The interpreter must have done a good job at telling the joke.

I'm not the biggest Hil-dog fan, but I think she looks quite nice in this picture. I wonder what they were laughing about.

Ms Clinton just laughed at the words of the America's lap dog who assured her that he has no intension to sort out or do "shiwake" on the sympathy budget for the U.S. bases in Japan.

He just asked her if she like to get a drink and hit a love hotel later in the evening.

Foreign Minister Maehara has just related how his mastery of " Speak The English Like President Obama " now enables him, with the greatest of ease, to score flaky, credulous lefty chicks from all over.

Darn.,,,Hillary's back to her fanous "photo faces" again.

So strange to see the hatred some red-blooded American fellas have for an educated woman who doesn't pander to their desire to see them quiet and in the kitchen.

Would this photo be posted if it was Maehara whose mouth was open and Clinton watching with an amused face?

I think he likes her. This relationship is going somewhere.

Maehara studied former PM Mori's English training manual:

Maehara: Who are you?

Hillary: I'm Bill's wife.

Maehara: Me too.

Maybe she is not laughing, maybe she is delighted with something he told her. Maybe he told her a poem.

She might be yawning.

The woman who should have been President. Wonder what she's laughing at?

0 ( +0 / -0 )

No woman should be president just because they are a qualified woman. The most qualified candidate should be president, man or woman.

The loud fake jovial laugh.

It is a good display of the degree of control the US has over Japan.

I wonder what education the average Japanese adult got out of that.

He resembles baseball Daisuke in this photo but I never saw him before. Looking at HC in this picture makes me feel like yawning, maybe because her eyes are closed.

Great photo to Japan and US, but a threat to China and N. Korea.

This photo is saying SAYONARA to Hatoyama and Ozawa who had messed up US/Japan relationship.

Maehara: How's Bill these days? Clinton: Oh you know, same ol Bill. He often says "Hillary, I've got a surprise for you." Then he pulls out a cigar and says "close your eyes and open your mouth." like this. What a clown!

Maehara: Did you notice the bit of whale meat in your bento?

When a person of high rank shares a laughter as the Secretary does here, with open mouth and throat revealed, she is signaling that she feels comfortable relaxed. Add closed eyes and you have “trust”.

I just saw this and thought others here might be interested. On National Geographic Channel on Monday, November 8 they're showing "Inside the State Department". A Nat Geo team followed Hillary around the globe. Here's a quote from the executive producer, Steve Hoggard:

"It is astounding to witness the brutal 16- to 20-hour days worked by Secretary Clinton and her team,” said Steve Hoggard, executive producer, who filmed Clinton on her trips abroad. “They only get a few hours of sleep and are constantly working at a rapid pace traveling from one destination to the next. I have truly been in awe of what they do to represent our county across the globe.”

That's why now she looks like a wreck....

Do you have a specific instance of my error?

Yes. Several in fact. My monitors abroad have alerted them to me.

As far as Japanese politics, the internal workings is not discussed so much.

Please. They are discussed all the time. You should put your ear to the ground more.

In US/Japan relations, I was getting cream info beyond what any Japanese would be privy to.

Sorry. I have seen nothing to indicate this.

Whether I am a guy or not is not of your concern, and besides, I did not write that comment.
