 SEOUL - North Korea said the US ambassador to Seoul, who labelled Pyongyang âa criminal regimeâ, was the worst ambassador in history and should be recalled, its official media reported on Wednesday.
| Now there's some old-time spittle. |
Alexander Vershbow, the US ambassador to South Korea, said at a forum on Dec. 7 that Pyongyang was engaged in the sale of weapons and illicit narcotics and Washington would not lift sanctions against it as long as those activities continue. âThis is a criminal regime,â he said.
It issued three critical comments of Vershbowâs comments on Tuesday calling him the âgovernor generalâ of a colony and on Wednesday took their criticism to a new level.
âAmbassador Vershbow is the most bitchy and malignant ambassador in history,â said a commentary in the state-run Minju Joson newspaper. âWe doubt whether Ambassador Vershbow has enough knowledge about the DPRK to make such comments,â the commentary said, according to a Korea-language report on the Northâs official KCNA news agency cited by South Koreaâs Yonhap news agency.
| Bitchy and malignant? I like him already! |
In a shorter report carried in English on KCNA, North Korea misspelled the ambassadorâs name, calling him âBershbowâ. âThe Korean nation will certainly suffer greater misfortune if Bershbow is allowed to behave as he pleases. He had better apologise for his malarkey to the DPRK and go back to his country as early as possible,â the paper said.
| I'm surprised that the Norks know the word 'malarkey'. Perhaps ex-Sgt. Jenkins taught the propaganda writers some English. |
