Though looking thinner and grayer, and limping slightly, Kim's appearance at the closely watched first session of the North's new parliament Thursday was more than enough to lay to rest any lingering doubts about his health, and prove he is in charge.
"Was more than enough to lay to rest any lingering doubts about his health".
Oh, really?
I don't have any lingering doubts. He'll be jibbering and soiling himself real soon.
