Number 3 at State Dept. on Kim Jong Il: Smart, Witty, Problem-Solver, Humorous, Engaged

Wendy Sherman, undersecretary of state for political affairs at the State Department, had some rather nice things to say about the reclusive Kim Jong Il, the dictatorial leader of North Korea who died a few days ago. She had met the rogue dictator, Josh Rogin reports, when Sherman "served as State Department counselor and North Korea policy coordinator under former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, [and had] traveled to Pyongyang with Albright in 2000."

An NPR obituary quotes the high ranking State Department official as saying that "He was smart and a quick problem-solver," and that "[Kim Jong Il] is also witty and humorous. Our overall impression was very different from the way he was known to the outside world."

Sherman sat next to Kim at a stadium to watch a huge festival of synchronized dancing. She says she turned to Kim and told him she had the sense that in some other life, he was a "great director."

I bet she brought her knee pads with her on that trip.

The Norks have reported and put in their school textbooks that Kim Jong-Il neither urinated nor defecated. That's probably what did him in and put him into his present condition of Pickled Kim-Chia.

3) Misunderstood the magnificence of Communism

4) Worshiper of the false hope called Liberty

6) Too much of an admirer of Ronald Reagan

7) Failed to grasp the leadership of the Soviet Union

8) Not a worldly multiculturalism supporter

9) Too Christian

10) Never let Obama bow to him.

North Korea is the utopia the Leftists seek to impose on the USA and the rest of the world.

From April 1996 until July 1997, Sherman was President and CEO of the newly recreated Fannie Mae Foundation, which developed to promote home ownership. She was also a member of the operating committee of Fannie Mae...

Leftscum generally idolize dictators because that’s who they want to be, so this is no surprise...

Now we know why he died!!! He filled up and went blind!

"He was smart and a quick problem-solver,"

Except for that little problem of perpetual famine.

Hell, they say the same about Obama - might be some dots to connect...

I remember everytime there was a new Soviet leader, and there were a few before Gorby, that they were all moderates because they got the suits from Seville Row and liked to drink scotch.

Merveilleiux, mon chien!

ACK? Who are the fiends in human form at the State Department? Nork is one of the most hellish countries in the world. The government tortures, starves, and performs Nazi like experiments on their people. The entire country is a vile concentration camp.

I want our country back.

That’s basically Paul Krugman’s lament that the US isn’t more like China.

Wendy you ignorant sl_t.

[catbertz]

Well played! List made me laugh.

I could never sit next to Kim without imagining all the horrors he has inflicted. How this little twit can gush about him is maddening. Maybe he gave her a ride on his little jong after the show.

When you say the death camps were "well known", you have to remember they were only well known by people whose minds aren't clouded by the leftist worldview. When the lefties hear about death camps, starvation, etc, they just imagine it must be right-wing propaganda. They just know that the real villains are the meddling American imperialists and their fascist South Korean stooges.

I bet (to hell and back again) that cute-little-intellectual Miss Wendy Sherman ...

... would view the "Witty Dictator" through darker glasses if his commie thugs had raped her in a North Korean dungeon for 8-10 years, just before her parents and little brothers and sisters were publicly executed for ...

... reading a secret copy of the New York Times ... smuggled in from Moscow ... back in 1987 ...

... and a Counter-Revolutionary Childrens' propaganda book ... "The Cat in the Hat" ...



Miss Wendy is CLEARLY just another of Stalin's "Useful Idiots" ...
