North Korea blasts incoming Foreign Affairs chairwoman as 'human scum'

[davidinalameda]

North Korea's official news agency blasted the incoming chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee -- while mistaking her for a chairman.

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.), a Cuban immigrant, has been a regular target of dictator Fidel Castro and his Latin American allies Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Bolivian President Evo Morales.

But the Korean Central News Agency, the mouthpiece of Pyongyang in a country with no free media, said Wednesday that Ros-Lehtinen's calls for North Korea to be relisted as a state sponsor of terrorism were "intolerable as it is malignant vituperation against the dignified DPRK and its system."

"Ros, man representing the U.S. conservative hard-liners, is human scum as he earned ill-fame as an anti-communist fanatic," the KCNA wrote. "He is a political illiterate ignorant of the background against which the nuclear issue cropped up on the Korean Peninsula and the processes to settle it.

4. Story has it backwards.

From the article ...

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.), a Cuban immigrant, has been a regular target of dictator Fidel Castro and his Latin American allies Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Bolivian President Evo Morales.

It is exactly the other way around. "La Loba" (Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen) has made her political career out of making Fidel Castro her target, and more recently she's added hugo Chavez and Evo Morales to her target list.

She ran her first campaign in Miami-Dade under the slogan "FREE ORLANDO BOSCH" (the Cuban exile terrorist who, along with Luis Posada, admitted to bombing a Cuban civilian airliner killing all aboard, as well as masterminding several deadly bombing campaigns in Cuba and elsewhere against Cubans).

Her most famous foot-in-mouth moment ...

How can an elected Congresswoman encourage assassinations?
