1. Too much kimchee

Geez, what's he still doing poking his big old nose around .... in Korea, no less....

Don't these old neocons ever just, like RETIRE, and go play golf or something?

[formercia]

26. That was my first thought.

Force-feeding it would be better.

[roguevalley]

29. there's an alien a fixin' to burst out any minute now.

[buff2]

2. ain't he dead yet?

damn,these right wingers live forever while the good people are dropping off like flies. :argh:

[smirkymonkey]

32. Well, he is at a place called "Severance Hospital" so there is

still some hope left.

[unhappycamper]

3. Mr. Peace Prize has a sore tummy?

Fuck 'em.

[marasinghe]

4. one can only hope that 'severance hospital' lives up to the promise of its name

and this arrogant psychopath finds a well-earned reward in whatever dimension it might await him.

[Yeahyeah]

5. Get hell soon.

Oh,sorry.Typo.

[awoke_in_2003]

12. Thank you for the chuckle

and welcome :hi:

[Spazito]

23. LOL!

Very good!

[Javaman]

31. Yeah, whoops!

:rofl:

[olegramps]

6. Personally, He makes me sick to my stomach. n/t

7. pretty nice hospital. studied near there. familiar w/ its campus. next to Shinchon party dist.

that region is in the history books being so important to the life and times of modern Korea (S. Korea). had some of the most epic student protests ever mere yards away. unfortunately the protests i saw there (there's a protest "season" roughly around Spring and Fall) were mere shadows of their former 1980s glory.

the funerary wing of the hospital was immense and quite well designed/staffed.

8. I didn't get to wish Henry "Bon Voyage"

so I'll make up for it now. "Give the evil his due, Henry!"

[scarletwoman]

9. He must have accidentally drunk the blood of a non-virgin.

Fucking evil old vampire. Can't even put a wooden stake through his heart because he doesn't have a heart.

[choie]

10. I thought he couldn't visit to another country

for fear that he could be arrested for war crimes? Anybody want to go over to South Korea and perform a citizen's arrest?

[lunatica]

11. I hope they let us know when he finally farts it out

I await with bated breath.

[bongbong]

13. Why he's so old

Both God and satan don't want this guy. Too evil for either of them.

[troubledamerican]

14. Mass-murderer

Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, East Timor, Chile, Argentina, Operation Condor

[stevedeshazer]

15. Karma.

This demonstrates a modicum of justice in this life.

In an alternate universe, he'd be a war criminal.

[earcandle]

16. Isn't he a war criminal not allowed to leave our country for fear of being arrested? Is it time to

arrest him in Seoul?  We must punish war criminals to keep
fresh ones alerted to the consequences of their crimes! 

[ColesCountyDem]

17. *cue theme music from 'Aliens'* n/t

[Warren Stupidity]

18. War criminal Kissinger still at large, hospitalized, not arrested.

That is what the headline ought to read.

[htuttle]

19. Probably ate an undercooked Cambodian before he went to bed

He should cut out those midnight snacks...

[liberation]

20. Damn... so that voodoo doll I just got does really work...

All kidding aside, what frightens me is the fact that neocons considered Kissinger as being too "moderate." Think about that for a second, and weep. We went from having a mass murderer in the 70s, to having a band of roving neocons in charge for the first decade of the XXI century... who consider said mass murderer as being "too moderate."

[Submariner]

21. Good...thanks for Nam you piece of excrement

and f'ing up the lives of millions of us back in the day. I hope it hurts.

[madmax]

22. Does he have health insurance?

He's self employed, right?

Wonder if his coverage which he had as Secretary of State is still in force? Don't those who serve in Congress, no matter the duration get to keep their health insurance for life?

Fuck him, who cares.

[liberation]

24. He's a retired public official, I am sure he has had a nice public pension and health plan...

... for the better part of at least 3 decades.


We pay our taxes in order to pay for the salaries of public officials who get to deny us access to the same lever of health care as they have. In the same sense, that we pay insurance policies for the privilege of being denied coverage when needed.


The American public must be among some of the dumbest collections of people in recent history. They are not just accepting, but in many cases they are proactively fighting to defend systems/approaches which are in complete opposition to their own personal interests. It is fascinating from a psychological point of view regarding control of masses.

[rhett o rick]

25. Dont be surprised if an alien comes out. nt

[proud2BlibKansan]

27. Keep him there!!

Citizen's Arrest Mr Kissinger!!

[smirkymonkey]

33. Better yet - Send him to North Korea.

I'm sure a few days in one of their prison camps would give him a little taste of his own medicine.

[FarLeftRage]

28. That ol' fucker still around...

it should at least suffer the fate of one of it's many victims... worthless POS!!

[joe black]

30. Fuck this asshole.

One of his plans to save the world was to unleash a virus that would kill half the population of the world.

[Flaneur]

34. Trouble digesting all those human skulls?
