To have these people in charge of major ministries was akin to Roh Mu Hyon and his legions of childish, inexperienced leftists at the wheels of power in Seoul. GOOD RIDDANCE.
Probably Kan will take over as PM for a few months, then it will go to Okada, then maybe Maehara. We might even see four Prime Ministers in one year if they really want to screw things up.
Funny thing is, nobody can stand the corrupt LDP, and on the other hand, they cannot stand the Obama-ist DPJ with all their phony "Hope" and "Change".
