Consort's death rocks Kim Jong-il
Michael Sheridan, Beijing
November 15, 2004

HARDLINERS have tightened their political grip on North Korea while Kim Jong-il, the Stalinist state's dictator, has retreated into virtual seclusion after the death of his favourite consort from cancer.

Chinese and Western sources say the regime has prepared for a state of siege as it confronts a re-elected US administration under George W. Bush that is determined to break Pyongyang and disarm it of nuclear weapons.

As Japanese envoys tried to persuade the North Koreans last week to rejoin multinational talks, Mr Kim's absence from the scene led to speculation a debilitating power struggle might have paralysed the ruling group.

This followed the death of Koh Young-hee, a dancer who had provided Mr Kim with an heir-apparent to the world's only communist dynasty.

"The loss of this woman was a blow," said a foreign diplomat.

"But (US Democratic candidate) John Kerry's loss in the US election was a harder one. These are now very worried men."

WAIT: WHAT WAS THAT?

"The loss of this woman was a blow," said a foreign diplomat.

"But (US Democratic candidate) John Kerry's loss in the US election was a harder one. These are now very worried men."

Think I'll repeat it one more time.

I love how conservatives think they can figure out exactly who nutjobs like Kim Jong-Il and Osama bin-Laden wanted to win the election.

It's Kim Jong-Il's musical number in Team America

There's a clip of him singing that song on the official website.

No, I want to emphasize some of the cruellest despots in the world were rooting for John Kerry, and are heartbroken that he lost.

I have no time for puppet movies. Judging by the shitty box office that bomb did, not many other people do either.

don't worry stock. other tyrants like putin and aliyev (of azerbaijan) cheered when kerry lost. i'm sure even the saud family let out a sigh of relief. so, we still get to play in the abusers club for another four years after all. maybe by then, the UN will even let us chair the human rights commission.

I'll see your psychotic genocidal dictator, and raise you one: SudanTribune: Sudan prayed for Bush victory.

Care to talk numbers?

Sudan's government was praying for the re-election of U.S. President George. W. Bush and the return of his Republican administration, dreading the idea of having to deal again with the Democrats.

It's weird that Koh Young-hee's name in Google yields half sites that call her his wife and half that call her his mistress. It makes me wonder who is spinning.
