"Wha? This no karaoke!?"

Oh, Japan. Even though your finance minister shows up drunk, we still love you. In fact, we love you long time.

Japan's finance minister abruptly resigned Tuesday over allegations he made a drunken appearance at a G-7 news conference, shaking Prime Minister Taro Aso's already deeply unpopular government.


Nakagawa has been under fire over allegations he appeared to be drunk at a news conference following the G-7 finance ministers meeting in Rome over the weekend. TV footage showed him slurring his speech and looking drowsy and confused.

Nakagawa has said he took cold medicine, which, along with jet lag, made him groggy.

Ah, yes. The "cold medicine" made him act all loopy. We get ya. *wink, wink* It's okay, dude. Those meetings must be boring as shit. I would sneak some grog in too. Though, not if I was going to have to give a speech.
