There was a bit of a shoving match in Japan’s lower house of parliament the other day, and I have to say that Liberal Party member Yuko Mori put on a fine show.
Above are the only online pics I’ve been able to find to link to. One I saw in the paper was similar to the top pic on the link, but had the microphone between her thighs in a manner that … well, it started me thinking that Japanese lawmakers must be big anime fans, too.
I’m also a bit disillusioned by the fighting styles in the lower two pictures. I don’t see anyone making 10-foot-high triple backflips. What’s wrong? Can’t Japan’s Diet afford trampolines?
Thats what I was thinking. No Katanas, No shurikens, No Ninjas, no spinning backkicks, (The guy with the leg looks like he might be trying some neet-o judo flip though), Have movies been lying to me all this time?
The Tokyo Police Cataclysm Division must have them on a watch list in case of any more ‘unscheduled damage events’. 
It’s good to see a parliamentary picture like that, that’s not from Taiwan.
It sure beats hell out of “If you have the fortitude or the gonads…”
I wonder if she has Japanese Nipples of Fury™?
By the way, she’s 48 and has three kids.

Where was Vampire Hunter D? He would have gotten that shoving match under control immediately. And if any of the legislators happened to be vampires, he’d fix that, too.
hit ‘submit’ too soon.
Anyway, now that’s what I call aging… well, not exactly gracefully, judging by the pictures, but damn fine all the same.
I’m glad that I’m not the only one from which that photo elicited a “hubba-hubba.”
I may have something of a parliamentary/legislative fetish, though. See these two? My long-standing political admiration and support for them both, (but especially Joy, who’s had much longer to work her mojo on me,) gets hopelessly muddled up with other, less civic-minded feelings, especially when they touch each other like that.
I am well aware that I should be ashamed of myself, thank-you. I’m sure any points accrued for primarily being attracted by their ideals and accomplishments got instantly vapourized the instant that the unbidden image of the three of us in a bath-tub presented itself to my mind’s eye.
(“Yeah, baby! Who’s riding?” “Your riding, Joy! Your riding.”)
/slinks back under rock.
I got so agitated I spoojed the link.
I like that guy on the lower left clinging on to the leg in what looks like evident glee. Legislation time!
D’s great, but to handle this situation you need the likes of say, Vash the Stampede, to simultaneously shoot random objects, shout “Love and Peace” and look up Yuko Mori’s dress.
… wonders how many times she can mention poor Vash on this board…
Damn, you miss a lot of important international news if you don’t read the papers for a few days, don’t you?
For 48, she has kept her legs in nice shape!
