One of the most pathetic resignation of the previous years...

Thta means he actually managed to be even more ridiculous than the dunce who resigned for explosive bloody diarrhea...

I would be proud to set this kind of record, but then again, i'm not exactly famous for any kind of stability or aptitude to lead a country or anything anywhere except on a path toward total anihilation...

Good night, Mr. Kan. I can't say it's been a little slice of heaven,
'cause it hasn't.

As pen pushers render politics in this cuntry as nothing more than a Potemkin show for outsiders and a playground for the scions of the fabulously wealthy and pretentious psuedo-inellectual celebrities, I'm sorry to see Kan go. I think he's as close as Japan will ever get in a leading politician with at least some connection to the common punter.

He certainly had a poisoned chalice -- assumes power from a party cannibalizing itself (which shouldn't surprise, given it evolved from canibalization of the LDP), hit by massive earthquake and tsunami that trigger toxic nuclear meltdown that everyone tries to hide from the people and, though he undoubtedly had several faults, he cops all the blame while never shirking the responsibility.

Past performance gives little indication that any of the five candidates seeking to replace him are anywhere near his class. I hope they all prove me wrong.

Maybe Shinsuke Shimada should run for PM now he's lost all his other jobs...?

Noda ... oh great.

While Maehara, Mabuchi, and Kaieda all clearly stated their intention to reduce reliance on nuclear power and work towards clean, renewable energy, Noda, when asked the same questions, simply barfed up the age-old repeated-ad-nauseum j-pol bullshit about how the issue needed "serious consideration"* while adding that nuclear power would be "necessary for Japan's future."

Please, oh please prove me wrong, but I can't see this guy improving things anytime soon.

Definitely the worst pick of the bunch IMO. But whatever. Like we've discussed before all we can look forward to is more of the same stalemate and a new guy a few months down the line.
I predict this guy is going to say some right wing bullshit over the next few months that will 'strain' relations with Korea and Japan. Watch as the ship sinks a little lower.

In his defense, the Far East War Crimes Tribunal was seriously, seriously flawed, so I can kinda see where he was coming from.

Yeah, like the U.S. in Vietnam, perhaps? Any of the belligerents in the absolutely senseless Congo Wars? Nah, unfortunately it doesn't always work that way at all.

Judging from appearances only he looks like the kind of buffoon who belonged in the Abe Cabinet.

To me the thing that gets me is the entire process of picking a leader used by the Democratic Party is that democratic it ain't. A leadership convention can and should be used as a way to boost interest in the party. It is therfore befitting of a party to stretch out the process and open it up as much as possible to all party members. Have them tour the country debate issues and get people energized. Instead we witness something resembling a shareholders meeting done as quickly as possible to prevent disruptions by gangsters.

Vietnam? The media calls it a loss for the US, but fails to note that the military was ordered to pull out. If there was a loss, it fell on the government. They agreed to a truce with the North Vietnamese in Paris and ordered the pull out of military. The brilliant Washingtonites then showed their further expertise to gather votes from the anti-war crowd by banning all money and military assistance to our allies, the South Vietnamese, which, upon passage, enabled the North Vietnamese to immediately violate the peace accord and invade and capture the land and government of the South.
The US Congress lost the war, not the military.

Box Scores:
Government of North Vietnam: 1 - Congress of the US-0;
Blown save: Kissinger.

VC and North Vietnam regulars: 1.5 million - US Military -55,000.

... is exactly what it is. It's an inside joke that has nothing at all to do with the populace, no matter how much they're suffering.

Ask people up here in Miyagi or Iwate or Fukushima (or just about anywhere for that matter) what they think of the election and the most frequent answer you'll get is "not interested." "The government doesn't give a shit about us so why should we care?"

The government is out of touch and can't see past the end of their noses, and the people feel abandoned by the government yet they can't do anything about it. Things may seem stagnant on the surface, but I see this as a very volatile situation that could lead to big trouble.

Actually I think I'm more scared of what could happen politically than I am of radiation from Fukushima.

well... i told my inlaws that kan resigned... they said he didnt... i told them to read the news paper... apparently it wasn't on the front page... wow

also asked my niece (12 year old) who were the last 3 prim ministers and she could only say Kan cause i had mentioned it...

When i was a kid... we had to remember all the presidents back to when our parents were born for a homework assignment. mind you that it wasn't that hard, but i forgot half of them after a month.

Noda's assessment of himself during the 2011 election for DPJ President: "I'll never be a goldfish in a scarlet robe, but like a loach in muddy waters. I'll work hard for the people, to move politics forward,"

According to Wikipedia, a loach is an eel-like, bottom-dwelling scavenger that will conceal itself out of nervousness.
