Looking at his face he is clearly not enjoying it. "for fecks sake, another question, hurry up I have a bounenkai to attend"

He's a national disgrace.

I agree with papigiulio - he obvious wants to split real quick - gotta get back to partying...

He always seems to have this habit of tilting his head to one (particular) side. The good thing is that his mouth ends up horizontal.
Goodlucktoyou
Drunk, awake or hangover?

DeDe Miura,
Whatever party he may be going to, it doesn't look iike he's going to be the life and soul of it!

perfectly representative of the useless, incompetent, tired familial Japanese politician that has ruled Japan since he was born. Not one bit of difference between him and the North Korean Kims

Reporter: "Sir, can you write your own name in Kanji?"
Aso: "I told you not to ask me Kanji questions! Ask me about manga! Mendoukusai! Ask me anything else!"
Reporter: "Okay, sumimasen. Ettooouuu... What do you think about the agreement to not hike the consumption tax on food products?"
Aso: "What? What are you talking about! I said manga! Where's my whisky? I want my nap! Nanteyuuka... no more questions. Regrettable!"

For someone who is a proven failure, he is unbelievably arrogant.

In what way? He treats everyone with great disdain. Every word drips with arrogance, that he is some annointed elite who has to put up with us peons.
Other than that, he's great.

So his style sucks, but otherwise he's doing a great job?

Mukashiyokatta,
In my experience, arrogant people usually are failures.
