| Hillary Clinton not intelligent says North Korea |
| 2009-07-23 |
| North Korea on Thursday hit back at comments by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, describing her in an unusually personal attack as not intelligent and a "funny lady". A foreign ministry spokesman quoted by the communist state's official news agency accused Clinton of making "a spate of vulgar remarks unbecoming for her position everywhere she went since she was sworn in". "We cannot but regard Mrs Clinton as a funny lady as she likes to utter such rhetoric, unaware of the elementary etiquette in the international community," the spokesman added in a statement. "Sometimes she looks like a primary schoolgirl and sometimes a pensioner going shopping." The North took particular umbrage at recent comments by Clinton likening Pyongyang's recent missile launches to the behaviour of an unruly attention-seeking teenager. "Her words suggest that she is by no means intelligent," the statement said, adding that Pyongyang is protecting itself against "the US hostile policy and nuclear threat, not to attract anyone's attention". Clinton could make a contribution to US foreign policy "only when she has understanding of the world", it said. At a regional security forum in the Thai resort of Phuket on Thursday, Clinton urged members to enforce the UN sanctions imposed against the North for its nuclear and missile tests. Later Thursday, she was due to say the US and its partners will move forward on a package of economic incentives and opportunities including normalising relations in return for the North's "irreversible denuclearisation". A North Korean delegate in Phuket described the package as "nonsense" and urged the United States to drop what he termed its hostile policy. |

| #6 That picture on the left scares me. I'll make a copy of it and hang it in my closet to scare away mice. I doubt I'd need anything else. |

| #3 Perhaps the Norks could offer Hillary some diet tips and work-out routines to shed those thunder thighs. |
