Imagine sending George W. Bush on a serious negotiation overseas. Or worse, Sarah Palin.

Don't be so pompus and arrogant. Clinton flew out of the Country with TWO U.S. citizens, protected by the constitution, just like you and I.

Hurray, BJ Clinton saved the day!
You guys need to lighten up....too sensitive . The first comment was funny.
If you boys view your political party as a favorite sports team that you have to defend at all cost.... you will always be sadly disappointed. They are all human and make mistakes. Not to mention the political process corrupts all "Don Quixote's" who enter with good intentions.

But it's not funny, and it is in very poor taste. It has nothing to do with defending your party - Mr. Clinton went on and successfully completed a very significant humanitarian mission and to reference his lowest point is classless. It is insane how people continue to refer to him as 'BJ' Clinton or talk about that every time his name comes up. He is an accomplished individual. Move on, for heaven's sake. It's really creepy that people won't.

P-Town is one of the most conservative enclaves in the Bay and East Bay Areas and it shows!

Re: A very significant humanitarian mission - Nonsense, he went to NK to pay ransom and kiss KJ Il's butt for the propaganda machine
With the pardon, KJ Il bought time to sell a few more nukes....
Watch out!

Journalists or tourists that get close to an international border are taking a big risk and they are responsible for their own actions. It’s similar to walking up to the edge of sea cliff to see what happens.
However, I am compassionate enough to know that they are terrified and need help. At first I thought Clinton going to NK was a mistake but I can see benefits that will be useful for our country. I realize that the NK government had a field day with Clinton and this was expected. But, the PR we received was significant and may have open dialogue again.
