#1 Other than Mommy and Daddy, is there anyone who has escaped their notice and failed to get the "annihilation" threat letter? I believe you have to present it to get into the ball.

#2 Its size and shape of the table negotiations here. They caved on the multilateral talks and are trying to get something in return to save face. Therefore they savage Bolton, hoping we'll replace him. White House said that Bush will make the final determination, and he does not seem to be rushing it. While the clock ticks on for DPRK

#3 I'm not even going to bother rating this one.

Metaphorically speaking, Bolton shot an arrow into the NKor forest. In response comes this loud, hysterical bellow of fact-free invective and insult. I think he got someone's doinker.

*Yawns* Commies. They react like this when you get too close to the truth, in order to intimidate you into shutting up. It's a good indicator of their desperation.

They're desperate.

#4 Ben: great comment, I was just about to say size-of-the-table myself!!!! It's the Den Beste influence at work. Spot on!

Ptah: true, it's getting a bit yahwn BUT he did say : human scum and bloodsucker.

Not only is this an interesting new addition but it will make me proud to be a US ally when the US present none other than the honourable Bolton as their representative at the multilateral talks.

His first name isn't Michael is it?

Every time I hear this on the news I start thinking of... sittin' on the dock of the bay...

then I imagine htis flimsy junket moored about 100 meters off shore on which some little Korean men are jumping up and down waving their arms, pointing and shouting and throwing things into the water in his general direction as he sits and sings and watches the sun set.

#5 Boy, THAT sure got their panties in a bunch, didn't it? Practically watering the lawn with all that spittle...

#6 If Bolton is a US Mandarin, does he wear odd looking robes and stuff?

#7 A caravan is bound to go ahead though dogs bark.

Ya know I'll bet the dawgs have learned not to bark in Nork.

#8 Wow... no Juche, no Songun, no "Dear Leader", no "sea of fire"... How utterly prosaic. Far below the standards of moon-howling I've come to expect from KCNA. Obviously they did not ask the right questions. No dirt and twig ration for that reporter today.

#9 Notice he never denied there being royalty in PY, prisons chock full of the oppressed, and raging poverty.

#10 ...Actually, there's days when I miss the kind of DPRK propaganda we used to listen to when I was in the ROK. Stories about how thousands of men die of heart attacks daily because the assembly lines are speeded up too fast, or how a family of ten must share a single 'frankerfurter'...those were the days. Of course, the Great Leader was in charge then, and the standards were a bit different.
All kidding aside, I've got to agree with Ptah - Mr. Bolton's comments must have touched a serious nerve over there somewhere.

#11 Mr. (Mad Mike) Boulton ought to fire off another salvo of vituperationâ¢ and we will take some more readings of NORK response. This is an interesting experiment.

#12 "but have not yet found out such rude human scum as Bolton."

I was ready to take PDRK off the Axis of Evil list for just a moment when my hopes were raised that they were talking about Michael...

I'm just pleased that our press didn't get all worked up over our "provocative" statements. When Pyongyang threatens to turn Seoul into a "sea of fire" that is just there way of saying "let's talk."

Oh wait, Chris Matthews just--at this moment--wondered if we should be saying harsh things on the eve of talks. Lord help us.
