Park Jin: One step closer to world domination

Park Jin will bring his maximum lobes to the National Assembly’s Foreign Affairs and Trade Committee (Korea Times):

Rep. Park Jin of the governing Grand National Party was elected chairman of the National Assembly’s Foreign Affairs and Trade Committee Tuesday.

Park, 52, defeated Nam Kyung-pil, 43, who had won the endorsement of party floor leader Hong Joon-pyo.

After graduating from Seoul National University, Park worked for the Foreign Ministry before earning a master’s from Harvard University and a doctorate from Oxford University. He also served as a presidential aide under the Kim Young-sam administration.

Park is on the short list of possible GNP nominees in the next presidential election.

    “a master’s from Harvard University and a doctorate from Oxford University”?

    Prove it. Where are his transcripts? Don’t forget to seal, notarize, apostille, and verify them.

    As for his education, I think he’s the real deal. It’s that supposed “dolphin diet” I’m not buying.

    He’s a smart guy, fluent in English and familiar at least with the buzzwords that foreign investors and free-marketeers want to hear.

    Park Jin is positioning himself to be the best equipped politician to sell out the country since Park Chonghee. No mean feat given the line-up of brown-nosing traitors Korea breeds.
