Ozawa for PM!

You wait 50 years for something interesting to happen in Japanese politics, and bugger me if two things happen in as many days. Our Man is of course referring to the two great Ichiro Ozawa pronouncements:

1. Americans are stupid, British are conniving bastards, but democracy kinda works.

2. He may seek to overthrow the currently unelected prime minister to replace him with, er, himself.

Now, he may be right on the first point. And incidentally, Our Man's army of twitter followers with decent Japanese reckon he was badly translated, but the gist was there.

In fact, he's a lot more interesting than your average unelected prime minister (and believe me boys, they are all average), so Our Man says:

Ozawa for PM! Abiko can't get enough of you.

Yeah we British might be unlikeable but we sure can march, according to Ozawa.

But for getting this response/veiled threat from a bunch of cyber-wingnuts he gets my vote:

"Dear Mr. Ozawa. You may think Americans are ’simple-minded’ and ‘mono-cellular’, but at least we were smart enough to build the A-Bomb. Just something to think about. That is all."

Yeah Ozawa! How many A-Bombs have you made?!
None, that's how many! In your face!!
