The Lewinsky Effect

NORTH KOREA SPY WON JEONG-HWA, who exchanged sexual favors for information from South Korean officers and who plotted to assasinate South Korean officials with poisoned needles, is awaiting sentencing.  The L.A. Times covers the story in considerable detail and publishes photographs of Won and her passport. 

On a personal note, I realize that standards of beauty are subjective in any culture, but if there’s apparently not much to be said for Ms. Won’s personality, I remain unable to explain her hypnotic effect on physically fit, gainfully employed, uniformed men.  Let us call it “the Lewinsky Effect.”  To make matters even more curious, one South Korean source says this is only “the tip of the iceberg.”
