[POed_Ex_Repub]

WASHINGTON - A South Korean embassy official who met with John Kerry (news - web sites) fund-raisers to talk about creating a political group for Korean-Americans was in fact a spy for his country, raising concerns among U.S. officials that he or Seoul may have tried to influence the fall presidential election.

South Korean and U.S. officials told The Associated Press that Chung Byung-Man, a consular officer in Los Angeles, worked for South Korea (news - web sites)'s National Intelligence Service at the time he was meeting with Kerry fund-raisers.

5. And Chalabi Made Love to Laura While George Ate Pretzels

Talk about your spy scandal, but oh, I forgot that's different.

6. Story is from spring. Nothing there.

Freepers are the only ones who want to pretend there is more to it. They always manage to overlook the fact that RevMoon, their GOP sugardaddy, fuckin' gifted NORTH Korea with submarines and manipulates most of our North and South Korea policy.

Moon and Poppy Bush go back over 40 years with their intel connection. And HOW many billions has Moon gifted the GOP by now with their constant promotion of their agenda in the Washington Times over the last 24 years? Bush was kind enough to assure Moon now controls almost HALF this nation's fishing industry.

Has the AP looked into THAT?

7. It's a pretty feeble "scandal"

If the Repukes have to rely on this to save Shrub, they're toast.
That being said, can we PUH-LEEZE not have a 100-post round of hand-wringing and wailing over this. It is not a big deal.

8. The bushes can't get far enough up Rev. Moon's ass

But they try to sheep dip Kerry.
