The Arirang festival was to run from August 15 through mid-October in Pyongyang, with about 100,000 people in the communist state mobilized for a mass gymnastics show. But North Korea has postponed the annual event, said Leonid A. Petrov, executive director of L and J Development and Consultancy.
You know, if a circus has a dancing bear or a performing elephant, PETA activists concerned about how those animals are taught to perform rise up in outrage.
But coerce and train 100,000 people to perform like circus animals for the Pillsbury Nuke Boy, and progressives who trash America will treasure their trip to North Korea to see the horror-fest. And I will say that I expected little from Daniel Schorr, but his report was rather good. Kudos to him.
I wonder what these gulag tourists would say if Karl Rove arranged a 100,000-strong pageant to the President?
People should be far more concerned about the ethical treatment of North Koreans. But how can Leftists possibly work that in to hurting President Bush?
