Aso retracts remarks against Kamikawa

 there are "various opinions and thoughts in society."

Yes. Then express yours and lodge a protest against this jerk's "opinions and thoughts".

Silly, ugly, old botchan, with no accomplishments.

Anyone have a background of Taro Aso's former utterances, to help us judge whether this is genuine? Or is this a shuffle-time tap-dance from an experienced politician, who knows how to get out of tight jams?

Seems even an old rich politician can learn new tricks, that's a good sign!

Because that makes things go away when one retracts their remarks….

making remarks that make fun of the age or appearance of others and make them feel uncomfortable."

I definitely held my tongue when Suga san was prime minister.

Get shot of the old git. He's been a lability for decades.

What's said is said and what's on the internet stays there forever. What's not known tho, is will this dinosaur ever retire?

Time to be put out to pasture.

Japan's version of Trump!

Taro Aso is a rude supercilious conceited over bearing misogynist.

Aso retracts remarks against Kamikawa

What a load of old cobblers.

Retraction?

That is classic Aso blow hard ill-mannered disrespectful impertinence.

Born with a sneering superiority complex, all through his life.

Blame the voters who keep him employed at 83.

Hold that thought for a few moments Redemption.

Aso, factions, slush funds, buying voter influence, a youth wandering aimlessly staring into a world dominated by social media, smart phone, politically lifeless, apathetic, blank expression without a care in the world.

We're sqrewed.

he has taken criticism seriously and withdrawn his comments.

Yeah, that's not how it works.

But then again, no punishments will come towards Aso, as usual.

So what does it matter anyway?

How does this joker even live with himself everyday?

Aso’s remarks, like his earwax on the carpet of the Diet are indelible, never to be erased…

"Blame the voters who keep him employed at 83."

Yes they are quite foolish electing this disgusting politician who should be retired...

He's not in the minority. This is how most of them think. He just isn't afraid to say it.
