Ted Turner never ceases to display himself as an idiot. Brent Baker reports that in an interview with Wolf Blitzer yesterday, Turner rejected the “despotic” characterization of Kim Jong Il, insisting that “he didn’t look too much different than most other people,” or that he treats his people brutally since Turner saw the people “were thin,” but “they were riding bicycles.” When Turner declared North Korea is not a “threat” to the U.S., Blitzer suggested their missiles could reach the U.S., prompting environmentalist Turner to dismissively retort: “Well, what, the Aleutian Islands? There’s nothing up there but a few sea lions.”
