People feel pretty close to Aso. They can feel that Aso shares the common people's mindset, as he said he reads weekly comic books just like Japanese salarymen.

It's great to know that we'll possibly have a prime minister who reads comic books. I hope he announces this to the other world leaders when they meet to discuss issues such as oil procurement and nuclear proliferation.

notice this guy is from the entertainment industry. Can't contradict him that he's feeling close to him - Aso will be more entertaining than any of his predecessors. Beating all records of moronic statements...
