A ghost ship that doesn’t know it

The ruling Uri Party’s approval ratings are as low as they could possibly get.

Chough Soon-hyung, the man both blamed and credited for being the main instigator of the impeachment vote against president Roh Moo-hyun, just won himself a seat in the National Assembly again. Uri and its supporters would have liked to see Chough remain part of the political past.

Someone from the Uri Party sees Chough approaching in the distance and asks, trembling with fear, "Isn’t that...a...ghost ship?!"

"No, actually, we’re the ghost ship," says another Uri member.
