N. Korea Releases Hostages = Photo OP

[graywolf]

Didn't catch the whole broadcast, but here's what I saw.  Two tearful young journalists surrounded by Bill Clinton, Al Gore and other "officials".  If they were U.S. citizens, what were they doing in a country that Our State Dept. has on the "No Travel List" in the first place?  Is it just me or did Bill Clinton actions undermine the rhetoric that his wife, the Sec of State, has been spouting for the past 7 months?  And what was Mr. Gore doing in the picture?  The sound was not on during the broadcast so I did not hear what they were saying.  Was Gore blaming the whole incident on Climate Change?  Perhaps the N Koreans were experiencing "hot flashes" or "chills" and that's what made them do it?  At any rate, it was One Awesome Photo Op!  The Rev. Jackson must finally accept that as long as the Clintons are around, his services are no longer required.

My personal headline:

"Welcome home to brave American journalists."
Sub heading: "Former President Bill Clinton shows up weak and wishy washy current president."

It is very clear that Barack Obama has little, to no, respect around the world.

He has no respect HERE, why should he get any anywhere else ?

Honestly, I'm a lttle confused as to why BO and Hillary didn't open up a back door channel. We get the journalists back and the crisis is over, but ONLY if they kept Bill.

Too much competition for Kim Jong's bevy of beauties!  We all know how Slick Willy likes the ladies!  Probably had the two journalists slip into blue Gap dresses for the ride home!

 

Anyone fill up my empty Glenmorangie in the corner?
