North Korea Lashes Out at U.S. Official
2003-08-03
Pyongyang called a U.S. State Department official "human scum" for his criticism of North Korea's leader. North Korea said Saturday that it won't deal with U.S. Undersecretary of State John Bolton because he described Kim Jong Il as a "tyrannical dictator" and said "life is a hellish nightmare" for many North Koreans.
Well, damn him! Why'd he want to say something true like that?
Bolton had made the remarks during a visit to South Korea last week. "Such human scum and bloodsucker is not entitled to take part in the talks," a North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman said, according to the North's official KCNA news agency. "We have decided not to consider him as an official of the U.S. administration any longer nor to deal with him."
Temper, temper! Careful! Nobody wants to see you pop a vein and... Never mind.

#3  Why would he need a diplomacy class, Sarge? He's a diplomat already!

Oh, I see what you mean.

#2  I think that Bolton should be named head talks for the U.S. Sounds like he knows what what. But maybe he needs a little diplomacy class?

#1  Hey Bolton can't say those things! They've just had an election so how could Kim be a tyrannical dictator?

Only the Norks are allowed to use derogatory language to describe other countries when they're threatening to turn them into a sea of fire.
