North Korea on Saturday called President Bush a "hooligan" and said it expected no solution of the standoff over its nuclear program during his administration. The comments by North Korea's Foreign Ministry spokesman followed a White House news conference Thursday in which Bush described North Korean leader Kim Jong Il as a "tyrant" and a "dangerous person." "Bush is a hooligan bereft of any personality as a human being ... and a Philistine whom we can never deal with," the ministry spokesman said Saturday, according to the North's official Korean Central News Agency. North Korea "does not expect any solution to the nuclear issue or any progress in (North Korea)-U.S. relations during his term," the unnamed spokesman said. "Bush is, indeed, a world dictator whose hands are stained with the blood shed by innocent civilians."
