Um, right. So, why are we letting her anywhere near the Prime Minister? Oh, because she's a former Takarazuka actress and a regular on Japanese TV shows! Of course. It's all good now.

If you ever sit and watch Japanese TV, some of the programs, especially with the "talents" that are regulars, come off as daytime TV-worthy characters. It's just the normal fare of things over in Japan, and no one really seems to find it odd at all.

Scratch that. I think I might have to start a "Mrs. Hatoyama's batshit insane phrase of the week" column.
