Counterpoint: Kim Jong-Il

Captain Ed, among Twin Cities' bloggers, is famously well-connected; dining at Michelle Malkin's, partying with George Will, on John "J-Po" Podhoretz' speed dialer - Ed is a guy on the go.

So today's scoop - landing John McCain as a guest writer - is not in the least out of place. The whole thing is worth a bracing read.

But for once, I can top Ed. That's right - an exclusive rebuttal from Kim Jong-Il, dictator of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, responding to Senator McCain's points, who sent me this post earlier today:

Annyeonghaseyo.

Igeoshimweoyeyo? Hwajangshil eodiseyo. Mweoyeyo? Chamkkan kidariseyo chigeum annyonghi kyeseyo ach'im bul cheo ba kang!

Kamsahamnida cheong bok manna boeeo ban gapseumnida. Ichoo sea yo. Bush? Dol dae ga ri. Shibbal nom. Ma Kaine? Go-ja. Shibal nom, Geseki! Um chang se kki! Um chang se kki! "Framework?" Jokkah ji mah! Ko jo ra.

Kon Di Rice? Comiday su su!

Bae go pai yo. Jee guru jer it a ra.

Annyeonghi kyesey.

For the benefit of the overly-tightly-wound, the above is not really Kim Jong-Il.

Yet.
