Fukuda will formally announce his cabinet Tuesday and is expected to retain many of Abe's appointees...

With that he'll be out in 6 months, and so begins a new revolving door of Prime Ministers.

Taro was by far the better choice (out of a bunch of bad choices).

I just hope the commies never come close to gaining power in Japan.

There was a Yasuo Fukuda who used to teach at the old Washington Judo Club on Florida Ave. NE in DC in the early 60s while working on a masters degree at GW University. Not somebody who was going to take Osao Okano or anything like that but had the signature of all judoka from Keo i.e. 100% ambidextrous i.e. anything at all he could do to one side he could do equally well to the other and was fun to watch for that reason.
