Not full of sh*t? No one plays politics like the Japanese politicians. They are completely full of sh*t, which is part of the reason no one votes in elections.

Bit of a mistake there buddy. It was Abe Shinzo who previously resigned with the health issues. Koizumi ran the country for something like 5 years.

I don't think Fukuda realized how tough things would be without the LDP being able to do whatever the hell they want while he was in charge. Bit off a little more than he could chew and decided to bail...

I used to know this young girl who seemed to have the biggest crush on Koizumi. The guy is old enough to be her grandfather. I still wonder what happened to her. I knew her on another message board.

Ok so I guess what I meant was that their politics don't have such a potential effect on the rest of the world. Therefore I can take it less seriously or totally ignore it if I have to.
In my opinion, the more that rests on a certain political processes shoulders, the more full of sh*t it will be.

ps. When I use the term "full of sh*t", i'm talking about lies, scandals and propaganda that is made to seduce the public, rather than for a politicians personal gain.
