Pickled pink

Thank you thank you. I feel much better now.

Is his suit shining?

There is Hatoyama doing his Mr. Burns impression from The Simpsons.

@combinibento word up!

I bet he will enjoy ordinary life better than being an PM.

He seems pretty happy for someone who's just lost his job. I guess the message here is: when you're on the ropes, call in the umeboshi girls.

""Umeboshi sandwich", and I'll be the shriveled plum. Excellent!!!

eeeexxxcellent

“umeboshi” (pickled plums) Thursday from representatives from a cooperative in Wakayama Prefecture.

Is it JA or rival organisation? Silver man with Golden Girls !

boy he got outta dodge fast!

Yes. I bet it is a load off his mind. Wouldn`t want to be the Japanese PM these days. What an impossible job!

Don't they mean former PM?

He's still PM till tomorrow. Enjoying his last day as PM.

The girl on the left seems to be thinking, "Why are we having a photo op with this failure? My modeling career is ruined due to this embarrassing gig!"

I only have two words for the one who came up with the Mr. Burns analogy...

EXXXXcellent post!

Plums for a lame duck...

So their handing him his 'plums', eh? Didn't think he had any left after the past eight months of conceding to the bureaucrats and the US military.

Please replace center figure and let Naoto Kan enjoy the company of these young and beautiful girls !

Been a long time since he smiled like that
