The gang's all here

Prayers for wisdom for them all. Leading a nation is tough stuff...

This is the best the Japanese voters can come up with.

They really aren't interested in making big changes.

The way the three women are hidden away behind the front row with all the other men ranged behind them is kind of telling. They really do look like they are being kept around to pour the tea. What a rabble!

Missing is Charlie Brown.

Funeral procession??

The gang's all here

I love how these very conservative and traditionalist men are wearing those Western clothing.

So much for cool biz

What an absolute joke Japanese politics is. Rather than prancing around on red carpets with your smug faces and your western formal dress, get Fukushima sorted out. Get the corruption sorted out that exists throughout your big businesses. Sort out the economy. Just sort your country out, because it's a big fat mess.

The excitement, energy, and hope exuding from these guys is just too much to handle. You sure know how to pick them, Japan.

So bizarre how they wear penguin-style suits from the 1920's

Gang is definitely the right word here.

Looks like they came from a piano concert.

Gang is exactly the right word.

This is the best the Japanese voters can come up with.

Average age 89.

Looks like they're headed to a wedding. Where's the bride?

Ministers seem all same for decades though said they changed.

Did they really need to point out which one was Abe?

do you have any idea how much time it takes to dress up like that? only for show.

Not-so-cool biz.

Haven't I seen this photo before?

'beautiful japan'…. in western costume!!!!!

Its a bit like something out of Kill Bill...

Ishihara is looking more and more like an angry doll.

Peguins walking down the stairs in goose step!
