North Korea Burns John Kerry

Kerry takes it on the chin

North Korea is calling out Secretary of State John Kerry for having a "hideous lantern jaw" and for being a "wolf donning the mask of sheep," according to the Associated Press.

Personal attacks are becoming the norm for North Korea, who earlier this year called President Obama a "monkey" and the president of South Korea a "prostitute."

In its latest personal attack on a prominent official from a rival country, North Korea on Wednesday called U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry a wolf with a "hideous lantern jaw."

Wednesday's slur against Kerry appeared only in a Korean-language dispatch, suggesting it was meant to rally anti-U.S. sentiment and burnish the leadership's image domestically at a time when Washington and Seoul are conducting annual military drills that Pyongyang calls an invasion rehearsal.

An unidentified policy department spokesman at the North Korean defense commission, led by leader Kim Jong Un, described Kerry as a "wolf donning the mask of sheep."
