Getting there, maybe
Some mediasatan hit Gary Johnson with another pointless name question:
When The New York Times asked Johnson if he knew the name of North Korea’s leader, he answered simply, “I do.” But when the Times pressed him to produce a name, Johnson reportedly said, dryly, “You want me to name ... Really.” Johnson didn’t name the North Korean leader, the Times article suggested. (The dictator’s name, by the way, is Kim Jong-un.)Now Johnson has finally picked up the correct answer, sort of:
“Because Hillary Clinton can dot the I’s and cross the T’s on geographic leaders, of the names of foreign leaders ... the underlying fact that hundreds of thousands of people have died in Syria goes wayside,” Johnson told the Times. He added that Clinton is partly responsible for what’s happened in Syria.Indirect and overly polite, but somewhere along the proper street if not the proper address. BUT: as in my dream of reproach, our high-status monstroids can't even get their accusations right. We're so totally fucked that we can't even have high-quality evil. Huffpo author wrote, flatly and snarkily: (The dictator’s name, by the way, is Kim Jong-un.) Nope. The dictator's name, in the standard transliteration, is Kim Jeong-eun. Not the same vowels. Error in the same category as spelling Johnson 'Jinsern' or writing 'Heffington Pist'. ¶ 12:45 AM
