Political put downs and diplomatic slurs

The Fifth Floor

Available for over a year

This week North Korea's leader called his southern counterpart a capricious prostitute, her government retaliated saying that his was not a real country anyway, and should cease to exist. But it's not just this part of the world where leaders can trade with loose tongues. We're talking about political slurs and their uses and misuses with Fifth floor political prowlers Kasim Kayira and Famil Ismailov but first, some examples to get us going.
