North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was all smiles after scaling to the top of a 9,000-foot-tall mountain \u2014 wearing spotless black leather shoes, according to state media.<\/p>\n
The tubby tyrant trudged \u201cthrough thick snow\u201d to the top of Mount Paektu, where he was photographed beaming none the worse for wear in his double-breasted coat.<\/p>\n
And in addition to accomplishing the feat without mountaineering gear, Kim also miraculously changed the weather, according to the official state newspaper Rodong Sinmun.<\/p>\n
The active volcano along the Chinese and North Korean border offered a \u201cwarm welcome\u201d to the diminutive despot as it showed \u201cjoy at the appearance of the peerlessly illustrious commander who controls nature.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
And, of course, who wouldn’t scale a mountain wearing low quarters and a long wool coat? The gods must have shined his shoes after the arduous climb, as well. Everyone who has been in the military knows how sure-footed a wearer of those shoes are in snow.<\/p>\n
Personally, I don’t think he could climb into his high chair to drink a Blizzard at Dairy Queen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
