ON AMERICAN LEADERS APPLAUD KIM JONG UN ELECTION YESTERDAY

The Associated Press has reported this morning that Kim Jong Un has been elected a member of the Supreme People's Assembly of the Democratic Republic of Korea. Running in his first public election in North Korea since being named Supreme Leader by his father, Mr. Kim is now a member of the highest legislative branch of his country's democratically-elected government.

The Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces won the election with 100% of the votes in his district, according to The Telegraph.  The U.K. daily newspaper also noted that his district honored the Chairman of the National Defence Commission with 100% voter turnout as well.

"This is an expression of all the service personnel and people's absolute support and profound trust in supreme leader Kim Jong Un as they single-mindedly remain loyal to him," according to the Korean Central News Agency.

In a message to the new member of North Korea's legislature, Speaker of the House John Boehner said, "I am always happy when a legislature is filled with only one party and leads with one voice."  He went on to tell the young leader that he should, "be glad he does not have the disrupting influence of Democrats or Tea Party members in his People's Assembly."

Bill O'Reilly, of the FOX News Channel's The O'Reilly Factor, congratulated the new legislator by calling him a strong leader, "unlike the wimpy President of the United States who wears 'mom' jeans."

John McCain, in words presented by his spokesman, said he was, "happy to hear the people of North Korea have chosen such a non-feckless new member for their legislature." "I wish we had such a strong presence in the world," McCain's spokesman added.

Sarah Palin reminded everyone that she can see North Korea from her back porch, right next to Russia. When asked by The Nome News and Grizzly Bear Weekly about whether she was surprised by the election results just announced, the former Vice Presidential candidate said, "Of course not, I predicted this when the Supreme Leader was born."

John Kerry, in a rather un-statesmanlike response to the election announcement, said, "like his Uncle Jang the North Korean leader is corrupt, uses drugs, gambles, and, overall, leads a dissolute and depraved life and is worse than a dog."  Mr. Kerry made the comments while flying to god knows where from god knows where.
