

(And by the way, thanks for the news!)

[Michael.SF.]

I’m game!

[Luke Skyfreeper]

Why would they want it?

Roneriness is a reading cause of heart attacks. I think Chia Pet’s dad kicked the bucket due to a heart attack.

At this point, nobody may not be able to take him out, but the Grim Reaper certainly can.

From a King to Street Sweeper...
Nobody escapes the Grim Reaper...! :>)

Shukan Gendai drew an attention last year by disclosing for the first time the picture of Kim Jong-il's new wife Kim Ok.

His wife's name is Kim Ok?

Just Ok huh?

[Tamar1973]

Crazy Kim hospitalised for a heart attack?

Hey, monk, should you and I go 50/50 on a $250 Joon bear for poor old Crazy Kim ...

or should we just bring one of yours?

[REDWOOD99]

He divorced Kim So-So.

[river rat]

Would it be rude of me to say I await and would celebrate the drawn out and painful death of this dangerous and horny dog eating sonuvabitch?

Only if you didn't include an RSVP.

Surprising that they haven’t made any historical claims on the land yet!

[Zeon Cowboy]

Damn, so close...

[Ditter]

I know a Korean woman named Ok, it is pronounced oak.

[Mr Inviso]

how about we send him a get-well-soon gift of some eggs, butter, cheese and a truckload of cigarettes?

[mimaw]

With any luck they’ll go at the same time. Soon God willing.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Sounds just like rumors at this point, no independent confirmation, and he did appear 4 June at a “duck-rearing” farm, of all places. However, it is true that his health is nothing to write home about.

doctors from Berlin were brought in to perform an operation

If that's true, the story will come out soon enough.

How can a god suffer a heart attack? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Jong-il Kim Jong-il's official biography states that he was born atop Baekdu Mountain (백두산) at 6 o'clock in the morning in northern Korea on February 16, 1942. The official biography also holds that his birth at Baekdu Mountain was foretold by a swallow, and heralded by the appearance of a double rainbow over the mountain and a new star in the heavens
