Calling North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un his "friend for life," while using expletives to refer to President Obama and former secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, a defiant Dennis Rodman arrived in Beijing from Pyongyang on Saturday, after a four-day trip to one of the most secretive nations in the world.
The former NBA star did not return with the jailed U.S. citizen Kenneth Bae, and refused to answer questions about him. U.S. authorities had hoped Pyongyang would release Bae to a U.S. envoy whose planned trip to North Korea was canceled by the North in late August.
Previously, Rodman had urged Kim to release Bae, and had said he would ask Kim to do so on his second trip to the isolated nation this year. Sporting a silver, sequined, beret-style hat and shouting obscenities at journalists, Dennis Rodman remained his usual colorful self after arriving at Beijing's airport.

Who is the bigger nut, the nut, or the nut that befriends the nut?! I'm not sure I can work out which way round that applies in this particular case!
