    Chef and author Anthony Bourdain wrote the following about Kissinger in his 2001 book A Cook’s Tour:

    “Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia—the fruits of his genius for statesmanship—and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević. While Henry continues to nibble nori rolls and remaki at A-list parties, Cambodia, the neutral nation he secretly and illegally bombed, invaded, undermined, and then threw to the dogs, is still trying to raise itself up on its one remaining leg.”

    Whoever it was that said they desperately hoped Jimmy Carter held on long enough for Kissinger to die first, I salute you. I truly didn’t think it was possible after Rosalynn passed.

    Best news the world has had in months if not years! 🥳

    I just wish I still drank so I could properly celebrate with the biggest and most debauched party of my life!

    About fucking time. It’s also a somber reminder that life isn’t fair. Hope Hitler shoves pineapples up your ass in hell for eternity.

      That’s an awfully lax punishment… I hope he gets a Hitler made of pineapples shoved up his butt. Slowly.
