North Korea grooming leader's son as successor
North Korea has launched a campaign to promote the 21-year-old son of leader Kim Jong Il as his successor.
That would be the Baby Leader? Lessee, here. We had the Great Leader — he's now the Decomposing Leader. Now we have the Dear Leader. Next should probably be... ummm... Fearless Leader?
"Boris! You don' t'ink..."
"Yes, Natasha! Moose and squirrel have stolen national kimchee!"
Kim Jong Il turns 61 on Sunday and there is no suggestion that he will step down soon or is in poor health. The Kyodo news agency said a classified North Korean military document reverentially referred to Kim's current wife Ko Yong Hee as "mother" and "loyal subject." The North started a similar campaign in the mid-1970s to idolize Kim Jong Il's mother when he was earmarked to succeed his father, Kim Il Sung, the founder of the reclusive communist state as hereditary monarch. Little is known about Kim Jong Il and Ko Yong Hee's son, Kim Jong Chul. A South Korean newspaper reported he had studied in France.
That's appropriate...
Kim Jong Il is believed to have three children: Kim Jong Chul; Kim Sul Song, a daughter born in 1974; and Kim Jong Nam, a son born in 1971. The children all have different mothers.
Yeah, but it was all the same harem...
