Battle of Wills

Itsuo Inouye, The Associated Press

Japanese lawmakers in the upper house got into a shoving match July 25 over a bill that would send Japanese troops to help with the reconstruction of Iraq. Yuko Mori, a female opposition lawmaker (center), swarms over the crowd in an effort to reach a chairman involved in the bill's passage. The ruling party planned to approve the bill.

I refuse to comment because it would blow my image as a wimp. My self image has suffered enough by what I thought.

Oh, you think you are big enough to make me, you little wimp? Come on. Come over here and make me. I dare you. You little fruitcake. You little fruitcake. I said you are a fruitcake.
In the Diet, it looks like one of those folks in the picture would have fed Fortney some fruitcake, in response to such a challenge.

The woman in white, seated in the lower right -- she remains composed,"The ASS out of the FACE, ass out of face, please, BEE-OTCH!" That right arm is a defensive ninja maneuver.

The smiling male face, farthest right in the pic, "Me ruv the fighting of the cat!"

The guy in front of her, the one with half-scowl half-smile, her arm is reaching across his shoulder, "Oh, yeah! When she comes across, all her slit-skirt are belong to me!"
