Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
As you probably know by now, North Korea's communist dictator, Kim Jong Il, is dead. In addition to being dead, the "Dear Leader" is also in a "warm corner of hell" with the likes of Adolf Hitler and Osama bin Laden.
That's according to Arizona Senator John McCain, who reacted to the North Korean dictator's death with a sense of jubilation.
From the Associated Press:
"I can only express satisfaction that the Dear Leader is joining the likes of Qaddafi, Bin Laden, Hitler, and Stalin in a warm corner of hell," McCain said
North Koreans aren't nearly as thrilled about the death of their leader (according to the isolationist country's propaganda department, that is).
Watch video below -- released by North Korean state TV -- of North Koreans hysterically mourning the late leader.
