"Hazy prattle from Benjamin Carson seemingly never ends": North Korea's Take on GOP Debate
Via the Twitter feed of Popehat (Ken White Patrick Non-White), comes this remarkably insightful live-tweeting of last night's GOP debate…by "North Korea's official news agency" (not really, but still a shame).
Full parody below and here. Snippets:
"Marcos Rubio US condemns arrogant fat man Chris Christie as abortion-procuring political pimp."
"Miserable son of inbred plutocrats Jeb Bush speaks in vague and unquantifiable nebulisms."
"Capitalist Donald Trump grudgingly admits that United States is a bankrupt and morally failed nation."
"New York City called a cesspool of abortion, drug abuse, perversion, and sodomy by senator Ted Cruise."

It's funny because it's true!
This is grorious.
One of the best accounts on Twitter, without a doubt.
As awesome as Popehat's "DPRK News Service" feed is on its own, what pushes it into the realm of the sublime is how often media outlets mistake it for an actual, real-life Nork government Twitter account.
I was very disappointed when Patrick axed the account a few months ago and was very happy when he started it back up. But as Citizen X notes, the very best part of it is when the media (and all kinds of media's done it!) thinks it's really the Norks' account.
