Clinton Returns Home With Journalists, Clinton (The Other One) Sees Chance For Talks
Bill Clinton and the two journalists he rescued from North Korea have returned safely to the United States (adorable photo here). "I am very happy that after this long ordeal, Laura Ling and Euna Lee are now home and reunited with their loved ones," said the former President in a three-line statement that shows how much the world has changed since he held office; ten years ago it would have been a small novel. In any event, as news emerges that the North Koreans specifically requested a visit from the former President as part of the release deal, his wife, who happens to be Secretary of State, told Andrea Mitchell that the whole "private humanitarian mission" may offer a new opportunity for dialogue with North Korea. Mitchell actually did ask Clinton if we could send Bill to Iran to rescue the Americans captured there yesterday, because, I guess, let's just send him everywhere now. Anyway, the Secretary had some helpful advice: Stay away from hostile countries. Because Bill's got a pretty busy schedule, and he can't spend all his time negotiating for your hostage ass.
I'm kinda' starting to feel like I'm part of this big dysfunctional family where Mom calls and is like, "You know what your father went and did now?!" And you;re all "But mom, isn't that a good thing? They needed help." And she's all "Yes, but he always does this! He always undermines me. He's an underminer." And you're all feeling bad for your mom but she's such a harpy. And sure you're dad's a scuzz but underneath it all has a good heart. And you just want to move somewhere where they can't bug you with the battle of their lives anymore?
Bill delivers, which is more than you can say for the press – or what ever you guys call yourselves these days
Is there a problem with the audio? I heard "He was so relieved and so happy to be bringing these young women home" and then the rest of it was drowned out by subtext.
I can't believe she let Bill get that close to Bangkok with out her.
Oh hey, Hillary. can you also explain why your husband ran over to save 2 american journos while the state dept. has pressured japan to NOT try to get back its numerous citizens held by NK because such engagement might embolden Kim and threaten talks?! You suck (and by "you" I mean "we.")
