tenuous connection between the late President Roh and Yangyang county

In the Joongang, there is a sappy farewell to the recently deceased ex-president Roh Mu-hyeon, comparing him to a salmon of the sort that swims up the NamDae River in Yangyang.

I was not a particular fan of him when he was alive and though I can find the strength to not badmouth him now that he is past, I cannot join in the praise he is receiving from the same people to attack him last week.

Salmon are cool, though.
