    Hatoyama is probably thinking: "Two more days and you are outta here, bub."

    Aso is thinking, "You look similar to the rubber mask version."

    One interpretation of the above photo.

    Hatoyama to a crying Aso: "You still here. Don't forget to close the door on your way out?"

    Aso (holding out hand): Can I have at least one shake before I leave.

    Hatoyama (hands covering privates): No, man!! Too many TV cameras.

    20min talk?.... guess nothing really happened in the last year.

    I love the photo! Hatoyama is refusing to shake Aso's hand - and why would anyone? Who wants to shake hands with a loser? He and his corrupt, incompetent predecessors have left the new PM with one hell of a mess to try and clean up. It remains to be seen if Hatoyama and his mob can even start to point Japan in the right direction again.

    Back to the family coal mines, Aso. Back to the coal mines where you belong, old man.

    Why isnt the Aso gone already? Why is he sitill there? The election was ages ago. Good riddance to the LDP.

    Most obvious interpretation: Aso is invisible.

  • MeanRingo at 02:24 AM JST - 15th September

    Who is this Aso character? Have I missed something?

    The video of this meeting is hilarious. Aso almost tripped over the small table next to his chair. It was a Homer Simpson moment. Doh!
