A leader making excuses by belittling others. Typical Kan.

Here's a more typical Kan quote, from March 15 at Tokyo Electric headquarters:

Why are there so many people here? Important matters are decided by five or six people. Quit screwing around! Get a smaller room ready!

The thing is Mr. Helpless happened to be in Tepco's Operations Room, where more than 200 people had stayed up all night the night before dealing with the Fukushima nuclear accident.

Kan-kun thought he was in the Conference Room.

Modern Japan's worst PM. At least Hatoyama-bochan was good for joke material.

can someone tell me the score please?

1-0, for the hermits.

Speaking of 3D, a quick show of hands please: Who else finds the light-level of 3D movies noticeably dark? Been to three so far, and it felt like watching a film thru sunglasses.
