Not particularly surprising that he's still a giant douche.

Honestly, I wouldn't expect any more or less from him.

essentially aid or entertain Kim Jong Un. I think we're still technically at war (no treaty), and North Korea still has one of our ships, and they threaten us militarily pretty much every month or so. For those reasons, this can't even be compared to entertainers going to South Africa. It's worse.

A clueless fool, perhaps a few fries short of a happy meal. Perhaps he should just stay there permanently and bask in the paradise provided by "Dear Leader".

My guess is that Rodman is a Narcissist, he wants to be "the guy" who turns this N. Korea thing around, but he doesn't get why the rest of us look at that with either a a or a

Rodman appears (to me) to be high on something, which is certainly a great part of his history. If the media would quit giving him air time, he'd just go away. He's been a blowhard since the time he was with the Spurs!

He's a has been that simply won't shut up.

the first step in breaking down walls. It happened with China, it happened with the USSR. Ronnie didn't bring down the Berlin Wall -- Elton John, Paul McCartney, and McDonalds, did.

Rodman and basketball may be the ones who do it for NK. Good on him.

What's cultural about Rodman? Or Kim "bat shit crazy" Un?
The Norks are using Rodman and the sad thing is, he's too fucking stupid to see that.

Better watch Dennis, you could be next.

I see a pattern of a homicidal maniac here.

but he's definitely a nut. Who (besides him) actually would want to hang out in North Korea, around a dictator who is notorious for ordering the executions of people for bizarre reasons?
