Kim Jong ll died on Saturday at age 69 from apparent heart failure. And although many Americans associate him with villainy and the Axis of Evil (through efforts by both George W. Bush and Team America), he was beloved by many in his country as their “Dear Leader.” He also reportedly spread the myth that he could control the weather with his moods.

It’s somewhat understandable, then, that there would be grieving over the Supreme Leader. One of those affected was a North Korean newscaster, who fought back tears as she detailed his death. Watch the clip of her sobbing between words below, courtesy of the Associated Press:

Touching, but I was somewhat less moved.

I see a similar scen in the future, when you guys (over seas) have made Gingrich president, and he dies after 50 years as a leader of US.

I do like the background.

Robert has always been emotional, though.

In his musical career playing third jug in the Austin Philharmonic Orchestra, he always tears up when they do their tribute to Patsy Cline.

At least they love their leader (even with his problems). In America Bush and BO are despised.

That’s not surprising. He was more a cult figure than Obama. Some opthamologist went to NK to fix the eyesight of some people there. So, what’d they do? They went to a picture of Kim Jong-Il(Maybe it was his dad?), bowed and prayed, thanking him for their eyesight. The doctors who did it? Nothing. But EVERYTHING for their leader.

I must say I LOLd. Then I started thinking about how this place is basically a slave state, felt depressed for humanity and then ate a few pancakes.

We don’t have a Philharmonic in Austin. It’s simply the Austin Symphony.

Careful. I play the No. 3 washtub in that band.

And you shine in the solo section of “Pie Jesu”.

When your band changed names, did you get new t-shirts?

Do you guys play this stuff? (video features next Mrs. Donahue)

It’s kinda crazy how the newscaster sounds exactly the same emotionally as the Korean ladies at my church when they pray out loud. They really do believe he is God.

State owned 4th Estate can talk people into believing anything. All dictators use the PRESS TO sell their ideas, and is potent enuf to convince people that POOP IS really good for you. It is incredulous, what people will swallow, they think their lives depend on it or that they would have to move out of their comfort zone. I believe in GOD, and hope that IL meets his JUST PUNISHMENT, or EVIL from which he came and to which he returns. IL is one of the reasons, I do not want to believe in re incarnation. Imagine that PUKE coming back! On second thought, IL was just one of Lucifer’s minions who prowled about the world seeking the ruin of souls. So, his damnation is a return home for the loyal cretan.

Kim Jong was the ‘Rush Limbaugh’ of North Korea, a champion of propaganda and mindless thought control.

They don’t have a choice.

Everyone who works for NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, NYT, WaPo, Time, Newsweak, etc., etc., would mourn even worse if Obama gets thrown out of the White House in 2012.

Everyone knows it too.
