Last week Seattle Times writer Thanh Tan called on Dennis Rodman to step in on behalf of Kenneth Bae, a Korean-American tour guide imprisoned for allegedly committing “hostile acts” against North Korea. It's a cruel world when Dennis Rodman's the best hope we've got. Nevertheless, despite Tan's own acknowledgement that the plea "might be a stretch," Rodman actually responded:

I'm calling on the Supreme Leader of North Korea or as I call him "Kim", to do me a solid and cut Kenneth Bae loose.

In direct response to your article headline, "Ok." Read your story @uscthanhtan, and I decided to help. http://t.co/XfRyEwjZc8

Hopefully, for Bae's sake, North Korea's dictator -- "Kim" -- is in a solid-doing mood. I suppose that, given the dire circumstances, it was pretty gracious of Dennis Rodman to take a break from whatever it is that Dennis Rodman does now:

Who's coming to my pool party this Sun in Vegas? @SapphireDayClub #PoolParty - http://t.co/ZRBewptD91

Actually, that does sound like fun.
