Well, at least one Clinton can get things done diplomacy wise

Hats off to President Bill Clinton for obtaining the release of the two jailed American journalists from North Korea.
No word yet on if either of the ladies will have to give him a 'Lewinsky' to show him their gratitude.

Seriously though, it's nice to have a former President who has credibility in the world who can get stuff like this done. Bush would have plunged us into war if he'd been the envoy instead of Clinton.

Maybe the three of them can stop in Argentina on the way home, and go hike the Appalachian Trail together.

Good on Bill!
Left his ego at the door, looked like he totally went along with the serious & formal culture of 'psycho leader', apparently apologized for the two journalists' behaviour...and used the opportunity that Kim Jong Il had always wanted to meet Bill...to obtain their release.
Well done Bill...still one of the most respected U.S. politicians around the world.

I don't know as how I could say no to Bill, if he asked me nicely...

We were kidding around about this at work. He asked them to play a round of "President and the intern" with him. Or that the way he got the Korean dictator to release the girls was to threaten to give the dictator's daughter a job as intern.

A local deejay said that Clinton's new incarnation was as "the most interesting man in the world," from the beer commercials, saying "Stay thirsty, my friends" in a Bill Clinton voice.
