Looks like Bubba got the job done. He was able to secure "special pardons" for Current TV journalists Euna Lee and Laura Ling. Reports suggest that the two could be on a plane home to the U.S. tonight (perhaps even with the former President).
Obama could have gone with Richardson, but something tells me his Secretary of State convinced him that another Bill would be good for the job.
Although of course, officially, the White House has no comment regarding this "private citizen's" trip to North Korea.
But you've got to hand it to the man, two American citizens have gone from a possible 12-year sentence in a labor camp to being on a plane back to the U.S. because of William Jefferson Clinton. Republicans should seriously think about getting a congressional resolution going to forgive the man his oral in the oval.
