Nuclear-power-loving, science-and-progress-obsessed sister to a resident of Japan sez: Wow, what a special stick he is. Perhaps too impolitic a man to be involved in, er, politics.

Ooohhhh, Ishihara takes the cake, yo. Some serious shit of all stripes has come out of his mouth (xenophobic, homophobic, misogynistic, and in general asinine, such as claiming the earthquake and typhoon were a punishment from God right after they happened), and yet he keeps getting elected.

This is what happens when you repeatedly re-elect a known douchebag. He's the Rick Perry of Japan.
