North Korea brands US politician 'human scum'

North Korea has labelled the incoming head of the United States' House Foreign Affairs Committee as "human scum" and an "anti-communist fanatic" - but is not apparently up to speed on Ileana Ros-Lehtinen's background - or her gender.

By Julian Ryall in Tokyo 7:00AM GMT 23 Dec 2010

In a blistering attack on the Republican politician from Florida, the state-run Korean Central News Agency said Ms Ros-Lehtinen's calls for "strong countermeasures" against Pyongyang for its artillery attack on an island off South Korea in November were a "malignant vituperation against the dignified DPRK and its system."

Ms Ros-Lehtinen has also urged the State Department to list North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism and described its as a "rogue regime."

Pyongyang has not taken too kindly to her descriptions, but made the mistake of assuming its detractor was a man.

"He is a political illiterate, ignorant of the background against which the nuclear issue cropped up on the Korean Peninsula and the processes to settle it," KCNA stated in its editorial. "It is natural to hear such rubbish from him."

Note to the KFR:

If you think using words like “malignant vituperation” makes you sound smart, it doesn’t. It just makes me think you’re making words up.

Or that your doctor is about to recomend agressive chemo and radiation treatment. Actually, that kind of fits.

Hey Pyongyang; obviously we are not as stupid as you look! Just puts the finishing touch on an obviously idiotic rant by a bunch of aged children.

I’d be honored to be publicly labeled an ‘anti-Communist fanatic’ by the government of North Korea.

Maybe they could raise some cash by peddling such a designation to the Western public, with an accompanying certificate suitable for framing.

Forcing citizens into starvation and death while government leaders feast on imported delicacies is not dignified.

I hope Ms Ros-Lehtinen projects very large images of starving North Korean children behind her every time she chairs a meeting

Sounds like the NorKors are on the editorial staff of the NYT.
