Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

O’bama O’bama Kneepad cornfedbubba to Take Credit in 3…2…1…

Castro or Chavez, next

Schadenfreude on December 18, 2011 at 10:23 PM

…and a thousand purple cranes crapped lotus petals the moment the Dear Leader chose to shed his earthly body and join the heavenly pantheon of midget elvis impersonators…

can’t wait to see the NorK propiganda on this.

29Victor on December 18, 2011 at 10:23 PM

Bin Laden, Quadaffi, AND Kim Jong Il? Wow. Just wow.

UnderstandingisPower on December 18, 2011 at 10:24 PM

Today we have lost a great man, a fighter for true freedom, proper governance, and human rights. And to console those of us mourning that great man, Vaclav Havel, the Communist dictatorial scum Kim kicks the bucket. Ah, balance.

Gingotts on December 18, 2011 at 10:24 PM

Gutsy call Mr. President.

El_Terrible on December 18, 2011 at 10:20 PM

Yeah, how long ’til OUR Dear Leader takes credit for this one?

29Victor on December 18, 2011 at 10:24 PM

I hope this is the start of something good.

John the Libertarian on December 18, 2011 at 10:24 PM

The PRC leadership must be sweating bullets right about now.

chimney sweep on December 18, 2011 at 10:24 PM

NoKo spring anyone?

pedestrian on December 18, 2011 at 10:25 PM

The world has lost one of its greatest golfers.

Mark1971 on December 18, 2011 at 10:25 PM

Can George Soros be next?

tom daschle concerned on December 18, 2011 at 10:25 PM

The PRC leadership must be sweating bullets right about now.

chimney sweep on December 18, 2011 at 10:24 PM

Either that or drawing up occupation plans.

That’s why I’m sweating bullets.

KingGold on December 18, 2011 at 10:25 PM

Good by you little tyrant bastard.

Graystoke on December 18, 2011 at 10:25 PM

Yeah, how long ’til OUR Dear Leader takes credit for this one?

29Victor on December 18, 2011 at 10:24 PM

As soon as someone tells him who Kim was and where North Korea is…and they get the teleprompter programmed.

Oldnuke on December 18, 2011 at 10:25 PM

Obama can’t take credit for Kim Jong Il’s death … he’d look bad in his enemies eyes…

The Nerve on December 18, 2011 at 10:26 PM

I hear Obama hesitated as usual but Panetta gave the go-ahead anyway. While Hollyweird listened in, of course.

viking01 on December 18, 2011 at 10:26 PM

And there goes the KOSPI

Bye bye, Juche-bag.

Gingotts on December 18, 2011 at 10:26 PM

Will dear leader take credit for this as well?

cmsinaz on December 18, 2011 at 10:27 PM

Either that or drawing up occupation plans.

That’s why I’m sweating bullets.

KingGold on December 18, 2011 at 10:25 PM

I don’t think China wants North Korea. I think they’re more concerned about keeping an influx of N.Korean refugees out of China.

Oldnuke on December 18, 2011 at 10:28 PM

Breaking news… Platform shoe sales plummet.

Flange on December 18, 2011 at 10:28 PM

One down, a few more to go, but its still progress

OrthodoxJew on December 18, 2011 at 10:28 PM

Baba Wawa waited too long.

The comedy world will miss him. I will not. For the sake of comedy, I hope that his son is as zany as he is.

His death was from “physical and mental overwork?” Wow, the media spin over there is insane. His son is “believed to be in his late 20s.” Thats just..incredible.

vegconservative on December 18, 2011 at 10:28 PM

can’t wait to see the NorK propiganda on this.

29Victor on December 18, 2011 at 10:23 PM

I’m surprised they even announced it. I would have thought they’d pump him full of formaldehyde, sit him a wheelchair, and let him be seen briefly for photo ops.

Flora Duh on December 18, 2011 at 10:28 PM

I’m so ronery. Too soon?

carbon_footprint on December 18, 2011 at 10:28 PM

Castro or Chavez, next

Schadenfreude on December 18, 2011 at 10:23 PM

I’d say both by this time next year.

El_Terrible on December 18, 2011 at 10:29 PM

KingGold on December 18, 2011 at 10:25 PM

At least North Korean’s standard of living would go up a little, eh?

The Nerve on December 18, 2011 at 10:29 PM

Crazy Kim Jong Il

Schadenfreude on December 18, 2011 at 10:29 PM

You know who is like Kim Jong-Il? Newt Gingrich.

Punchenko on December 18, 2011 at 10:31 PM

He’s probably sharing a room with Hitler right now. They don’t call it Hell for nothing.

NickDeringer on December 18, 2011 at 10:31 PM

Bye bye blackguard. Hope it’s ronery where he’s going

Sekhmet on December 18, 2011 at 10:31 PM

I’m surprised they even announced it. I would have thought they’d pump him full of formaldehyde, sit him a wheelchair, and let him be seen briefly for photo ops.

Flora Duh on December 18, 2011 at 10:28 PM

Aah, the Pelosi Strategy.

29Victor on December 18, 2011 at 10:31 PM

Can George Soros be next?

tom daschle concerned on December 18, 2011 at 10:25 PM

One can hope.

Flora Duh on December 18, 2011 at 10:32 PM

Punchenko on December 18, 2011 at 10:31 PM

You’re not going to get your second moon talking that way…

The Nerve on December 18, 2011 at 10:32 PM

Kim has schools teach people that his birth led to a spontaneous rainbow breakout… and that he doesn’t defecate.

No sh!t!

carbon_footprint on December 18, 2011 at 10:32 PM

If I lived in Seoul, I’d get the hell out.

Apologetic California on December 18, 2011 at 10:33 PM

AMF to KJI

viking01 on December 18, 2011 at 10:33 PM

Castro or Chavez, next

Schadenfreude on December 18, 2011 at 10:23 PM

Assad

cozmo on December 18, 2011 at 10:33 PM

Matt Damon!

Bishop on December 18, 2011 at 10:33 PM

Well, at least he isn’t Il any longer.

Flange on December 18, 2011 at 10:34 PM

If I lived in Seoul, I’d get the hell out.

Apologetic California on December 18, 2011 at 10:33 PM

Yup. They were concerned about an attack when Kim’s pappy died too.

29Victor on December 18, 2011 at 10:34 PM

…and there was much rejoicing.

HotAirian on December 18, 2011 at 10:35 PM

If I lived in Seoul, I’d get the hell out.

Apologetic California on December 18, 2011 at 10:33 PM

It’s certainly a scary time. No one really knows who’s running the country.

Punchenko on December 18, 2011 at 10:35 PM

Who’s next in line to threaten to fire nukes at East Asia now?
KingGold on December 18, 2011 at 10:16 PM

Heh.

Bishop on December 18, 2011 at 10:36 PM

Castro or Chavez, next

[Schadenfreude on December 18, 2011 at 10:23 PM]

If now there was a time for it to come in threes … fingers crossed.

Dusty on December 18, 2011 at 10:36 PM

He died from masturbating too furiously.

John the Libertarian on December 18, 2011 at 10:36 PM

he injects himself with the blood of virgins to stay young.

Well, that settles that debate.

Flora Duh on December 18, 2011 at 10:38 PM

John the Libertarian on December 18, 2011 at 10:36 PM

Fast and furiously! That Holder, he’s got a hand in everything.
