Dick Morris thinks the two freed hostages should still be back in Pyongyang
By David Neiwert Wednesday Aug 05, 2009 2:00pm
Everyone but Fox analysts pretty much celebrated yesterday's release of the two American women held hostage in North Korea, thanks to Bill Clinton's diplomatic efforts.
On Fox and elsewhere on the right, as Ben Armbruster at Think Progress observes, it's all a bunch of sour grapes, claiming that we gave Pyongyang a propaganda victory. All of which goes to prove the old adage that ideologues think ideas are more important than people.
The worst of the bunch, though, had to be that sewer-dwelling toe-sucking gnome, Dick Morris, on Fox and Friends this morning with Gretchen Carlson, during which he called Clinton's successful negotations "ridiculous":
Carlson: How are we supposed to get the girls home, though, Dick? And I only have 30 seconds. How are we supposed to get them home?
Morris: I don't know. I don't know. Maybe they don't come home. Maybe they go to North Korea and live with the consequences of their decision to go there.
These people are really beyond redemption, aren't they?

... who needs assholes?
F*ck you Dick Morris. I am not going to call him a subhuman piece of shit, because that would imply he is somehow related to the human race.
dick is suck a f#cking a$$hole
that if this was his daughters
he would ask s korea to prostitute
them and half the money.
He's a grabastic piece of amphibian shit.
Ok DICK...we'll send you and John Bolton over to North Korea to replace Ling and Lee.
Just how much money and what other type of military equipment was exchanged for some of Blackwater , Halliburton or other special people to the terrorist of foreign countries for their releases...
Of the ones they told you about , they never say they gave they money or such , just claim they were released and every thing was secret..
It was something like food, they use mainly Russian stuff or Chinese copies of Russian stuff, it would look suspicious if suddenly they had M-4s.
I was thinking more like Falluja with big shiny crucifixes around their necks and wearing "Jesus Saves!" T-shirts.
Morris: I don't know. I don't know. Maybe they don't come home. Maybe they go to North Korea and live with the consequences of their decision to go there.
Really, Dick? Really? Given that opinion, why don't you have to live with the consequences of being a toe-sucking, whore mongering disgusting troll of a semi-human? Oh wait...you're on Faux--that may be consequence enough.
Got milk?
Took Bill one freaking day to bring these 2 hostages home.
If the two young women had been Jewish...you can bet Morris would not have been so unimpressed. These neocon bastards like to start wars, but a funny thing then happens, while their sons and daughters sip Starbucks special blends, the goyas get blown up in some hell hole like Iraq.
"Maybe they don't come home"...is a sentence only a heartless war loving neocon bastard could mutter!
These people are really beyond redemption, aren't they?
You haven't figured that out yet?
If these two criminals didn't show you just how corrupted and criminal they and the republican party was,,, then are beyond help...
It looks as if Chris Matthews today was trying to kill any attempts for anyone to give Clinton any credit for their release..
Chris still has his republican hate in him which he used to attack Clinton in the 1990's and the 2000's... Chris also called Americans which were attacking Bush's crimes ,,,, Waco's and phrase Bush Cheney and called them good people at least thru 2005..
A leopard never changes his spots... Except if their are right wing republicans....
Republicans believe that the average American should be keep in their place...
"...ideologues think ideas are more important than people..."
Probably because they have so few ideas.
Or maybe you can stick your twisted little ideology up your arse, Dick.
toe truck...
Yeah, I care what this chucklehead thinks.
Let him say that face to face with the father of that little girl who got her mom back this morning. I have a feeling Dick might get his shit eating grin wiped off his face real fast.
Why didn't he just say they deserved to be in prison for 12 years because they work for Al Gore? That had to play a part in his comment.
An idiot like Dick Morris would hesitate for an instant to tell a child any of his insane lies?
Irrelevant.
Wasn't Morris a writer for Nixon?
He used to be a political consultant for Bill Clinton until he was caught paying a prostitute to suck his toess...or was he sucking hers? I forget which.
Obama would be weak.
Heads I win; tails you lose...
Dubya wouldn't have been able to pull that off. Not in a lifetime.
WTH is wrong with this clown Morris?
Hey, Dick? I suppose you think it's ok for US citizens to be held captive.
BC stands miles above dubya. I know he ain't perfect, but compared to dubya, he's a helluva lot closer.
Just imagine how McCain/Palin would have handled this.
Think how that asshat Bolton would have handled it!
They would have invaded Japan.
Of Saint Ronnie Reagan:
" The bombing will start in five minutes"
She knows how to deal with the Russians but she can't see North Korea from her house.
"You can see someone in S Korea peeing her pants from N Korea"
Dick better hope to hell that there is no such thing as Karma.
And also hope to karma that there's no such thing as hell.
so Karma wouldn't be effective either way. ;o}
Oops, my bad
I mean not only were the Clintons and Obama and Gore and everyone all pulling together here. We got our people back and it also cost us nothing! Not even in the hyper-sensitive terms of diplomacy.
All it took was a short visit from an ex-president to stroke Kim's ego a bit.
Whereas if the GOP was still in charge, they'd be rattling on about the importance of not appearing 'weak' now and our people would still be rotting in a NK prison.
So they go blame the victims. No wonder. What else do they have?
Good point! It must be awful to live a life where something like this doesn't make you happy for all involved.
... John Bolt-on and Dick "The 'psti' is silent" Morris call it 'weakening our position' - I call it bringing home to the North Koreans that they really don't have a strong hand. You're going all-in on holding two American journalists? Really?
And I'd wager not only is the entire negotiating team getting exhaustively debriefed, there was probably a CIA agent among them, who is now giving a nice report on the state of Kim Jong-Il's health.
We lost nothing, and it would seem we stand to gain everything we were after.
Epic...success.
Hard for Faux to swallow, though. Sux to be them.
Bush would've attacked SOUTH Korea.
President Clinton's rolodex full of people who have big bucks.
So what. He got his circle together, had private money pay for everything, and got the job done.
Well connected rethugs would have said no to using their own money for the trip and fucked it up with McGrampa in charge. They cry like a one year old child when the dems get it done.
It boggles the mind the mean-spirited pettiness of the GOP. Clinton, who has never been my favorite Dem president, made some rich people do the right thing! What's not to like?
Yeah you f*^!*n hypocritical, traitor Dick; because the Repukes are so good at living with the consequences of their actions.
Dick Morris literally is "too stupid to insult".
"Maybe they don't come home. Maybe they go to North Korea and live with the consequences of their decision to go there."
WTF is wrong with the conservative movement?
you'll find the answers you desire
the ideas and constituency of assholes.
Imagine, Little Dick Morris was once advisor to the President of the USA and now he's fielding stupid questions from a pair of Fox meat puppets. What a comedown.
there we're beatnicks, hippies, civil rights movement . . think it stopped there when Reagan came in.
... a matter of pride that we would never leave an American citizen behind. Whatever it took, we brought our people home. Even journalists. Which is what those two women are, not quite sure what Dick Morris is supposed to be.
All it took was an understanding by an ex-President that Kim wanted to save some face, Asian style, and a small photo op with a former president his country actually respects, as well as - and this is really the big one - possibly pave the way to reopening negotiations with the US after Bush slammed the door on anything so wussie and liberal as, y'know, diplomacy. Who cares that Kim has a buncha nukes and an unstable country?
Now if these two had been, I dunno, white male Republican Fox news reporters instead of two ladies with funny names like Ling and Lee, Morris might be less cavalier about letting them serve twenty years of hard labour. Of course, if they'd been white male Republican Fox news reporters they'd never have been in the area at all...
Didn't we get some guys back from Lebanon back when Reagan was President?
Red-Ink Raygun did an arms-for-hostages deal and also sent a cake and a Bible to the Iranian muhlahs.
I knew that that the Marines were withdrawn in 1983 after the bombing, but I didn't think any civilians were rescued.
The Republicans arranged for the hostages to be kept from their freedom until King Ronnie the Senile assumed office
in a ploy to make Raygun look good and Carter look bad.
Then they gave this enemy weapons for helping with the little PR stunt.
Country First!
I'm not sure if the hostages were civilians or military. We still negotiated with terrorists. But IOKIYAR.
who were taken hostage when the US embassy was overrun.
Those hostages were in Tehran and that happened before RayGun was in office. They were released minutes after he took the oath of office in 1981.
We're talking about hostages in Lebanon that were taken after he was in office. Which lead to the arms-for-hostages deal which took place in '85 and '86. The proceeds going to the Contras in Nicaragua
...and tons of cocaine dumped in ghettos by Bush's CIA to pay for the deal.

Exactly. For me the killer quote of the clip was the doufus saying: "We don't negotiate with terrorists". I couldn't tell if he was being facecious or serious, but the look on his face showed a very serious and sincere look. What a hoot!
Lets put DICK in a room with the two husbands and explain what he meant
Here's the rub. Should we all not be on notice that there's shit happening in the world, and that as a responsible citizen of it we should keep out of other nation's business? How many of us get sick and tired of hearing about people doing stupid stuff that has to get them rescued. Really, I don't know what the circumstances of their capture was, but they were certainly close enough to NK to have known better.
I'm glad they made it back, but I'd like to see the State Dept. put American's on notice to stop screwing around in other countries, especially those that don't like us. It puts us in a really crappy position when we have to rescue them.
Flame away, but just think about it for a minute... with your brain, not your emotions.
Oh, and Dick Morris is still an inconsiderate ass 99.999% of the time - he's just not completely wrong on this topic.
investigating the number of North Korean women being shipped into China as sex slaves.
They weren't gormless tourists, wandering where they shouldn't out of ignorance or arrogance. They weren't terrorists determined to hurt anyone or blow up anything. They weren't black market traffickers dealing in endangered animal parts decimating Asian wildlife.
They were journalists doing a job, a job that comes with considerable risks to get the kind of news to you and me that otherwise those in North Korea would be just as happy to stifle - like children starving and women sold as sex slaves and any myriad of things those of us with free access to media take at face value as our flipping RIGHT to know, like how many nukes does North Korea have and are they really capable of doing serious damage to, oh, say... you and me?
So - if you're willing to live in ignorance, fine. Let's castigate all the journalists with the balls (these girls have bigger ones than most guys I know) to take the risk to get the news. But I for one am proud of Clinton, and proud of these women. We have so few journalists willing to take risks to get the real news left anymore, and none of them work for Fox.
1. Dick Morris is an ass.
2. He's not completely wrong on this issue. I don't care if these people were journalists or not. They were American citizens who should have known better. If they really want this topic investigated, they should have supported other journalists who would not be such easy and obvious targets for kidnapping. The whole situation regarding negotiating with terrorists and rogue states when they have you over a barrel is an incredibly crappy situation to be in. These journalists arrogantly assumed they were the only ones who could do this investigation, and that they probably had special protected status from the worst because they were Americans. I have little sympathy for their predicament.
3. On the other hand, Dick Morris and the frothing right completely overstate the "propaganda coup" of the North Korean Gov't in getting Bill Clinton to go over to get them. Who really cares? Everyone in the world knows the score on this, and no-one but the North Korean Gov't is deluded enough to think that it means much of anything at all. I don't believe that we just handed over Czechoslovakia to the Nazis here, did we. Oh, brother...
4. We on the left ARE allowed to agree with points made by those on the right when we believe they have a point which is not completely invalid, are we not? Or are we just like them?
being slightly right for completelly wrong reasons, still counts as being wrong.
So the next time an unfriendly country gloms on to a couple of our citizens, journalists, tourists, whatever ...
... we'll just shrug, figure they must have done SOMETHING to deserve being arrested, and tell them to go fucking twist in the gorram wind. Oh, and the families? Too fucking bad.
Morris' view is completely invalid. Or is freedom only something we trumpet when it's convenient to us to do so? Diplomacy is not a zero-sum game.
"If they really want this topic investigated, they should have supported other journalists who would not be such easy and obvious targets for kidnapping."
That, my friend, is a crock of shit.
We've had 8 years of journalists sitting around and ignoring important stories while they wait for someone in a 'better position' to do it. Kind of nice to see someone really to take a risk to do the job.
And incidentally, why the assumption that there was someone better to do the story? You just assume that women can't be the best? Or is it because they're Asian? Or American? How about a novel thought here - Asian societies are very much closed societies. Non-Asians are not going to get the story at all. And I can't think of anyone in a better position to find out what's happening to Asian women than a couple of other Asian women.
There are enough problems to report on here. Unfortunately, American journalists these days seem to care about every place on Earth EXCEPT the U.S.
"And incidentally, why the assumption that there was someone better to do the story? You just assume that women can't be the best? Or is it because they're Asian? Or American?"
What a buffoon you are. I can see that ideological fascism is unfortunately alive and well even here where I would hope to have thoughtful discussions with other progressives.
Grow up and learn how to talk about issues instead of issuing ad hominem attacks just because you either disagree with someone or (more likely) just can't understand any point of view other than your own.
Gosh, ad hominem is a great term. Incorrectly used in this instance, however. I asked a question in response to a line in the post I was responding to, "These journalists arrogantly assumed they were the only ones who could do this investigation." That certainly implies a belief that these journalists were, for some reason, not the best person to do the job. My question is why the assumption that these two women were not the best?
I asked a question, and in return, you referred to me as a buffoon and an ideological fascist who needs to grow up. Now, who is indulging in ad hominem attacks?
I would think being Asian would make them stick out a little less than Barbara Walters over there.
it has not been proven that the women crossed into NKorea. But it has been proven before that NKorea troops will cross into China.
They might have been in China and were grabbed by NKorea troops and dragged into NKorea across the border.
People using video cameras are sure to be noticed by others.
He didn't say 'i'm glad we got them back, but those young ladies should not have done what they did'. If he had, then maybe, if someone buys your idea of not missing around in dangerous spots, he would be partially right. I don't the paraphrase above was anywhere close to the jest of what he said or meant.
It sounds credible but I heard today they were there via Bush/Cheney to actually get photos of Kim's nuke sites that the satellites have failed to photograph.
It's not important what level they've reached in our society, they could have been a business man or a regular citizen for all I care, the question has to be asked what they were thinking being so close. I can appreciate they're trying to expose a horrible regime, and the toll it takes on the citizens of NK, but at what point do we not call a timeout? When do we ask our citizens to respect the fact that our relationships with several nations is hanging on by a thread, and that our govt. cannot be sent out every time one of us gets in trouble, by our own doing!
I respectfully suggest that I'm not being ignorant. I think perhaps you meant unfeeling, then fine. But ignorance is thinking you can wander the Earth solving every one else's problems. There will always be terrorists out there. There will always be dictators out there. And they will all use any opportunity to cause the US harm, whether by bombs or by kidnappings. I don't know for sure whether these women were kidnapped, or were rounded up behind enemy lines, but they were too close and they should have known better.
I'm grateful they're home. I'm sad progressives are mostly unwilling to have the conversation about how to eliminate these events in the future. As a progressive, I'd like to have that conversation. But okay, for now let's celebrate their safety.
You're right we certainly don't want any independent confirmation of what is happening on the ground in other countries. We should all trust the CIA, DIA, or NSA on these sorts of matters, they're certainly more expert. Why would we doubt what they say? It's not like they have been proven wrong at best, intentionally misleading at worst before, have they?
Sheesh...
I didn't think the reporters themselves had yet released information detailing the where's and how's of their capture. Until that happens, all this is wild speculation.
Oh, and Dick Morris is still an inconsiderate ass 99.99999999999% of the time - he's just
notcompletely wrong on this topic.FIFY
"I'd like to see the State Dept. put American's (sic) on notice to stop screwing around in other countries, especially those that don't like us."
And why does this strike you as important when it's two women who work for a media outlet co-founded by former VP Al Gore, and not ... oh ... say the bulk of our foreign policy in Iraq? Or the disastrous attempt to install Benazir Bhutto as a replacement to Pervez Musharraf because we didn't like him?
"Think about it ... with your brain, not your emotions." Typical troll-fare as well. If you were expecting a rational discussion, you wouldn't even have to use the disclaimer, "Flame away."
I know, nothing like some condescending poster who closes with an insult and then whines in anticipation of a flaming so that they can feel all cozy and justified when they get it, right? I mean, give respect, get respect. Wanna fling poo instead? Fine, but don't whine when someone else tosses it back over the fence and it goes down the back of your shirt. Sheesh!
It's a shame, because it ruined whatever points jbeach was trying to make.
Ignorant fuck. Call me whatever makes you feel better. I've spent the last 4 years trying to get a Democrat elected in my district, so I'm not going to sit back and be lectured by the likes of you. You're clearly someone who thinks that two reporters on their own, uninvited, is somehow the same as reporters invited to Iraq by the US Govt. and military... or whatever the hell you were trying to say before your fingers disconnected from your brain.
How do you feel about the fates of CIA agents caught by regimes that we need info on for some military purpose?
If you would want Clinton to get them, then what makes you feel differently?
That the gov't asked them to do it? That military info is inherently more valuable and worthy of such a risk?
for someone who wants a good discusion of the story, you sure are quick to call other posters "ignorant fuck".
No one called you a name. You need to chill.
We don't cower in the face of the world. These women weren't spies or soldiers, nor were they tourists out for a laugh. They were journalists investigating human trafficking in North Korea.
They risked their lives and their freedom to speak truth to power. In this, they embodied the ideals America SAYS it stands for: truth and freedom.
We owe them more than to blame them or to suggest that others should pull back to our timid shores and hide from villainy.
At at time when what passes for "journalism" is a weak tea of bloviating gas bags who shrink from any hint of real danger with excuses about their hemorrhoids, we should celebrate the fact that we still produce one or two reporters who are willing to put themselves in harm's way to bring us all the truth.
Heroes, both, along with their escorts and comrades. It's the least we can do to work to secure their freedom. They're national treasures.
.
It's time Americans started caring more about their own country.
Can you care about 2 or more things at once? If not, as a kid did you love your mom odd days and dad even?
Weren't they on the Chinese side of the river? So it wasn't like they violated Kim Jong Ilistan's territorial sovereignty.
do journalism wherever it has to be done. This completely escapes Morris and apparently you.
Between Dick Morris, Lou Dobs, and John Bolton and several others, they seem to be really leaping off the cliff. Let them talk. Give them a platform. They sound cold and heartless.
Especially given that EVERYONE except hard, hard righties are very happy about this news.
low life into his loop back in 92.
Like Ronald Reagan!
carrier with a mission accomplished banner with the girls.
Red-Ink Raygun also sent a cake, a Bible and arms to Iran to get US hostages free in Lebanon.
I guess it's OK to negotiate with terrorists, as long as you're a Republican.
...to negotiate with one? I certainly feel like Republicans try to terrorize me and mine.
Dick Morris patronized hookers. He broke the law. He's also obviously a closet queen. But the party of family values is happy to have him on when he says what they want him to.
hookers and tax evasion a common pub pastime.
Along with ripping people off in every form imaginable to humanity.

agreed
They want captured US soldiers shot by the taliban, US journalists arrested and prosecuted, they want to US attacked by terrorists to make their point.These guys are traitors, that's what they are. Fox News has become the open mic for anyone who hates and wants to destroy America, and they can't even deny it. Michael Savage and Coulter will have a hard time trying to catch up to this insanity. Let's see how soon they pull it off.
and dispirited populous Fox is just one tool in the box.
Yeah, most people who think these things are ashamed to say them out loud. I guess dick needs a filter of some kind.
"God, how I hate these people"
Don't be shocked if the freed hostages start getting death threats from right wing nuts-I wouldn't put it past them......
...they'll start by publishing their home addresses and phone numbers. Actually, if they go after these women, there is no "maybe".
sent Morris and Beck. Maybe they would have kept them.
Would DICK say he same thing about the troops? Let them stay there! They made the decision to go! How about the Iranian hostages back in the 70's? Let them stay! They decided to go!
He's just jealous Clinton got them home without getting America bogged down in another expensive international conflict.
The next Fox News people will say, "Are you sure these rescued women are Amerrkuns? They don't look like real Amerrkuns. Do they have birth certificates? Are you sure that Kim Jong Il didn't replace them with look-a-like spies who our now infiltrating our great land?"
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, those women were foolish for going into North Korea.
Even more insane was the fact that they have young children and husbands at home. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?????
I have zero sympathy for the fact that they had to sit and stew for 3 months, nor do I care about the trauma they went through. Lesson learned.
Now...having said that, Dick Morris is INSANE! If that were his loved one over there, he'd be the first to scream and rant for a US official to get the person out.
Serious journalism, sometimes implies serious risk. Not a hard concept to grasp...
Soldiers in Iraq have children, spouses...etc, yet went. Were they INSANE? Do you not have any respect for them?
You, dear poster, are completely full of sh*t. And I have zero sympathy for you.
OMG! They have HUSBANDS! And young CHILDREN!
I mean, shouldn't they be at home COOKING DINNER and DOING THE LAUNDRY?
The only people who can't even consider the trauma Ling and Lee went through are sociopaths.
You sound like a real hard ass (TWT tough while typing).
You all can fuss and scream until you turn blue in the face with your tantrums.
1. Why did they slip into such a dangerous territory? North Korea did not go to them. THEY went to North Korea. It's about personal responsibility. Ever heard of that?
2. I AM happy that Clinton got them out of there
3. I agree that Dick Morris is a fool
Yes, "misogyny", they needed to have their butts home instead of in a Communist country endangering their lives.
It sounds as if the reporters were there by the permission of the Chinese government to cover a border story, on a border not well defined.
Besides rescuing the two girls Clenis might've managed to forestall a greater conflagration between the two Asian countries.

They were journalists, reporters, trying to do a story about human trafficking that might enlighten readers. I think they were brave. Sometimes when you do a job, it takes you away from your family.
We did.
that they just want to see Obama and/or any democrat to fail. They are not interested in making our country greater but make us into a 3rd world country. Low wages for less jobs and no healthcare or shelter for the families of the working lower class.

Hope I'm not posting what's been written. World Nut Daily no less.
(World Net Daily)
JERUSALEM – Palestinian terror groups and security organizations in the Gaza Strip received $2 million from a U.S. source in exchange for the release of Fox News employees Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig, who were kidnapped here last summer, a senior leader of one of the groups suspected of the abductions told WND.
According to Dick Morris and some posters here, our attitude towards those Fox employees in Gaza should be: "Fuck 'em. They should have known better not to report in dangerous areas. Let 'em rot"
Or any reporters, for that matter....so much for getting "real" news.
Just leave it to scumbag conservatives to twist this into something bad. Only primitive knuckle dragging animals would frown upon getting the freedom of 2 people who did nothing wrong back. It's kind of funny how the people who claim they should stay in prison so America can appear strong are also religious nutjobs. Last I checked pride was still one of the seven deadly sins.
The Repug's motto should be simply: I GOT MINE, SCREW YOU! from the GOP.
Oh how I hate these people, maybe we can send Dick Morris to North Korea, no they get enough hot air from their leader.
"I GOT MINE AND YOURS, SCREW YOU (IF YOU EVER DARE TO COME BETWEEN ME AND MY BOTTOM LINE)!"
...who once described the worst of our customers' "requests" like this:
"Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, FUCK YOU".
Wow, does that remind me of the rightiest of the wingnuts.

Empathy is free, don't be afraid of recharging your soul if you are running on empty.
I'm willing to bet that Lennie doesn't have the first effing clue about what happened to these women. My recollection of the story is that they were investigating North Korean folks sneaking into the
"Peoples' Republic" (which people do they mean?) of China, and there is a place where the border is not real obvious because it's in a river bed and the water level changes and the women were on the China side of the river and the PDRK troops grabbed them anyway, asserting that they were on Korean soil. This doesn't sound anything like the "shadow of a doubt" lennie asserts. Perhaps he's wrong.
...too. Something about a grey area between the NK and China border. The arrest was questionable in the first place.
LeftyKook,
Here is what I find interesting. Ms. Ling (sp?) indicated that when she saw Bill Clinton, the "nightmare of her life" had finally come to an end.
I'm happy for her that she is home and that he went and brought her out.
Regarding "nightmares" though, I don't enjoy having them. And therefore, I try my best not to bring nightmares on myself. Watching a creepy movie just before bed might bring on a nightmare so I don't watch them.
AND....slipping into a Communist country might also bring on a nightmare. Soooooooo......I don't go into communist countries, uninvited (or otherwise).
I DO want to be clear that I'm happy the women are home and hope they learned a lesson.
Then you must not be a reporter.
Good thing too.
Keep 'em barefoot and preg, right?
God, you ARE stupid.
I hope one day you have to learn a "lesson" too, and no one is there to change your awfully full Pampers.
Dick Morris thinks we're better off with Americans in a North Korean prison than here at home.
Why does he hate America?
Maybe we should have let John McCain sit in Hotel Hanoi to pay the consequences for going to war and crashing his plane....STFU DICK
the two women never made any decision to go to north korea dick, you ignorant twit, they were abducted and kidnapped by north korean soldiers who had crossed the border into china and were spirited back across the border into north korea
dick needs to go to n korea's prison
so he can teach the other inmates
how to dance to michael jackson's
killer music.
Just like old times. Maybe then you won't be so ornery.
is this guy an idiot?
Yes.
...and what a telling name THAT is...is a mealy-mouthed hypocrite who has played both sides of the political aisle for years. Whoever in this string of comments said he should be put into a room with the families of these two women was spot on. Let him spout his "f... 'em, feed 'em beans" attitude then.
Pyongyang, and leave him there, period.
I was so relieved to see that our girls are home now. I watch Vanguard, so I admire and respect the work they do. Yes, they take a risk everytime they go to a danger zone to bring us a story, but that *does not mean they deserved this captivity!*
And another thing, anyone in here lacking empathy for Ling and Lee, and are actually bitching about their being rescued, I would hope that if something were to happen to you, that someone would intervene on your behalf, no matter what what you may have done or not done to put yourself in that situation, and regardless of what karma may have in store for you!
Screw Morris, this worthless piece of flesh, this miserable excuse for a human being.
I wonder what he thinks about that U.S. soldier who has been captured by the Taliban? Does he think the same way that that idiot Ralph Peters does by wanting PFc Bergdahl to be executed by the Taliban?
What a complete and utter a'hole Morris is.
... Republicanism is a mental disease, and one of the symptoms is SOCIOPATHY. Sociopaths don't give a toot about anyone else.
God, what a frgn' turd this guy is.
A "propaganda victory???" Tell me, a'hole dickhead morris, who in the world thinks Kim Jong Il came out victorious in this, other than himself? He's a maniacal, mentally insane, dangerous man, which is much better than I can say about you. No one; absolutely no country in this world thinks Kim Jong Il has won in this situation, except for other crazies who thought that anyway.
This frgn' moron....oh, I just can't say any more, he is such an idiot. He hates Clinton, we know that; he hates Obama, and we also know that; and he hates Gore; so it's the trifecta of hate coming from this putrid scum.
going to Kim Jong Il, Clinton proves he is the better, bigger man. Kim may think he has saved face, but the rest of the diplomatic world is not fooled. We come out looking good in all sorts of ways, not to mention more adult after eight years of the incompetent Mayberry Mafia and their childish machinations.
The right wing orchestrated attack to belittle the rescue of the two journalists fits perfectly into their scheme of things. First it allows them to exercise their anti-women philosophy and since the journalists are not only women but women of oriental extraction this further allows them to sing their well established racist song. As for Morris and for that matter John Bolten, these two assholes are always looking for work by making outlandish statements in the hope that it will lead to a paycheck. Bolten is a talentless Karl Rove creation who can never catch on and won't because he has nothing (very similar to Rove) to offer. Morris really missed his calling as a low end pimp. Unlike Bolten, Morris has something to fall back on as a low end pimp either in Times Square or on the streets of Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico.
At least we didn't trade weapons for hostages like Reagan (CIA to be exact) administration did.
The Iran-Contra affair (Persian: ماجرای مکفارلین, Spanish: caso Irán-contras) was a political scandal in the United States which came to light in November 1986, during the Reagan administration, in which senior US figures agreed to facilitate the sale of arms to Iran, the subject of an arms embargo, to secure the release of hostages and to fund Nicaraguan contras. - Sourced from Wikipedia
This toad should be laughed off the airwaves anytime he has the temerity to open his herpes infected mouth.
I want to be outraged over this little man, but I just don't think he's that important.
Could y'all imagine boosh trying to say Pyongyang?
It probably come out sounding like Poontang.
Just thinking about what would happen if the chimp was in office right now is big enough of a nightmare without dragging his weak grasp of language into it too... :S
