(CNN) -- Former U.S. President Bill Clinton landed in North Korea early Tuesday on a mission to negotiate the release of two American journalists imprisoned there since March, according to the country's state news agency and a CNN source.
The North Korean news agency KCNA did not disclose the purpose of the visit in its three-line dispatch. But a source with detailed knowledge of the former president's movements told CNN late Monday that Clinton was going to seek the release of Laura Ling and Euna Lee, both reporters for California-based Current TV -- media venture launched by Clinton's former vice president, Al Gore.
Now, far be it from me to cast aspersions on our former President's motives or anything, but here are the journalists in question:
You think he'd be hopping on a plane to North Korea if the journalists looked like this?
That is all.

I heard he'd gone to Korea to pick up two women, but... well, actually... I mean really, what else can you say? It's going to be a long flight home for those women, either way.
I just snorted water out my nose, thanks...
Dude that link is just... wrong. On so many many levels. I think I need to go take a shower with the 60 grit loofah now.
He sure as hell didn't do anything for Daniel Pearl... Oh wait a minute, Pearl didn't work for algore did he...
ANd he gets a three way allll the way back on the plane.
