“Flair”? If by “flair” you mean “reckless disregard for human suffering,” then yes. Rodman’s got pantloads of flair.
The ex-NBA star is back in North Korea for his bestie Kim Jong Un’s 31st birthday, and this time, he’s brought some friends with him.

Brutal dictatorships are hilarious!
Rodman has arrived in Pyongyang. Some of his team members stood at the to top of the airplane steps to shoot phone pics and make selfies.

How nice for the Ministry. Meanwhile, the regular citizens of North Korea are apparently not entitled to such simple kindnesses.

That’s more food than most North Koreans could dream of.
Shame on Rodman. Shame on all who show love and respect to a man who oppresses his people.
