Kim Jong-Un Privately Doubting He's Crazy Enough To Run North Korea

[joeybee12]

PYONGYANG, NORTH KOREA—In surprisingly candid remarks today following his father's death, Kim Jong-un, heir apparent to North Korea's highest government post, expressed doubt that he was sufficiently out of his mind to succeed longtime dictator Kim Jong-il.

Kim says the task of somehow becoming "as loony tunes as [his] dad" is a daunting one.
While emphasizing that he was definitely completely insane and would likely become even more so as leader of North Korea, the younger Kim nevertheless wondered if he could ever be enough of a lunatic to truly replace the most unhinged dictator on the planet.

"Obviously, I know I was handpicked because I'm super crazy," said Kim, the youngest of the late 69-year-old dictator's four known children. "But my father was just so great at what he did. Did you know the people of North Korea heard his voice exactly once, for like five seconds? How nuts is that? Honestly, I look at stuff like that and I think, 'Wow, there's just no way I can ever top Dad.'"

"We're talking about a world-class nutjob here," he added.

1. Some in North Korea have begun a "draft Michelle Bachmann" campaign.

3. I reworked that and shortened it a little for My Favorite Wingnut:

North Korea has extended an invitation to Michele Bachman, Herman Cain, Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich to apply for the position of Dictator. Asked why they are passing over the assumed heir-apparent, Kim Jong-Un, officials replied, "We just don't think he's crazy enough to make a good replacement for his father."
