Ball point pen on the morning newsprint
Former President Clinton offered Kim Jong-il what every megalomaniac wants - the world stage. In exchange Clinton was able to secure the release and pardons for the two American journalists, Laura Ling and Euna Lee, being held by the rouge nation.

Hearing this news really made me happy. I'm glad that Clinton was able to negotiate their release. Maybe this will be a good example for others opposed to even talking to leaders such as Kim Jong-il. As always, great likeness.
Hi Alex, thanks for commenting The reunion today between Euna Lee and her precious daughter was very touching. But I'm skeptical that Kim Jong-il will have an epiphany in the twilight of his life.
My Republican relatives think I'm crazy, but I've always liked Bill Clinton. When he came to my city in February, 2008 to campaign for Hillary, I jumped at the opportunity to see Bill live, and he did not disappoint. He was even more fabulous in person! After this wonderful news, I feel vindicated for being a Clinton fan. However, I share your skepticism about Kim Jong-il. If anything could stump Clinton, it's North Korea. That country has long been a nightmare! I look forward to seeing your sketches every day. You always have such great likenesses. Keep up the good work!
Hi Gail, Thanks for the kind words.
