stay in north korea? hell no.


Shortly after news broke that Bill Clinton had secured the release of Euna Lee and Laura Ling from North Korean imprisonment, I was chatting with Oliver, who wondered how the right would try spin it. We didn't have to wait very long: Fox's Morris: Freed hostages "maybe" should have stayed in N. Korea and "live[d] with the consequences."

Criticizing Bill Clinton's trip to North Korea, Fox News political contributor Dick Morris said of the two freed journalists: "I feel badly for the two journalists, but what were they doing in North Korea in the first place?" Uh, they're journalists. Where the hell has this guy been?

Morris later responded to a question about "how were we supposed to get them home" by stating: "Maybe they don't come home. Maybe they go to North Korea and they live with the consequences of their decision to go there." Except that they didn't decide to go there, you heartless moron. They were detained at the border. Dick. The guy is talking out of his ass.
