Kaieda Wept in Diet – 海江田の泣きべそ

Facing with edgy questions by LDP repeatedly, Banri Kaieda Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry wept in Diet today displaying his mental fragility. Boys used to be taught in the old days never to show tears to others, and it was a tradition in Japan, or the culture with the sense of shame. (So shame on Kaieda.) I would say to him, “if you have time to cry, work more with it!”
We assume a Dietman to execute tough manipulation of politics, and in contrast with such a weak mind, how could Tepco or even the Ministry be governed? If he is already too stressed, he should resign before the Cabinet gives up because the worst possible scenario would be his suicide with dispair, and it may not necessarily trigger P.M. Kan’s resignation.


自民党のしつこい質問に海江田経産大臣が泣き出してしまった。国会の場でひ弱過ぎじゃない？男子人前で涙を見せずと昔は教わった。恥の文化では、恥ずかしいこと。元々が添え物みたいな人だったけど、「泣く暇があったら、その分仕事しろ！」と僕は言いたい。
政治家ならタフな行動力と政治手腕を期待する訳だが、これでは東電はおろか役人だって統制できないですよ。百歩譲ってもう相当精神的に追い詰められているというのなら、菅首相の退陣なんか待たずに辞任した方が良い。つぶれて自殺したところで、それで菅が辞める保証もないのだから。鳩の脳天気さでも見習って。
