Ex-SKorean leader Roh commits suicide at 62

I hope this sets a precedence for American politicians.

Ex-SKorean leader Roh commits suicide at 62

Former President Roh Moo-hyun, embroiled in a penetrating corruption investigation, leaped to his death Saturday — a shocking end for a man whose rags-to-riches rise took him from rural poverty to Seoul's presidential Blue House. He was 62.

Roh, a self-taught lawyer who never attended college and didn't have the elite background typical of Seoul politicians, had prided himself on being a "clean" leader immune to South Korea's traditional web of corruption.


One less gook, no one cares.
