Wow. Just wow. Dennis Rodman needs to read “Escape from Camp 14: One Man’s Remarkable Odyssey from North Korea to Freedom in the West.”

Mominminnesota on March 3, 2013 at 12:52 pm

Well, the illustrious N.Y. Philharmonic, trying to extend their harmonies to politics, has been joined by Dennis Rodman. Really the company the N.Y.P. deserves, given the PC decline of symphony orchestras.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Rodman is, indeed getting paid by the North Koreans. But I guess the Dems don’t consider him one of the evil rich, so they probably won’t investigate.

And the North Koreans may believe that the best way of reaching the current administration is with someone like Rodman. When you really think about it, are he and Sandra Fluke so far apart?

Little Al on March 3, 2013 at 1:32 pm

N. Korea is a rough place. Frankly, I’m surprised that they didn’t cook Rodman up and then eat him.

Escape from camp 14. I have heard the story of Shin Dong Hyuk. That book is deeply deeply disturbing, more so because it’s a true corroborated story.

moe-dearbornistan on March 3, 2013 at 2:01 pm

After all we have learned in the past century, people still don’t get that Communism is evil.

The reason why morons embrace is perhaps because its ideology sounds idealistic whereas the explicit racism of Nazism always stank.

Then again in the West Hitler is evil incarnate while Communist mass murderers are mostly dead and forgotten.

What’s next for Dennis Rodman – he’s gonna pimp for the Muslim Brotherhood? There’s not that much daylight between the North Korea’s family butcher and Islamic terrorist regimes.

NormanF on March 3, 2013 at 2:05 pm

I think Dennis Rodman is pretty dim. The exposure he has received for his genocidal regime tour has not been very positive, even in liberal circles. It is likely that Dennis Rodman was paid for his appearance by the North Korean government. Kim’s circle probably did not fathom that Dennis Rodman is now just a has been freak, and has no clout whatsoever. In turn, Dennis Rodman is now officially an international buffoon. I wonder when he will be visiting Robert Mugabe.

Worry01 on March 3, 2013 at 2:14 pm

C’mon. Look at him. Rodman just barely, by the thinnest of margins, makes the cutoff for ‘human being’. He’s a freak with money and little else.

Matt on March 3, 2013 at 2:58 pm

I’m sure none of this was propaganda. Isn’t this the guy that keeps setting off nuclear bombs and brags about using them on the USA? Isn’t this the guy that routinely starves his own people? Didn’t he just announce the creation of a “hate America” theme park with the USS Pueblo as the center piece? Doesn’t Rodman find it strange that there are no basketball teams in NK? Especially since the great leader and his people love it so much. Who says you have to be black and/or American to play basketball. How many millions does he think he would have shoved up his ass if he were born in NK? Maybe he should defect to NK and find out. I’d like to know the answer to that myself.

jerry doegen on March 3, 2013 at 3:14 pm

Dennis Rodman is a rent a schmuck, well I knew that already by looking at his stupid suit.
Of course Kim Jong-Un’s first priority is peace – that’s why he’s developing a Nuclear weapons program. Duh?
Makes sense to a celebrity moron like Dennis anyway.

All Hitler really wanted was peace too or so a lot of “smart” Europeans thought and when he finally got control Germany he showed a lot them how to RIP.

Dennis would make a good guard in one of Kim’s camps, he could be part of the basketball training team because you know Kim digs brothers that jump, and you know Dennis used to get paid to do that really high.

Dictators everywhere rejoice, the dawn of the age of stupid is nearly at hand and there is nothing to stand in your way anymore.

Trump is joined at the hip with celebrity moron culture so what do you expect?

Frankz on March 3, 2013 at 4:31 pm

Dennis has brain damage from years of alcohol and substance abuse. Again..his brain is damaged from years of abuse. I was at a breakfast place in Newport Beach awhile back and I saw him knock-back six Bloody Marys in less than an hour. He may have been a charismatic character in his playing days, but from what I have seen, he is a pathetic drunk. I wouldn’t let him light my cigar….sad

#1 Vato on March 3, 2013 at 5:10 pm

I have had the dubious pleasure of seeing Dennis Rodman in the Miami area… The plates on his Hummer (the one with decorated with the strippers) have lapsed several years ago… The car hasn’t moved since then…

He spends lots of time in Miami area strip joints (where he gets free booze and money to show up)…

I wouldn’t be surprised if North Korea simply paid him a few (not to many) tens of thousands to show up in North Korea…

Guess what, he’s broke and his brain is fried…

Hans on March 3, 2013 at 5:30 pm

Rember the Bad Boy Days….Remember Jordan v Isiah….Jordan v. Rodman…Remember Rick Mahorn, Bill Laimbeer, Viny Johnson, Isiah Thomas, John Salley, Joe Dumars, Mark Aguire, James Edwards and Coach Chuck Daly….Detroit v Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, New York, Philly…Damn those were the good ole days…Let’s remember Rodman on the basketball court

HARD CORE TEA on March 3, 2013 at 5:55 pm

Yusuf Islam formerly formerly known as “Cat Stevens” gets snooty about burning Salman Rushdie in effigy. Won’t settle for anything less than the real thing… think he decided later wasn’t such good PR

Frankz on March 3, 2013 at 6:02 pm

Dennis Rodman is a severely mentally ill bogan. If I was a maudlin sort, I’d wring my hands and weep that it was prolly due to a childhood of severe neglect. I’m not so I’ll just say he’s a real gone creep infecting other idiots with his clueless idiocracy! He’s beneath contempt and he’s a fraud in all except his lack of a brain (that is truthful about the ass-clown!)

I like that you mentioned Madonna. That narcissistic, aged bag of crap should have more TRUTH thrown at her and her dalliances with nutter Rodman should be an albatross around her turkey neck. When I think of her horrid contributions to the culture I don’t think of her crap music but her “dating” a nutter like Rodman. She’s such a nasty person but many fools love her.

And don’t forget Rodman was the same jive turkey who when caught in bed with a woman by his wife Carmen Electra, said that he had no idea how she had arrived there and must have fallen through the ceiling. Only a freak like that can prop up a Nork monster like Kim Jong Un like he’s a benevolent leader!

Rodman is severely unwell. He’s embarrassing and as someone who like peeps who march to their own drummer, I NEVER felt it rang true with Retardo Rodman. His trying-to-hard fakery really was offensive to me and I saw right through him, the faker! (Viley Virus is his female counterpart).

He had nicely disappeared for a few years and I hope he does again soon.

How many kids has this pig sired? He’s a disgrace (as many are today) to humankind. I loathe him! He’d feed a bunch of starving Norks and too bad that it would be illegal for him to nourish them.

Skunky on March 3, 2013 at 6:16 pm

Debbie this reminds me of the NYT review of the new Guy Fieri Shit Hole in Times Square. Why any critic would eat at GFSH I don’t know. On the other hand maybe Rodman is more useful than our actual nincompoop diplomats. I get the feeling if he could play on a side with MJ, Rodman, Scottie Pippen and Pamela Anderson, the little turd would come to Disney World for a hoops summit and sushi eating competition. Once there we could get him addicted to weed and cable TV and otherwise defang him. Thank you for blogging the good blog Debbie.

A1 on March 3, 2013 at 6:26 pm

That Rotmann is getting ANY media attention on this is repulsive. Its a freak show. I thought Rotmann stopped dropping acid years ago. Apparently not.

Certified Diversity Trainer on March 3, 2013 at 6:28 pm

For crying out loud! With cretins like Dennis Rodman and Shane Smith stinkin’ up the world with their disgusting embrace of evil no wonder this world has been so abominable lately!

Keep Smith and Rodman away from the Moooooooslims. They’ll really be sticking their you-know-whats in the punch bowl if given the opportunity to fraternize and prop up Islam.

Just when I thought I reached an apogee of outrage!! Get me off this whack planet!!

Skunky on March 3, 2013 at 6:35 pm

My first thought was, “Who takes Dennis Rodman seriously?” He’s a retard, and what few brain cells he was born with were probably damaged by taking too much dope and s___ too much d___.
Next thought was, “This is scary as hell because…..” Because the dictator of a nation that is developing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles takes him seriously. Kim Jong Un is so desperate for attention, from someone from a country that is not a third world shithouse, that he will squirm like a puppy getting a treat for someone like Rodman. This backs up a theory I had years ago. When Bush Jr. was president, I always thought that he could have had Kim Jong Il, late North Korean dictator doing anything he wanted if he would have brought him to the U.S., showed him the ranch, let him shoot some guns, comped him at the Bunny ranch, Los Vegas, Disney world, etc. There are, and were, a few other third world apes playing with toys well beyond their mental capacity, that this tactic would work with, too. It might have even worked with Saddam Hussein and those two knuckle dragging retards he fathered.

RT on March 3, 2013 at 7:50 pm

“It’s a good thing Dennis Rodman wasn’t around in 1941,…”

Yeah, it is a good thing. The NBA was not integrated. He had enough talent to have played for the Harlem Globetrotters, but they had too much common sense, and class, to have put up with his sh!t.

CornCoLeo on March 3, 2013 at 8:26 pm

Sure, RT all they want is some attention kind of like Dennis and silly old Bush was just too dumb to play it right.

One day you’ll wake up with a nuke up your ass and wonder what happened.

Frankz on March 3, 2013 at 8:45 pm

The type of communism practised in NK resembles eerily the weaponized Islam preached and practised elsewhere on the planet.

I bet that all the people who have fallen under the Kims’ narcotic spell would be willing to kill, starve and die to be with their “great” leader on both this plane of existence and the afterlife (if there were to be any such thing, regardless of faith or lack thereof).

As for Dennis Who? and the Harlem Globetrotters: thank Dawkins that I have a life.

The Reverend Jacques on March 3, 2013 at 11:33 pm

There’s a reason why Rodman looks the way he does, dresses the way he does, speaks the way he does, and thinks the way he does. It’s because he is a half-wit. Nobody should pay any attention to this cretin. Hopefully, we read in the very near future, that Rodman overdosed on some kind of drug and has been dispatched to Hell, where he belongs.

Jeff on March 4, 2013 at 1:03 am

Just FYI, “methinks” means “it seems to me,” similar to Russian “dumaetsya mne.” Have a nice day!

I am sure that this is a propaganda coup for the little fat guy from North Korea. They will show this clown to all of the North Korean peasants and show them that this is how your typical American looks and acts.

Mike on March 4, 2013 at 10:50 am

@martin:

Most likely the former.

Incidentally, being slightly mentally unbalanced, as Rodman is, does not exempt one from responsibility for their actions. Rodman is capable of making choices. Evidence of this: he actually had an extremely high “basketball IQ” and worked very hard to excel at that sport, including a very difficult training regimen to keep his body in peak physical condition well into his late 30s despite the damage that his drug/alcohol/party lifestyle did to it. Rodman’s mental and emotional issues are a factor in his behavior, but nowhere near the sole or determining factor. For the most part, he is just another person who makes horrible choices in life that have seriously negative consequences on other people.

Gerald on March 4, 2013 at 11:14 am

But I do hate you, Dennis

Jack on March 4, 2013 at 11:17 am

Rodman is an idiot.

DS_ROCKS! on March 4, 2013 at 11:35 am

I remember Dennis Rot-man from his heydays with the Detriot Pistons. It was funny watching Thomas, Laimbeer, Johnson and Mahore along with Rot-man give Michael(paternity suit)Jordan fits went he drove to the basket. His clown act while he was with the Chicago Bulls was also funny because he got into guys heads like Karl Malone. That being said Rodman was and always has been a brain dead moron wo can be counted on the make and ass of himself. He either doesn’t know or care about what kind of “good kid” that Kim Jung rat Dung is. I’m sure that ole fat Kimmy doesn’t mind having a retarded “useful idiot” like Rodman hype up his image either. I hear that N. Korea is so bad that it could be classified as a forth world country. You’re right Debbie the Nazi scumbags back during World War II would’ve loved to have a washed up NBA playing, fake pro wrestling, irresponsible baby making, cross dressing, Bozo the Clown looking buffoon as a propagadist. It’s a shame that it took the likes of girly man like Georgie Streptococcus to make Dennis look like an even bigger fool. Too bad he can’t do the same to the O’Clown or any other Democrat.

Ken b on March 4, 2013 at 12:18 pm

Is he really any different than the useful idiots of the Congressional Black Caucus that run to Cuba, get wined and dined, and come back extolling the virtues of the Cuban way of life? Rodman is a celebutard. What’s their excuse?

JeffT on March 4, 2013 at 2:18 pm

If I was Kim Jung Un, I’d be embarrassed to be seen with Dennis Rodman.

Jonathan E. Grant on March 4, 2013 at 2:48 pm

Obviously they don’t check for drugs at the N. Korea airport. . . .

Rochelle on March 4, 2013 at 3:23 pm

JeffT it is a bit different because people aren’t starving to death in Cuba even though it’s an oppressive regime.
They also aren’t scrambling for nukes and repetitively vowing to obliterate the US.

Kim Jung Un is no dummy or at least the people behind him aren’t.
They/He knows that many Americans would prefer never to leave their celebrity make believe world.

Kim Jung’s North Korea dictator cult fantasy world is really just a B Grade version of the same thing.

He wants a merger. That’s why “the worm” knows more about him on a personal level than the CIA.

Frankz on March 4, 2013 at 3:34 pm

a friend – a friend,
don’t hate me

Frankz on March 4, 2013 at 3:45 pm

Yo Debbie, why the gratuitous jab at our Tea Party patriots? The GOP POTUS primary wasn’t exactly loaded with Constitutional conservatives, and the few that were, like H.Cain, seemed to disqualify themselves. Trump was a passing fancy as seemed to be hitting the right buttons re China for awhile, but soon faded. Even a proven leader and conservative like S.Palin gets nothing but contempt from you? Just wondering if anyone out there meets your standards, and btw, the majority of the TP aren’t morons, but we may be the last hope for stopping the progs/marxists from making us all serfs.

waynesteapartyworld on March 4, 2013 at 6:11 pm

Dennis Rodman is a moron. This media attention is even worse. Thanks once again Debbie for bringing this to our attention. Most people will treat it as a big joke something it surely is not.

Naomi R on March 4, 2013 at 9:48 pm

What do you expect? Madonna dumped him because he’s got an 80 IQ. I think he’s proved that fact handily here.

Oh, Dennis, I bet you wouldn’t be a rich and famous person in North Korea. And are you criticizing the Obama Admin? I thought all black people were supposed to support Obama, based purely on his skin color and not on his policies?

Rodman not the sharpest tool in the shed on March 4, 2013 at 11:22 pm

Most of you, while right, missed the bigger point (except Deb). Rodman’s a celeb. The whole WH culture is morphing into a celeb culture with special access to some and none or limited for the rest. Expect to see 50 cent (25 cent in the event of a financial meltdown) and Snoop Doggy Dogg visiting a WH near you in the near future…Just when we thought Beyonce , the Oscars, and Lady Kaka were more than enough

Not Ovenready on March 5, 2013 at 1:04 am

How dare you accuse Dennis Rodman of having a brain!

Pray Hard on March 5, 2013 at 11:12 am

No hes not an Idiot, or an ambassador or a politician or anything, stop acting like he’s Kissinger or something, good grief, he played basketball, parties and a guy living his life, do you really think he’s that informed on political issues or current events, be mad at the news media who gave this man a platform
