Please don't let Ling and Lee fly home on one of Bill's party planes
Bill Clinton is a red-blooded American man, as we all know. We're sure he was delighted to do his patriotic duty and go to North Korea (as a private citizen of course) to try to secure the release of these two nice ladies who Al Gore hasn't really been able to help. We are terrified of what kind of favors Bill Clinton thinks he might be due in return from these just pardoned journalists.
As you can see from the picture, Bill Clinton apparently had to hang out with all these important people at the world's ugliest banquet hall, complete with special mural and lovely carpet. He's all "Oh my god, when are they sending some honeys over, I can't believe I'm doing this" and Kim Jong-Il is all "Ha! They sent Bill crawling to us."
Looking forward to the tell all, which will undoubtedly be an Oprah exclusive when we will find out whether Ling and Lee were really in a labor camp or a guest house.
Update: Ling and Lee are apparently flying home on Bill's private plane. He will skeeve all over them. Here's hoping Bill does the honorable thing and leaves them alone to nap.

Does Bill have any idea how bad private planes are for the environment? What was he thinking?!! Al Gore's gonna be pissed!

I bet old Bill took one look at that weirdly coquettish photo of Euna Lee that everyone keeps using:

and started planning the line he'd drop on them once he got them free:
"Hey ladies, I'm sure you both had a lot of long, lonely nights up there in the North Korean prison camp/guest house. Did I mention that I risked my own personal safety and political reputation to get you released? Hey, what are you doing all the way over there in your seats? Loosen up those safety belts and come join me over here on this cozy party plane sofa. Bring your cocktails."
