"A cruel and bloodthirsty beast"

Dick Cheney as described by an unnamed North Korean Foreign Ministry through the North Korean News Agency.

But North Korea said Thursday that the remarks by Cheney, "boss of the hawkish hard-liners, revealed the true colors of this group steering the implementation of the policy of the Bush administration."

The North also leveled a bitter personal attack on Cheney, saying he was "hated as the most cruel monster and bloodthirsty beast as he has drenched various parts of the world in blood."

Wow. Outstanding even for the NoKors who aren't afraid of hyperbole.

Judge a man by his enemies.
