I had always thought that KJI meeting Kim Dae-jung at the airport was a clever PR move, guessing that Kim Dae-jung would be too overwhelmed by the gesture to try to make any public (symbolic?) comments or speeches at the airport. Maybe KJI doesn’t really care what President Roh has to say.

KJI doesn’t have to greet Roh to get his propagana photo-op. Has anyone seen the new, updated, website for S. Korea? I went to see it out of curiosity, and dang near fell off my chair. Looks like both Roh and KJI work at the Blue House, from the picture that greets ya….. Now THAT has got to be good for a propaganda article or two up North…..

Does anyone remember the SK propaganda from the last century that usually pictured KIS with a big bandaid on the back of his neck, covering up the largish wen that KIS had? Perhaps KJI also has a wen which is dusturbing his mental faculties.

“My guess is that he’s been fighting a chronic disease.”

Wouldn’t surprise me either. Diabetes? Hypertension? Mental illness (es)? A cocktail of STDs? Impotence? Eventually, and hopefully sooner than later, we’ll get to find out. It will make for some pretty good reading. It will also mean the old bastard’s dead.

#4,

I notice that many of the pictures of KJI that were published in the last couple of years show someone who just barely looks like him. Some people said he looked sick, but I think those were just his doubles. Why would his doubles start popping up left and right? My guess is that he’s been fighting a chronic disease.
