SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea has hurled invective at U.S. President George W. Bush for a second day, calling him a political idiot and human trash, and has said six-party talks on Pyongyang's nuclear ambitions appear doomed.

A day earlier, a Foreign Ministry spokesman for the isolated communist state described Bush as a tyrannical imbecile who put Adolf Hitler in the shade and said Pyongyang could see no justification to negotiate with his administration.

Bush had "hurled malignant slanders and calumnies" against the leadership in Pyongyang, the North's official KCNA news agency said in a statement on Tuesday, referring to campaign comments made earlier this month that Pyongyang should be required to disarm.

"It is the greatest tragedy for the U.S. that Bush, a political idiot and human trash, still remains in the presidential office of the world's only superpower, styling himself an emperor of the world," KCNA said.

"Had Bush have even an iota of elementary reason, morality and ability to judge reality as a human being, he would have not dared defile the political system of his dialogue partner so malignantly.

Bush enraged the North shortly after taking office when he called North Korean leader Kim Jong-il a loathsome "pygmy" and then later branded his impoverished nation a member of an "axis of evil" along with Iran and pre-war Iraq.
