安倍晋三自慰に関する海外の報道ぶり

　色々ですが、概ね、なんにもやらないうちに終わっちゃった内閣ちゅうよな客観的事実のみの報道となってます。

　そんな中で注意を引いたのはFTに引用されているJesper Kollちゅうヘッジファンドの幹部の発言にある「こんなものは武士道ではなくただのヘタレだ!!」ちゅう言葉、そしてNYTの大西哲光の記事。
大西は、理由の一つとして、辞任表明会見以後に健康問題が出て来たことに関して率直に「批判をかわすための仮病だべ？」っと疑義を呈しており、これは大方の思うところに近いんじゃないの？（藁
いずれにしろここ２回引用した彼の記事はどちらも国内の似而非保守や熱湯浴に比べりゃ百万倍マトモですわ。（爆

　ただ、一番辛辣といえばECONOMISTの記事、これは一番最後に上がったのでいましがた読んだばかりですが、のっけから「日本のぱっとしない総理大臣安倍が辞任した。」っすから笑うほかありません。
そして世襲に言及した記事は他にもありますが、この記事だけが、岸信介さんの娘、すなわちダメ晋三の母親の傲岸に言及してます。

　さていつもの小泉・安倍マンセ～が何を書いたか、頭痛に見舞われるのを覚悟の上で行ってきましたがな、わざわざのぞきに。
そしてやっぱり頭痛がしては来ましたが、薄れゆく意識の中でこれだけはコピーしました。（ただし2007/09/12の22:05現在ね）

■2007/09/12 (水) 安倍首相退陣！高笑いするのは金正日と胡錦濤

中国・韓国・ドイツのベテランジャーナリストと２時間にわたって、議論しましたが、最初は、ぎくしゃくしていたのですが、その後ホンネの議論に発展、私は中国に対して、人権問題、一党独裁、コピー問題、とりわけ日本、台湾に対する内政干渉について議論を吹っかけ、かなり白熱しました。

ぶはは。
どこの国の出来事でもすべてソースは日本語メディアの、しかも無料サイトのコピペのあんたがいったいそんな何種類もの国籍の人間と何語で議論したんだ？
もうこの段階で嘘くさい罠。

今回も、せっかく小泉総理が６年近く、政治改革に取り組まれやや光が見えてきた、次は安倍総理が、さらにその路線に乗って改革を進めていくというところで、頓挫してしまいました。
その安倍総理の人の良さを、貪るようにして、見えない手が安倍官邸に忍び寄り骨抜きにしてしまったような気がしてならないからです。

これはこの婆さんのみならず媚米や似而非保守、熱湯浴に共通する傾向なんだが、自分の思わざる方向になにかが動くとすべて中国や北朝鮮の工作だちゅうわけわからん決め球を繰り出すんだが、こりゃ投げる前にボークだろ？
あんたら一体アメリカの工作やロビーイングで動いたことはなんで批判しないの？
そしてね、政界に知己が多いと言う割には（そんなこた信じちゃいないけど）安倍がなんで自民党総裁に慣れたかって背景には無頓着なんだがさ、いつも書くように、あの段階で既に安倍は中国に膝を屈したわけさ。
でアメリカより先に中国に行って臣下の礼をとり、温家宝には国会で国辱的な演説までさせた。
この人等のインチキ臭さや底の浅さってのはこういうところで一番わかりやすいと思わん？

　そしてなにより安倍がかくも早く墜落したのは小泉のツケの重さに耐えかねた結果だろうが？（大爆

■2007/09/12 (水) 安倍総理に軍人や情報員の素質があったなら(2)

もしも安倍総理に、軍人や諜報工作員的資質があったなら・・・
これは安倍総理だけではなく、日本の政治家の大半に該当します。

馬鹿馬鹿しい。
もうここまで来るとカルトと言ってもいいんだろうが、軍人や諜報員や工作員身近にいるとも思えないあんたの言葉ではなおさら馬鹿馬鹿しいわ。
あんたスパイ小説の読み過ぎぢゃね？
でだ、

（筆者註：申し訳ないのですが、私は安倍総理の再起を望んでいません）

他人からのメールを引用したふりをしながらさりげなくこういうことが書いてある。
再起は望まない、つまり乗り換え準備開始ってことなんだろうが、まあ良いでしょう。
ではさ、きょう6本上がってる更新の言いたいことはなんだったわけ？
自分はダメ晋三を支持しないと言いながら、そのダメ晋三を落とした奴は悪いと攻撃、こういうことになるぞ。
それとも水におちた犬にはさりげなく石を投げる、そして成り代わる奴に媚びを売るこういうこと？
けどだめっしょ、タロちゃんは漫画は読んでもお猿さん日記なんか読んでるわけないもんよ。

　最後に余談ですが、今「安倍昭恵のスマイルトーク」をのぞいてみたんだけど、驚いたことにまだありまんがな。
そしてこのニョウボ殿を登場させたついでに書いておくとね、ダメ晋三が尻を割ると予感したのはAPECから帰朝した際の羽田空港のタラップの上の光景さね。
この二人がタラップの前に立った一瞬間後に手を握り合ったんだが、これでもう尻を割るなっと予感した。

Japan's Abe announces resignation（Financial Times）

Shinzo Abe on Wednesday plunged Japan into political crisis by announcing his resignation only two days after parliament reconvened for an extraordinary session. Mr Abe, who refused to quit after July's disastrous defeat in upper house elections, said he had decided to resign on Wednesday because lack of public trust made passage of an anti-terror law extremely difficult. The prime minister, who called an emergency press conference to announce his decision, said he had sought a compromise with the opposition but that Ichiro Ozawa, leader of the Democratic Party of Japan, had refused to see him. Mr Ozawa later denied any such meeting had been requested.

Jesper Koll, president of Tantallon Research Japan, part of an Asian hedge fund, said he was baffled by the timing of Mr Abe's resignation. Referring to the samurai code of honour and bravery that Mr Abe has sometimes invoked during his premiership, he said: "This is not bushido. This is chicken."

Japan's prime minister steps down（Los Angeles Times）

TOKYO -- A weary-looking Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced today that he would quit his office, saying he lacked the necessary support to pursue the agenda that drove his political career. His announcement, delivered in a rambling, nationally televised press conference, came as a surprise.

It was a dismal end to an administration that began with high hopes for Abe, the first Japanese prime minister born after World War II and a leader who was supposed to turn history's page on the national reticence that defined Japan's post-war era. But after a promising start that included a rapprochement with China, Abe's government sank into chaos and confusion wrought by scandals and verbal gaffes. Abe will be able to claim small successes in his nationalist agenda, from revising Japan's basic education law to reflect a more patriotic spirit, to elevating the country's defense establishment to full ministerial rank. But his grander ambitions of reforming Japan's pacifist Constitution foundered as his government, almost from the start, was repeatedly wounded by scandals.

Japanese Premier, Losing Support, Resigns（New York Times）

TOKYO, Sept. 12 - Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, the nationalist leader whose vision of an unapologetic and strong Japan foundered on scandals, incompetence and gaffes, announced abruptly today that he would step down. In a hastily called news conference, Mr. Abe acknowledged that he had lost the public's trust and said he hoped that a new leader would be better able to carry out his policies, including continuing the Japanese military's participation in the war in Afghanistan. The deeply unpopular Mr. Abe had already been written off by Japan's political establishment and media, his political future measured in months. But the timing of the resignation nevertheless stunned Japan. It drew accusations of irresponsibility from inside and outside his party, and threw the country's already tense political situation into further disarray.

Possibly to deflect criticism of the sudden resignation, party officials said that Mr. Abe, 52, the first prime minister born after World War II, was suffering from poor health, though they provided no details.

But the Japanese government has released few details about the nature of its assistance to the United States military, leading many opposition politicians to suggest that Japanese troops are in fact violating the Constitution. Opposition politicians have suggested that Japan has refueled American vessels that were involved, not in Afghanistan, but in Iraq. In addition, they have said that Japan's air force - which has been transporting American troops between Kuwait and Baghdad- has clearly overstepped its stated mission of engaging in humanitarian activities. Opposition politicians are expected to use their new power in the upper house of Parliament to demand more information about these military missions.

Embattled Japanese Premier Announces His Resignation（Washington Post）

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced Wednesday he would resign, ending a year-old government that has suffered a string of damaging scandals and a humiliating electoral defeat.

Abe's resignation marks a rapid fall from power for a prime minister who came into office a year ago with ambitious plans to repair frayed relations with Asian neighbors, revise the 1947 pacifist constitution, and bolster Japan's role in international diplomatic and military affairs.

TOKYO (AP) -- Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced Wednesday he will resign, ending a troubled year-old government that has suffered a string of damaging scandals and a humiliating electoral defeat. Abe said he was quitting to pave the way for ruling and opposition parties to work together to approve the extension of Tokyo's naval mission in support of the U.S.-led operation in Afghanistan. "In the present situation it is difficult to push ahead with effective policies that win the support and trust of the public," Abe said in a nationally televised news conference. "I have decided that we need a change in this situation." Abe, a nationalist whose support rating has plunged to 30 percent, also cited the ruling party's defeat in July 29 elections, in which the opposition took control of the upper house of Parliament.

Japanese prime minister resigns（BBC News）

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has announced he is resigning as Japan's prime minister after a bruising election in July and poor poll ratings. Mr Abe had faced growing calls to go since his Liberal Democrats lost the upper house but had held out, insisting he wanted to push through reforms. He went on TV to say Japan needed a new leader to "fight against terrorism".

Mr Abe, who is seen as a nationalist, took over as prime minister a year ago. At 52, he was Japan's youngest post-war head of government. But his poll ratings plummeted amid a row over pensions and a series of financial scandals involving cabinet ministers.

Cabinet-level resignations and the disastrous defeat at the recent upper house elections left Mr Abe unable to gain momentum on any of his major policies. But despite his many problems, his resignation still deals a heavy blow to the Liberal Democrats.

Ministerpräsident Abe tritt zurück（FAZ.NET）

Nach nur einem Jahr an der Macht hat Shinzo Abe auf einer eilig einberufenen Pressekonferenz seinen Rücktritt vom Amt des Ministerpräsidenten bekanntgegeben. Das Volk brauche eine Führungspersönlichkeit, der es vertrauen könne, sagte Abe am Mittwoch und verwies auf die Niederlage seiner Liberaldemokratischen Partei (LDP) bei der Wahl des Oberhauses Ende Juli. Er zog damit die Konsequenzen aus einem rapiden Popularitätsverlust und einer Serie von Skandalen in seinem Kabinett.

Als Abe im September im vergleichsweise niedrigen Alter von 52 Jahren die Nachfolge des populären Junichiro Koizumi antrat, erntete er frühes Lob für die Beziehungen zu China und Südkorea, das unter Koizumi schwer belastet worden war. Doch schon bald kamen Zweifel an den Führungsqualitäten des stets spröde wirkenden Abe auf. Ihm wurde unter anderem vorgeworfen, bei der Zusammensetzung seiner Regierung fachlich wenig geeignete Parteifreunde bevorzugt zu haben.

Out goes Abe（ECONOMIST）

Japan's unimpressive prime minister, Shinzo Abe, quits
BOWING to the inevitable, but with surprising timing, Shinzo Abe announced his resignation as Japan's prime minister on Wednesday September 12th, just under a year after coming to office. The grandson of a famous post-war prime minister and son of a foreign minister, Mr Abe had his whole life been groomed to be prime minister-not least by his domineering mother, who last year insisted that he bid for his party's leadership while grandees of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) were urging him to bide his time.

Worse, he had a tin ear for the political mood. Voters, it turned out, were not in fact keen on cost-cutting and structural reform, which entailed pain and uncertainty, particularly in rural regions and among the old. Mr Abe, uninterested in domestic policy, failed to reassure them.
