At any rate, the Koizumi bit got a lot of play over here in the States. Probably more than it deserved, but hey.. How often do you get to hear the Prime Minister of Japan sing the first bar to “Love Me Tender”? And at least it’s a better moment to be remembered for than how Bush I is remembered in Japan.

But, hey, maybe Bush could arrange for Roh to sit in on a seesion of the Park Tong-sun trial.

Hell we Canuckle-heads elected Trudeau and Cretien for something like seventy five years apiece because they weren’t afraid to loosen up sometimes.
