Dennis Rodman has always been a little odd to say the least but his friendship with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un was especially bizarre even for Rodman. This unusually bizarre behavior continued Tuesday when CNN host Chris Cuomo asked The Worm why He (Rodman) and his “all-star team” would travel to the country to play an exhibition game for Kim Jong Un’s birthday?
“You’ve got the basketball game coming up,” Cuomo said. “Tell me, given the situation in the country where you are right now, why do you believe this is a good idea?”
Rodman responded with a totally Rodman-esque response saying it was “Good for the World” but finished by stating his “love” for his “friend”.
“It’s a great idea for the world,” Rodman said. “Why? I love my friend.”
Ok…
Things got heated though when Cuomo asked Rodman if he’d use his friendship with Kim Jong Un to help in the release of imprisoned American Kenneth Bae:
“Do you understand what Kenneth Bae did in this country?” Rodman said, wagging a cigar. “You tell me. Why is he held captive?
“I don’t give a [expletive]!” Rodman continued, shrugging off teammate Charles Smith’s attempts to calm the situation. “I don’t give a rat’s [expletive] what the hell you think!”
Obviously there’s all the issues that Cuomo brought up, Kenneth Bae, the labor camps and continued human rights violations under the Kim Jong Un regime that Rodman continued to brush off until he had his final melt down. Not to mention Rodman’s constant need to rub elbows with arguably the most evil and disgusting human being on the face of the earth who he refers to as his “friend”. But aside from all of that, it almost sounds as if Rodman is totally brain washed by the North Korean propaganda machine, money or both.
Lets also not forget this interview he gave to CNN about his motivations in North Korea.
