Former President Jimmy Carter has sent North Korea a message of condolence over the death of Kim Jong-il and wished "every success" to the man expected to take over as dictator, according to the communist country's state-run news agency.
"In the message Jimmy Carter extended condolences to Kim Jong Un and the Korean people over the demise of leader Kim Jong Il. He wished Kim Jong Un every success as he assumes his new responsibility of leadership, looking forward to another visit to [North Korea] in the future," the KCNA dispatch read.
It must be that Mr. Carter admires Dear Leader’s success in starving his own people, arming terrorists, murdering his opposition and his incredible skills in golf, opera composing, fashion trend setting and most impressively, an ability to put away copious amounts of Hennessey cognac at $630 a bottle that made him the company’s No. 1 customer, worldwide, over the past decade.
