Jailed Journalist Pardoned


Former President Clinton (my 2nd FAVE president) traveled to North Korea and met with top officials to appeal the for the release of Laura Ling and Euna Lee. The two journalist were arrested in March and sentenced to 12 years hard labor. They ain't playing over in Korea y'all. North Korean leader Kim Jong issued a "special pardon" for both Euna and Laura. "State media said Clinton apologized on behalf of the women and relayed President Barack Obama's gratitude. The report said the visit would "contribute to deepening the understanding" between North Korea and the U.S." Both ladies have been released, but while Clinton has returned to the U.S. it is not clear if Laura and Euna were on the flight with him (hmph, I bet he wouldn't have left me). Good deal and welcome home to both ladies. They betta get President Obama a bomb a$$ birthday gift. I'm just saying....
