Kimmie visits Hu
2006-01-10
North Korean leader Kim Jong Il has traveled to China on a rare trip outside his country, a South Korean military intelligence official said Tuesday. The official told The Associated Press he received the information from intelligence inside China. The official spoke on condition his name not be used because of the sensitivity of the information. ``We confirmed he went to China,'' the official said. ``We don't know why.''
My guess would be the hookers...
Kim, who seldom travels abroad, last visited China in April 2004 for a two-on-one with the Twins of Pleasure summit with Chinese leaders. North Korea and China, both communist countries, have traditionally had close ties. Chinese President Hu Jintao visited North Korea in October.
Hu's on first?
Hua's on second?
No Won's on second. Hua's on third.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported earlier in a dispatch out of Beijing that the reclusive North Korean leader's train had crossed the border into northeastern China amid tight security. The agency did not say where it got its information.
Golly. Shucks. I hope nothing explodes when he comes back.
The visit comes at a sensitive time for North Korea, which remains at odds with the United States over stalled international talks aimed at getting Pyongyang to abandon its nuclear weapons program.
I still think it's the hookers...

#3  "Abbott, wait a second - Kimmie visited who?"
"Exactly."
"Abbott, I'm asking you, who was the guy Kimmie visited??"
"Of course!!"
"Let me try this one more time - what was the name of the guy Kimmie visited??"
"No, What's on second!"
"I don't know!"
(TOGETHER)"THIRD BASE!!"

With apologies to Bud and Lou,
Mike

#2  Maybe they can have another "Welcome Home" party on the tracks - hopefully better timed.

#1  North Korea threatens the region, ergo is why Chinese fighters, not NorKorean, are the ones that keep trying to penetrate Japan, thus de facto proving that North Korea, NOT China, is the de facto, MSM-verified, sole??? threat.
