I bet Aso will brush Hillary off and do the important talking with Bill Clinton

Ha!

He'll probably assume Hillary's there to top up his and Bill's sake glasses. Just like when my friend had a dinner in her honour and... ah, there's no point taking the trouble to type…

But, we do not live in a prefect world and these things are going to keep on happening.
