Well, when you're as famous as Palin you don't need to be as scared. He was treated as royalty while the people behind the scenes are starving... He's so blind. It's sad.

I just caught the end of the documentary where I lost a lot of respect for him. He lamented the possibility of North Korea 'becoming like everywhere else.' and said that the people there didnt seem to be unhappy. Like--- wtf. He seriously thinks they would show him the executions and starvation? What a fucking useful idiot for them.

He should talk to Yeonmi Park, I don't think he witnessed anything of the reality of North Korea beyond what the authorities allowed him to see. No wonder everything he saw was wonderful.
