Wassa Matter? Couldn't Learn Roosky Yazeek?

Do not give clemency to Edward Snowden.

Instead, let him move from Russia to Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, or Wherever, be sucked dry of whatever piteous tidbits he has left from his stint at NSA, and gradually sink into the nothingness of a man without a country.

Snowden betrayed his birthright. Do not extend him a mess of pottage.

Snowden Postscript

Edward Snowden has been holed up in the transit zone of a Russian airport for more than a month now.  Thirty-some days eating candy bars out of vending machines.  Thirty-some days in the same clothes.  Thirty-some days without a shower.  No wonder Russia doesn't want him.

Why didn't he just flee to North Korea and be done with it?
