dlatn: that’s a lot of different sarcastic points jumbled together. I think I got most of them, but you’ve got to spell out at least two for me in more detail:

1) “..presidents would still likely be entitled to complete their term in office unless they were proven to give a nod to an illegal break-in to a hotel by two guys…”

I think you mean the Watergate break-in (?) (during the Nixon administration). If so, you need to know that the Watergate was (& still is?) not a hotel, but (going from memory) actually a complex of offices and condominiums (ie apartments owned rather than rented). The actual break-in occurred in the Democratic party national headquarters, which I’m going to guess was on the ground floor of one of the buildings (more than one tower, so it’s often referred to as the Watergate “complex). The “burglars”, whose code word for themselves was “plumbers” (I think there were several of them present that night, not just two) propped the door open somehow.

And this was noticed by an alert security guard, who just happened to be an alert American of ethnic Korean descent! He turned them in because he hated Republicans, knowing even then that the young “W” he’d seen following his daddy around DC was going to be the bane of all Korea someday! (Ok, I admit I made this last part up….)

2) “…Because few of our citizens at the time would fail to recocognize such a slap in the face as well-deserved, they wouldsupport any action the aforementioned bitten dog felt fit.”

This one’s got me completely “buffaloed.” I like the use of “aforementioned”, as I think that’s a good word that is underused; but to what antecedent does “bitten dog” refer?

I gather that in Korea it’s the humans that do the biting upon the dogs rather than the other way around — which makes for even more confusion.

The Roh government and the Uri party has one more year of life left before they melt away into insignificance.

Yes, I also wonder how many Roh’s parachutes left, but I could see this regime stepped in implosive phase, along with KJI regime.

dlatn, if I just heard you call this well deserved, I urge you to follow sound medical advice and get back on your meds.

And wash them down with a bottle of gin.

it’d be nice if members of the the US administration could resign for every screw up they made. With a population of only 300 million, it would give every US citizen avery probable chance of becoming a cabinet member at least once in ther lives, if for only 6 months.
However, presidents would still likely be entitled to complete their term in office unless they were proven to give a nod to an illegal break-in to a hotel by two guys, although at the risk of sacking if caught for receiving a headjob from an office aide.
Illegal invasions and the slaughter of thousands of foreign citizens would be ok though, if preceded by a well-deserved fucking-up-the-ass such as 9-11. Because few of our citizens at the time would fail to recocognize such a slap in the face as well-deserved, they wouldsupport any action the aforementioned bitten dog felt fit.

So, this Commie will be next Korean Foreign minister? The UN Secretary Ban will pass resolutions condemning NK and this Commie will fight Mr. Ban and the US on the issue.

It will be an interesting fight. A Korean fighting another Korean. Throw some chairs at the UN meetings?

The US should deny Visa to this Commie. Just dig his past. I am sure he did something illegal against the US. Deny Visa to this Commie!

This last year in power is for all those Uri Party mediocrities to polish up their nationalist credentials so they can return to academia as heroic patriots.
So brace yourselves for all kinds of pro-Nork statements from them in the months ahead.

Couldn’t agree more, mins0306. I doubt anyone even remotely associated with Kim Dae Jung or Roh Moo Hyun will win the next elections.

The Roh government and the Uri party has one more year of life left before they melt away into insignificance.

Let’s look at the bright side, how much damage can they do in one year? And everyone knows that the next government won’t be Uri or any left-wing offshot, which means a government that will work to get the alliance on track.
