#3,

Yeah, but Roh also bragged that he had never been to the US.

#19,

Yeah, I also rarely find BS funny at all, especially when a large number of people will eat it up and ask for seconds.

#29,

Yeah, what happened to her plans for universal health-care? If you’re to believe Michael Moore, find who her largest contributors are and you’ll get your answer.

both Hill Clinton and Chung Dong young are saying whatever people want to hear to get elected. Both are making oxymoron claims on various issues.

Don’t see it?

You’re blinded by the war.

Things that are likely to happen in November:

1) Lee Hoe-Chang declares his intention to run, taking a large chunk of Lee MB’s support
2) Park GH throws her weight behind Lee Hoe-Chang
3) BBK scandal involving Lee MB dominates headlines
4) The lefties stage another ‘grand unification’ to throw their support behind one candidate, which will likely be Chung

After all these Lee MB won’t seem as inevitable as he now does.

I’m in on on the shave-the-head pledge in case Chung Dong-young wins the election. On the other hand, having a completely bald pate instead of a jet-black wig from “Hi-Mo” would make politically-unreliable foreigners easier to round up once the pogroms start.

Comparing that clown to Mrs Clinton does her a great disservice. She might have the heart and carriage of a battleship, but she does not deserve to be compared to a perennial Amateur Hour-er.

“Chung doesn’t remind you of Hill Clinton?”

Not all that much. He’s not female. He’s not married to a former president. He’s not a former governor of a state he isn’t from. He’s probably not as smart as Ms. Clinton. He’s less likely (I truly hope!) to win than she is. He may have had as much cosmetic surgery as her, but I don’t claim to be an expert.

“One thing that hasn’t changed about Korea, the Korea that I remember is the incumbent President’s party using all the dirty tricks in the book to sway the minds of the mostly stupid public to vote and reinstate the incumbent party.”

wjk, this is absolutely true, but this elelction strategy is not exactly alien to the United States or other western democracies.

Is it me, or is this guy’s black shoe polish cheaper than most around here?

I like this one:

“Despite his unwavering pro-U.S. stance, he said he rejects the idea of ‘blind worship of or servile attitude to the United States’ often called flunkeyism.”

Translation: All take and no give.

Then, you’re a bloody hypocrite. Conservative Republican-like to Korea.

Liberal Democrat-like with your own country.
