With former NBA star Dennis Rodman in North Korea for what seems like the millionth time this year, he agreed to a satellite interview with a CNN host live from Pyongyang.
Big mistake.
Host Chris Cuomo asked Rodman about imprisoned US citizen Kenneth Bae, to which The Worm responded:
The one thing about politics, Kenneth Bae did one thing. If you understand — if you understand what Kenneth Bae did. Do you understand what he did? In this country?
Rodman then refused to state what Bae is accused of doing and just started waving a cigar around and telling Cuomo that he didn’t give a “rat’s ass” about what CNN thought.
With the eyes of the world on the North Korean regime after the recent execution of Kim Jong-un’s powerful uncle, Jang Song-thaek (below with Rodman), this seems an espcially odd time for the worm to visit the troubled country.

According to Rodman’s agent, the former Bulls star is there to play an exhibition game with former NBA stars: Kenny Anderson, Cliff Robinson, Vin Baker, Craig Hodges, Doug Christie, and Charles D. Smith.
Never a dull moment.
