"Diplomat" Dennis Rodman Ushers in World Peace!

Spread the news: harmony with North Korea is brewing, all thanks to former National Basketball League star and colorful character Dennis Rodman!

Rodman, having made two "highly successful" diplomatic missions to North Korea in which he has been warmly received by dictator Kim Jong Un, will return to the country with NBA pals to finish the job of bringing the rebel nation into the fold of the civilized world.

Rodman will tell us all of the good things that are going on in North Korea, enabling us to forget about the development of nuclear weapons, the regular threats against its neighbors and other countries which comprise the civilized world, concentration camps that enslave hundreds of thousands of innocent people, the squalor and backward conditions in which most of the peasants live, and the fear that they endure on a daily basis that they be singled out for government scrutiny and persecution.

Give the North Korean leader credit.  He knows a useful idiot and a stooge when he sees one, and Rodman plays the part perfectly.  Un knows how to capitalize on Rodman's celebrity notwithstanding the fact that it emanates from his one-man freak show.

Perhaps if Neville Chamberlain had tattoos, piercings, multi-colored hair, used profanity, and had spoken in gibberish like Rodman, he would have charmed Adolf Hitler and peace would truly have been at hand with the Nazis!

Perhaps Kim Jong Un will offer pal Dennis a shanty of his own.  Surely living in close proximity to his pal, the grand high exalted leader of North Korea, would offer great gratification.

In viewing the Rodman news conference upon his most recent return from North Korea, I would ask, "Who said television no longer offers entertainment"?
