Dennis Rodman is patiently waiting for the moment when the West credits him for single-handedly opening up North Korea to the rest of the world. The former basketball star and failed vigilante-diplomat told ESPN's Mark Schwarz that he "hated" America's reaction to his trip to the country, but apologized "if I put anybody in harm's way."
Rodman, who returned from the limelight after a hiatus and trip to rehab, told Schwarz that he had high hopes for North Korea. "It's so intriguing to hear him talk about sports," Rodman told Schwarz of the nation's dictator, Kim Jong-Un, the foremost violator of human rights in the world. Rodman insisted that Kim was "moving to the twenty-first century," and added that he was "hoping for, long term, it does open," referring to the North Korean state. He insisted that he expected the state to fully open, and "if it does happen, watch all these people kiss my ***."
Rodman was not all bravado, however. He also expressed some remorse, particularly regarding his handling of the case of American citizen Kenneth Bae, imprisoned in North Korea without being charged of a crime. During his last trip to the country, CNN's Chris Cuomo asked Rodman about the case during an interview, and received an aggressive defense of Kim Jong-Un, with Rodman repeatedly asking Cuomo, "Do you know what he did?" Rodman seemed to apologize specifically for that interview by apologizing for "being on TV having drinks and stuff like that and saying something that people thought was way out of line."(continued)

Rodman is a classic example of the Peter Principle.
Dennis must be smoking the EXPENSIVE crack.
I guess “democracy” in the DPRK will have to wait a little longer while little Kim kills the rest of his extended family and anyone else he feels “uncomfortable” with having around.
Democracy in NK will have zip to do with the freak from planet Zarkon
Is SOS Jon Kerry really any less retarded?
His ^$$ is going to be 6-feet under long before NK democratizes.
Go away Dennis, you have outlived you worthless life.
Uh, not likely, you’ll still need to pay for it on the street, dennis...
Not really, but Kerry was in VietNam once so he's got that going for him. :)
Right, Dennis . . . after we chip away the ice block in hell your a$$ is frozen in
An atheist democracy is no better than an Islamic democracy. Both go to hell.
