Dennis Rodman "Doesn't Give A Rat's Ass" What You Think About His 'Friendship' With Kim Jong Un
On a satellite interview from Pyongyang, North Korea, former NBA player Dennis Rodman 'lost it' this morning with the anchor from CNN's "New Day" show. Describing his (and his team's) visit to North Korea as a "great trip for the world," Rodman started to get frustrated when questioned about whether he will use the opportunity to speak about Kenneth Bae, an American citizen who has been held in North Korea. "Do you understand what he did?" Rodman exclaimed, "You tell me! You tell me! Why is he held captive?" Having described Kim Jong Un as a "friend for life," Rodman went on to tell the CNN anchor, "I don't give a rat's ass what you think." Ah, the new normal diplomacy. We wonder if Kim's uncle also described him as a 'friend for life.'? As WaPo reports, The White House is not happy.
As The Washington Post reports, The White House is not happy,
White House press secretary Jay Carney was not impressed.
"I'm not going to dignify that outburst with a response," Carney said during his daily briefing.
Carney reiterated the administration's position that the government of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will continue to face international economic and diplomatic sanctions until it takes steps to place its military and nuclear weapons programs under international monitoring.
"Sports exchanges can be valuable. Sports diplomacy can be valuable," Carney said. "But this is a private trip, and our focus when it comes to North Korea is on sharpening the choice that that regime faces between further isolation, further economic deprivation ... and taking advantage of the opportunity to rejoin the community of nations to ease that and potentially end that isolation."
...
"We remain gravely concerned about Kenneth Bae's health and continue to urge [North Korean] authorities to grant his amnesty and immediate release on humanitarian grounds."

I don't give a rat's ass about his friendship either.
LOL
I just know that's a phat blunt he's smokin.
Also, diggin the entourage. Looks like a panther press conference - in NK. TV guy should be congradulating him.
If Obama had a son . . . . . . .
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE
/HILL
Is this an Argo move?? This is the weirdest shit ever.
Who let the dogs out....ruf ruf
Rodman- still chasing after orange balls for a living.....
the Onion is going to have to close its doors... it can't compete with the shit show that is our world. btw, scary to say this, but i suspect Rodman is a lot more honest than the U.S. government.
We asked a few rat's asses and they were repulsed that he slept with Madonna.
He was never the sharpest knife in the drawer..., now he's even duller.
If Kim Jong Un had a 'brother', he'd look like Dennis Rodman.
Amerika.. land of opportunity for a scumbag of human debris like Rodman.
If Rodman had a brain he'd walk backwards.
AND THEY Call SNOWDON The Traitor?????
Rodman kind of sounds like Obama here...
Just substitute "what you think..." with "the constitution."
They are great men.
IMO, their is more to 'the Worm' visiting the DPRK then whats on the surface.
.
Who would think that a weird, cross dressing, former NBA st*r would go visit that isolated country for any 'official business?'
No one.
-Maybe thats why its brilliant.
.
What? - you dont think he isnt getting debriefed when he comes back into the USA?
Deliced perhaps...
I just wonder if the NK national team is going to be executed when they don't win. Or will Rodman and his crew be executed for beating them? Enquiring minds want to know.
Is this an Argo move?? This is the weirdest shit ever.
Yep. The 'urban' remake.
Idiocracy is a documentary of our future.
(it's got electrolytes)
Idiocracy is just around the corner.
Dennis Rodman for Secretary of State.
He gots want peoples want.
Oh, thanks HH. Nightmares again.
Argh! My eyes!! It burns!!! The goggles do nothing!!!!
Here I come to save the day!!
http://eyebleach.com/
Wowsers. Not what I was expecting.
You know, that eye bleach really helps.
Muchas gracias!
Nice blazer!
Does kind of look like Hilary, maybe you're on to something.
Does he dress like that because he thinks he's a woman trapped in a man's body?
Or, does he dress like that because he's a turd trapped in a rat's ass?
And where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don't bother - they're here.
Idiocracy Mash-up

(it's what North Korean's crave)
Well, that and grass.
You better roose da game round eye, or else we feed you to da dogs!!
There are no dogs in NK. No rats either.
Who's killed more people, the US or N. Korea?
I don't know about that, but this development has me worried about the USA's ability to rebound.
bitchez
The piercings are definitely a technical foul.
Nothing says "sexy" like a chain running between your nose and your schlong.
Are each country's dogs included in the equation?
I can only agree with you that the US funds China through a massive trade surplus so they can give NK some Australian Iron Ore to exchange for wheat. So South Korea is stuck paying protection fees to the U.S.
IF the U.S. took care of itself by balancing trade to fix the economy? North Korea probably woudln't exist. But proving a point is more important on your part, they don't have no oil and the US needs the work.
Umm... neither the US nor N. Korea has killed anyone, as they're merely abstractions.
Would it be any different if Jay-Z and Beyonce went there? Last I recalled, O looked the other way when those two went to Cuba.
It would have helped his message if he wasn't shitfaced.
Or marry himself in drag.
Definitely very high on North Korean meth.
"Men in Black" had it right after all. Dennis Rodman is an alien.
He and Kim Jong Un both are peas from a pod!
It's not just the last player in the draft who is Mr. Irrelevant.
This news is really disturbing. Not only do I hang on every word out of Rodman's goobers, I was sure he was hanging on mine.
This was a top rebounder in the NBA, people. We need to pay attention.
Such bullcrap!
The real story, which whorescum such as Cuomo and Costello will never cover, is why did CNN fire that young lady reporter for attempting to actually report what was really taking place in Bahrain, and how many other such reporters has CNN fired for the very same reason?
However Rodman is very correct to react voiciferously to that dumbass presenters attempts to bait him... FFS, the guy is in no-man's land with 10 of the NBA's best old-timers. They could all get strung out to dry just for being on the other end of the video-conference while that schmuck presenter's postulates on reason's for Bae's incarceration.
Rat's ass is what's on the menu in most North Korean restaurants
If you like his freindship, you can keep it.
We're supposed to care about what a
BASKETBALL player "thinks" about anything? What a world.
Can we somehow trade Rodman for Snowden?
Kenneth Bae (born Pae Jun Ho; 1968) is an American citizen convicted by North Korea on charges of planning to overthrow the North Korean government, including setting up bases in China for the purpose of toppling the North Korean government.
Not real clear why he would not be in jail in a country targeted. Pretty sure the general in Seven Days In May was jailed.
"Not real clear why he would not be in jail in a country targeted. Pretty sure the general in Seven Days In May was jailed."
Not familiar with the facts about Bae, but North Korea recently held a visiting American tourist, just because he had fought North Korea during the Korean War.
I would guess that Bae is innocent of the charges.
North Korea is a rabid police state that makes the USSA look free.
North Korea . . . . . Likely the only place on the planet that a Rodman or any other person (odd balls?) can go to get away from NSA lazer beams. Maybe not as freakish as he first appears . . . .
"No Viet Cong ever called me n1gger" Muhhamad Ali Re: Ali's resistance to wartime servitude.
"No North Korean ever called me n1gger" D Rodman Maybe his behavior done to rub something in the nose of "whitey"
Not in any way to equate the stature of these two public figures
Dont Bogart that joint, Bitchez
Don't sleep on Barry O.
Dennis should know better : it's ok to be friend with BHO and those dictators from the West, but KJU is not gonna do, he is just a little worse but barely ...
when comedy becomes reality. I feel like I'm watching an episode of Chappelle's show.
That's funny because I don't give a rat's ass about Dennis Rodman. Too bad Kim didn't feed him to the dogs.
Doc, ya beat me to it on both counts! +++
I was going to say the same thing about not giving a rat's ass about him too. First thing to pop into my mind.
The visit is still young, Doc. Plenty of time for "The World's Most Dangerous Frat Boy" to decide he doesn't like how things are going and chuck them all in a dark hole somewhere.
Remember, Kim Jong Un's uncle thought he was the kid's uncle "for life," too. And he was right. Right up until his life was ended.
I hear that mistake is still dogging him. Too soon?
Ugh, you're barking up the wrong tree Colonel!
But you know what they say: "Once bitten, twice shat".
Yeah but if he fed them Rodman, they'd have the dribbles
Is it still cannibalism if they then eat the dogs?
Only if they eat the dogs alive, with their bare teeth.
(A proposition which plenty of the millions of starving 'political prisoners' in North Korea would probably gladly accept.)
The White House is out golfing again and it isn't happy?
Maybe a little one on one hoops between the Worm and Obozo would smooth things over.
Completely unrelated, Obama is unhappy because he keeps slipping off the ball washer.
Way to go Rodman, it isn't his problem that an Korean vet was stupid enough to to North Korea in the first place
Well, Dennis, it's mutual.
Ray Cyste
seems theres a book deal here
They should have had Carmen Elektra do the interview. In fact...why not just turn CNN into the "Carmen Elektra News Network"...guarantee ratings would do more than collapse at least. "just bring in all the other girls and they'll talk your ear off while maintaining the interest of viewers for an eternity."
All I want to know is how does this useless POS gets through security at the airport with all that crap in his face? Have .GOV revoke his passport and see if he gives a 'rat's ass' then.
How long before we see Rodman back in his wedding dress in a ceremony with 'ol Kim?
Dennis Jong Un?
Well, a good marriage begins with a solid friendship.
Hmmm...Looks like Kim and Dennis both gave my comment a Down Arrow...Well...I DON'T GIVE A RAT'S ASS !!!!!
rebound
You have to give the Worm credit, he is playing this shit for all it's worth, and the media is eating it up. Good on ya' Worm. Just don't piss off lil Kim while you are over there.
Seen in an anonymous park somewhere...(in the Summer) :>D
TPTB deserve to get their noses rubbed in their own sh!t more than once in awhile!
We should all be like Dennis Rodman -- pound sand US State department!
This is fucking bizarro world.
Penguins are always confused by Humans... :>D
If you like your friendship with a dictator, keep your friendship with a dictator.
anyone who is quoted as not to "give a rats ass about ______" is ok in my book. the only ones that should give a rats ass about anything is an eagle or a hawk. they measure things in rats asses as they are the "tasty" end of a meal.
Barry, Rodman and Kim can all die and rot in hell.
Carney is relieved that he is not the rat whose ass that Rodman might use.
Hey d-rod, how about a Happy Fat Baby Rats Ass?
Hey ABB sold the nuke plant to N Korea when Donald Rumsfield was on BOD http://www.theguardian.com/world/2003/may/09/nuclear.northkorea
Rodman is cover for Neo-cons war profiteering Offense making us a police state and very very weak defense. We are droning Pakistan folks wake up.
Rodman is more like the red herring and the scapegoat. The fall guy if you will.
He's just a very eccentric, high profile, retired b-ball star.
Not the Navy Seals, not the National Guard, not a Ph. D in international relatioins from a school BETTER than UC Bezerkely/Stanford, not the Secretary of State, not a 5 star general...
It is my understanding that this Kenneth Bae character was some sort of outlaw missionary, preaching the godspell of Christianity, --a preposterous theology. This is illegal in NK.
Oh well.
The USA media refuses to investigate the American CIA and it's close ties to Al-Qaeda and the Sunni Jihad centered in Saudi Arabia. So, seriously, how do they get off even talking down to the Basket Ball Player. He never claimed to be arming and funding North Korea, he plays basket ball for fuck's sake! Let the media ask why the USA arms, funds, transports and trains Al-Qaeda and Sunni Jihadists from across the globe, including many hundreds of EU citizens to invade Syria and commit mass war crimes?
I for one am sick to fuck of the corporate liar media. They are a tool of the crony capitalism that has destroyed free markets in favor of fraud and wealth transfer. On the foreign front, the media hides the US involvement and alliance with radical Islam in it's efforts to destroy all secular governments, including the secular government of Russia. Look at Libya, where is the US media now that Al-Qaeda rules the streets? Nowhere, the fucking liars and cowards were ordered by the State Department to leave and never report the consequences of the NATO proxy conquest of Libya. Media in America is a joke, wholly owned agent of government and their corporate masters. Fuck 'em. Don't read them, don't watch them, don't listen to them. We have an internet, so we can seek news elsewhere. I do, I will never go back to US media, they are tools of the great neo-con experiment in radical Islamic alliances.
For everyone else, there's Cartoon Network®!
who is this guy ??
Quite possibly the greatest rebounder in the history of the NBA (now retired). I'm excuding Wilt and Russell because their competition (other than one another) paled in comparison to that of Rodman's era.
Now, he's the leading scorer of propaganda points for North Korea; the US State Department deserves it!
If Rodman actually LIVED in North Korea, he would be an Un Uncle too! And he would deserve it!
North Korea has Kim Jong Un!
America has Kim Jong Obama!
LOL....what a cunt
He's a private citizen, but when he holds press conferences he can't hide behind that fact. It's obvious this narcissistic wack job is trying to make some kind of statement and pretend that he represents me or my country. This idiot can't even adequately order and represent his own affairs, let alone mine or those of my country.
I think Dennis is the sole public figure more diplomatically incompetent than Obama.
Hey CNN, where's all your hard-hitting journalism and outrage for those in Gitmo that have been declared innocent, yet still held?
When NK does it, it is an abomination, but when we do it, it is alllllll good?
And puh-lease, Rodman may look like a nut, act like a nut, but I doubt he is insanely stupid.
Kim recently executed his "beloved" Uncle, I'm sure offing a crazy Westerner wouldn't be a big stretch.
I'd keep my mouth shut too, at least as long as I remain within the country and Kim's control.
We 'murkins are a deluded and distracted lot, are we not?
they must get free use of glory holes or something, i mean its a shit hole there
WTF cares?
Hey dress wearer, you are a PRIVATE CITIZEN holding a PRESS CONFERENCE! Of course you care what we think you narcissist.
Neeeekkaaaaaaaaaaaz
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KpES1G_5jg
Kenneth Bae is dead! NIkkkaaaa
Seriously, can we "donate" Dennis to NK? On a permenant basis? Crossdressing is one thing, being best pals with a guy who'd off his uncle to stay in power is a serious lack of judgement.
He had balls enough to whack someone supposedly close to him and gave him a trial. Our little hope and change dictator whacks strangers half a world away for target practice for when he has to start doing it here.
How to explain all yer down-arrows... Here ya go!
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Brother Kim for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be REDUCED to twenty gram a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four
hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
GO 1984
Is that any different than listening to the Obamatron, extolling the virtues of Obamacare for the employment opportunities it represents? Ya missed it by this much<...>
Any of those piercings could hold an lead encased piece of Polonnium in order to spike Kim Jung Un's tea. Some mode of delivery.
Rodman doesn't need Polonnium. He sweats Hep-C and at least five or six other STDs.
Denis who?
Was it just my lack of comprehension of rudimentary english or was he mostly incoherent?
I don't like Rodman, I don't like Kim Un whatever, but I do like somehobdy telling the MSM that he doesnt give a rat's ass what anybody thinks.
Tihis reminds me of a title to soap opera called"As the world turns"
But the title of the video should be "As the world implodes"
All these side show distractions that steal all of us from our real purpose.
At least there won't be any blather like that video at the throne:
Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name; that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Niggaz be losin dey minds and shit
If you like your basketball

Slow news day ZH? Or did I click on TMZ?
I heard Kim Jong Un organizes better Bunga Bunga parties than Silvio Berlusconi.

I spent a day with Dennis once. Both in public, and "behind the scenes."
He is a genuinely nice guy. He is smart. He is funny. He is gracious. And he was not the clown that his public persona shows.
I went into the day dreading my job. I've been around celebrities, mostly NBA "stars" etc. Many of them are assholes--at least the the folks working around them. At best, most simply ignore you. I've come to deal with that, not really caring much about them either.
However, Dennis, Charles, Magic, David Robinson, Chris Mullan, and a few others stand out. These guys were engaging, made eye contact, and could actually hold a conversation. Of all of them Dennis was the most unlike what I expected.
I think he is just having fun with people. I think he likes going some place where he is treated like a king. I think he likes going some place where people do not swarm around him asking stupid questions and making stupid statements.
I don't care who he hangs out with. The day he hung out with me....it was fun.
Sent an 'exotic dancer' to his house once near 32nd st in newport.......
Dennis Rodman belongs in NK, as it is a failed State. I'm sure he wouldn't move to his ancestorial homeland, as they are all failed States as well.
"The top five are all sub-Saharan African nations. Nineteen of the top twenty five are sub-Saharan African countries (counting Haiti). All nineteen of the nineteen “most stable” nations are white nations."
http://topconservativenews.com/2014/01/foreign-policy-lists-the-25-most-failed-states/Let's be totally on honest here. A 'failed state'
A FAILED STATE is a nation, a people not under control of the US-MILITARY.
Is this kind of 'failure' a bad thing?
It shows that the people of NK have balls, like CUBA.
Why can't the USA persons standup to the assholes running the world?
Soon the only enclaves of freedom are in those "failed states".
It's funny how the main stream media ingnores the back story on HOW Dennis got invited to N Korea in the first place...
HBO / VICE episode was very facinating...
http://youtu.be/BuTPtSJIEos
ooooh "these ten guys here", now it finally makes sense
since he likes NK so much, can we assume Rodman wouldn't mind the return of slavery?
Having black psychotic homosexual liars, criminals and frauds represent our country has been a bad idea... in fact, just look at the last 5 years.
Hohohohoho! +10!
Seems kinda put out over something he doesn't give a rats ass about.
Sad what addiction can do to a guy.. one of the all time greats

Stay there Rodman. Don't come back. Ever.
I'd be speaking up for my little rotund buddy, too, Rod Man, since he has a lot of hungry dogs and errant mortar rounds.
Carry on. Maybe have Kim get some tats.
Besides, Rod Man probably had to go to NK just to make sum money in the Bath House Economy, so more power to him. I just hope he's paid in real dollarz and not NK bahts or whatever they use.
Lets say you went there to play basketball, then changed your mind and decided to leave. I wonder how exactly would you do that?
Have the dog poo shipped back to the US.
See that's what happens when there is so much mis-information out there. No one can know what is real and what is total bullshit. Rodman was there, I wasn't. Was Kim's uncle really killed by dogs, or at all?
And who the fuck is Bae? For all I know he tried to fuck Kim's boyfriend. God, I need a life!
Time for some comic relief for ya...
Can you (or Dennis Rodman) ever trust that someone arrested in a foreign country is ever the 'innocent' person that the US government claims them to be?
This is what Bae said (supposedly) from WIKI:
On May 14, 2013, he was moved to a "special prison."[37] Bae would do eight hours of farm labor a day, which he had never done before.[29] Bae sent hand-written letters to his family stating that he was going blind and that help was needed.[32] On July 3, 2013, an interview with Bae was released, in which he spoke of health problems includingdiabetes, high blood pressure, fatty liver and a back problem.[29] When asked if the prison life was bearable, he replied "Yes, people here are very considerate. But my health is not in the best condition, so there are some difficulties. But, everyone here is considerate and generous, and we have doctors here, so I'm getting regular check-ups".[31]
Hell in a US prison he probably would have been butt-fucked by now or worse, Again, sad to say, whom do you believe, when all our illustrious leaders and their mouth-pieces are a bunch of self serving immoral liars telling us what's what.
Generally Asian prisons, like all the world let you have a woman time to time, almost all cultures outside of the USA consider inhumanitarian to deny a man pussy.
The USA is the most rotten hell hole on earth, and yes the USA prison system is about MALE-RAPE, and Solitary confinement, both known to drive me insane, and destroy their self-respect.
Given that the majority of people in USA prison are 'black', it should do well for Rodman to be an ambassador to a nation that cares about people, should give the blacks of America a time to reflect on who has a heart, the Heartless OREO OBAMA, or the Kind Son Rodman.
Note Obama is an OREO, Jesse Jackson has said so many a time, "Black on the inside, and snow white inside".
