Bill's comedy holiday snaps

A former president’s unofficial holiday to the Korean peninsula has generated some highly amusing snaps. Front row below (from left to right) William Jefferson Clinton (6 feet 1 inches) and Kim Jong-Il (5 feet 3 inches):

The camera angle makes it difficult to see if the Dear Leader is wearing his platform shoes again. But as North Korea settles into its status as a nuclear power this picture raises grave concerns to the international community, namely:

  1. What the hell is with that carpet?
  2. What the hell is with that wallpaper?

Was Jong-Il exchanging interior design tips with Saddam? Those looking for further amusement need look no further than the comedy-s*** website of North Korea’s official news agency, where the proud hosts have dedicated an entire section to Bill’s visit:

With headlines such as ‘Bill Clinton Arrives Here’ and ‘Bill Clinton Leaves Here’ Scrapbook can only wonder whether Liberal Democrat blogger Irfan Ahmed has been moonlighting for the DPRK?
