North Korea’s government hauled out some unusual insults Friday to denounce U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner after the Colorado Republican called Kim Jong Un, the country’s young dictator, a “whack job” and a “crazed maniac” amid heightening nuclear tensions.

Calling Gardner “a man mixed in with human dirt … who has lost basic judgment and body hair,” a spokesman for Pyongyang’s foreign ministry said the senator had “perpetrated wicked blasphemy against our supreme dignity,” the state-run Korean Central News Agency reported.

In Korean culture, is accusing someone of "losing body hair" some sort of special insult?

It’s rumored he fed his uncle to the dogs. I dunno, he’s been looking pretty portly.

Cory Gardner speaking out loud what every decent North Korean citizen has been thinking for the past 20 years . . . about father and son. The whole family has been dropped on their head one too many times at birth.

"You're a whack job!"

"Oh yeah? Well, you've lost your body hair!"

"Damn, you really are a whack job."

Not to demean Koreans. But Asians can’t hope to compete with Europeans in the body hair department.

This is all the “tough man” talk Kim wants his people to hear so they will think he's a strong man taking on the leaders of the world. He's been loosing their loyalty for quite some time so taking on the big boys of the world , kidnapping people, etc. is all about attempts to get dignitaries to acknowledge him before his people.....thus legitimizing Kim as a world leader which to date he has not been able to do in the eyes of the people.....

The “senator had “perpetrated wicked blasphemy against our supreme dignity,” the state-run Korean Central News Agency reported”.

“Our supreme fat boy” is what they wanted to say. I really don’t think Trump should talk with fat boy and give him that prestige. North Korea isn’t about to change because loosening the choke hold on the people will lose the regime’s grip on power.

what every decent North Korean citizen has been thinking for the past 20 years......You are a bit mistaken. In 1973 or 1974 I had to babysit a NK defector to hospital, dinner, haircuts, clothes etc. and he truly believed everything he had been told. He lived in a worker’s paradise, he was more educated, he had more rights than Americans, his clothing was superior, etc, etc. I hated the guy for his ignorance but did what I was told. I took him to a SK grocery store to get a pack of cigarrettes and he looked at all the food, merchandise, products, etc. and scornfully asked “But where do the REAL people shop? They can’t come in these staged stores, can they?” When he finally realized this WAS reality he almost was over come by shock. He would barely allow Dr.s, nurses, EMT’s to help him overcome his reaction. I was glad. I was off that detail.

How do you say she’s crazier than I am in Korean?

My guess is that when they said that Cory was "a man mixed in with human dirt," a more literal translation would have indeed been "poo poo head."

When I met Cory Gardner at an appearance at the local Republican headquarters, the first word that came to my mind was "oily."

I think they're using Babel Fish to translate U.S. news articles........

I also hear his mother was a hamster, and his father smelt of elderberries.
