In Case He's Just Vewy, Vewy Quiet

From our State Department, naturally, comes this assessment of Kim Jong-Il (tip to Weekly Standard):

Wendy Sherman, now the No. 3 official in the State Department, who served as counselor to Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright and accompanied her to North Korea, said in 2008: “He was smart, engaged, knowledgeable, self-confident, sort of the master-director of all he surveyed.”

It's like killing, starving, and brutalizing tens of millions of people doesn't count if he can mingle in a dinner party.

Note to State Department: Kim Jong-Il is dead. You can stop sucking up to him any time, now.

UPDATE: Of bloody course he did.
