    During the Bush administration, Kim Jong Il didn't negotiate with George W Bush or any of the administration's people in the state department or diplomatic corps. He met and negotiated with Bill Richardson, governor of New Mexico, former head of the DOE and former ambassador to the United Nations. Li'l Kim didn't give a fuck who was president, he wanted to talk to the adult in the room.

Awesome. TIL.
