Default N. Korea: Clinton 'funny lady, by no means intelligent'

N. Korea: Clinton 'funny lady, by no means intelligent'
Story Highlights
N. Korea launches personal attack on U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton

Spokesman called Clinton "by no means intelligent" and a "funny lady"

She had earlier likened leadership in Pyongyang to "small children"

Communist state made clear that stalled nuclear talks are effectively finished
BANGKOK, Thailand (CNN) -- North Korea launched a scathing personal attack on U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Thursday after she likened the leadership in Pyongyang to "small children and unruly teenagers and people who are demanding attention."

At a meeting of southeast Asian nations in Phuket, Thailand, a North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman blasted Clinton for what he called a "spate of vulgar remarks unbecoming for her position everywhere she went since she was sworn in," according to the state-run KCNA news agency.

The spokesman called Clinton "by no means intelligent" and a "funny lady."

"Sometimes she looks like a primary schoolgirl and sometimes a pensioner going shopping," the statement said.

The verbal tussle between the two countries culminated with the reclusive communist state making it clear that six-party nuclear talks, stalled for over a year, were effectively finished.

Clinton had earlier warned that North Korea's refusal to discuss its nuclear program could escalate tensions and provoke an arms race in northeast Asia.

"I was gratified by how many countries from throughout the region spoke up and expressed directly to the North Korea delegation their concerns over the provocative behavior we have seen over the last few months," Clinton said at a meeting of southeast Asian nations in Phuket, Thailand.

"Unfortunately, the North Korean delegation offered only an insistent refusal to recognize that North Korea has been on the wrong course," she said. "They expressed no willingness to pursue the path of denuclearization. In their presentation today, they evinced no willingness to pursue the path of denuclearization, and that was troubling not only to the United States, but to the region and the international community."

Her remarks came after the North Koreans issued their blunt statement in response to Clinton's interview earlier in the week with ABC News.

Before Clinton's remarks in Phuket on Thursday, the North Korean delegation attempted to take the podium to speak to the media. But it was turned away by security guards.

North Korea tested a nuclear device in May and fired seven ballistic missiles earlier this month in defiance of a U.N. resolution.

At the Association of Southeast Asian Nations meeting, Clinton said she had unanimous support for U.N. Resolution 1874, passed by the Security Council in June. It tightened sanctions on North Korea, imposing an embargo on the shipment of arms from that nation.

The North protested the resolution by saying it would enrich uranium and weaponize plutonium, according to KCNA. When enriched to a high degree, uranium can be used as weapons-grade material. Plutonium can be used in atomic bombs.

Clinton said the United States will continue to push North Korea to come to the table. She said a "full normalization of relationships" was possible if North Korea agreed to a verifiable dismantling of its nuclear program.

"The United States and its allies and partners cannot accept a North Korea that tries to maintain nuclear weapons, to launch ballistic missiles or to proliferate nuclear materials," Clinton said. "We are committed to the verifiable denuclearization of the Korean peninsula in a peaceful manner."

The United States has also expressed concern that military cooperation between North Korea and Myanmar could destabilize the region.

CNN's Dan Rivers contributed to this report from Bangkok, Thailand.

not defending clinton, but north korea is like a kid who found a gun in their parent's room. they are still pissed off and full of angst, but resort to computer hacking and name calling because they are scared shitless of the reprocussions of them using it.

Paco has them nailed, little commie extortionists. Obama already has a stimulus pacifier planned for them.

But they did nail Hillary. She isnt someone who needs be representing the foreign interest of the US.

You know she could tell them 'It takes a village& and then send the Marines to burn it down...I like that approach, but ah, Phuket! who cares?

so they both called each other a few grade school names and N Korea used it as an excuse to stop the talks which is what they wanted to do anyway?

Big deal. I think she was right they are like teenagers who stamp their feet until they get what they want......attention.

If she actually said that, it was a stupid move on her part.

I think most people don't object to her based on her appearance....rather that she is an arrogant cunt.

In the case of North Korea, however, she's spot on...they're desperate and will do ANYTHING for attention (read fuel oil and food aid).
