Apparently everything is fair game in politics - everything including your looks.
North Korea called U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry a wolf with a "hideous lantern jaw" Wednesday, according to the Associated Press.
But who was it that called Kerry a wolf with a hideous lantern jaw?
The answer to that question would be an unidentified policy department spokesman attending Kim Jong Un's North Korean defense commission. But he didn't stop there. According to AP, he also said Kerry was a "wolf donning the mask of a sheep."
But is there reason behind North Korea's harsh words?
The spokesman accused Kerry of playing a "childish masque" after the U.S. and South Korea went ahead with their military drills and after Kerry said he wanted to see peace on the Korean Peninsula, according to IBT. And the U.S. or South Korea didn't listen to North Korea when they demanded the military drills they call, "invasion rehearsal," be stopped. According to the U.S. and South Korea, the yearly drills are conducted simply for defensive purposes.
And that's not all North Korea's ticked off about.
They also didn't like Kerry's congratulatory message to Korea on the 69th anniversary of its liberation, according to IBT.
"...Kerry 'congratulated' the Koreans on this seven decade-long history of shame and tragedy. Can there be more unbearable mockery and insult to the Korean nation that this?" a statement said in the Korean Central News Agency.
The childish jaw comment only appeared in a Korean-language media outlet, according to AP. AP believes it must be to gather negative opinions against the U.S. and to hurt Kerry's image.
But this isn't the first time North Korea has made offensive comments about politicians. Take, for example, the time they called President Barack Obama a monkey and South Korean President Park Geun-hye a prostitute in April, according to the IB Times.
And they will even attack their own. North Korea's Central News Agency said this about Jang Song Thaek, Kim Jong Un's uncle: "Despicable human scum Jang, who was worse than a dog, perpetrated thrice-cursed acts of treachery in betrayal of such profound trust and warmest paternal love shown by the party and the leader for him," according to AP.
But South Korea isn't innocent in the "name calling." According to AP, South Korea has often pictured North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as a pig in rallies.
