If your eyes can take the pain, my latest KT piece is a quick review of the major (and some not so major) parties in Wednesday’s National Assembly elections. While I barely mentioned a couple of parties, I felt the need to write a few paragraphs on the “Pro-Park Geun-hye Alliance” (친박연대):
One problem the GNP has to deal with is the presence of a splinter group calling itself the “Pro-Park Geun-hye Alliance.” As the name suggests, the origins of the group can be traced to the latent friction between Lee and former GNP Chairwoman Park Geun-hye left over from their bitter presidential nomination fight last year…
Park has not joined the splinter group, but that has not stopped them from prominently displaying a picture of her weeping in their campaign materials. While Park has chosen to remain in the GNP, she has refused to publicly campaign for GNP candidates. Not surprisingly, the alliance is strongest in Park’s power base in the southeast.
If you think I am joking about the ‘weeping Park Geun-hye’ bit, check this out.
Geez. What’s next, stigmata?
