Oh he was so wasted! When he said 会見で迷言 泥, I about died! He was slurring his 迷's like crazy... .

Didn't anyone think maybe, just maybe...he shouldn't be interviewed? How drunk were the handlers who thought THIS was a good idea?

I'd be drunk too if I was the finance minister of Anywhere.

That said, things must be really bad in Japan.

He'll be hitting those cold meds hard, lol.

Apparently he said it was cold meds and jet lag ... and then he resigned.

Didn't we see his name on that list of Bernie Madoff clients? ;);)

[normita]

He's outta here!

His aide should have cancelled the press conference if he couldn't function. Don't know why they went on with it.
