1. Not only does he have such a loverly attitude towards women, Aso is also one of the major obstacles to legalizing same-sex marriage in Japan.

2. He is like an expired milk that needs to be thrown away.

3. I wouldn’t call him pretty either. Touché Taro Aso.

4. One of the con of longevity society, someone lives too long.

5. He is literally an Aso.

6. This dude is hilarious. This is what fucking up upwards, corruption, and old money/power looks like.

7. Wtf

8. Open mouth, insert head

9. From the “Who asked” files

10. That’s sad but a true snapshot of those in charge, for the last 66 years. One would think they would learn to NOT air their personal opinions.

11. Lol

12. It’s SO telling that he felt it was completely natural to comment on the foreign minister’s appearance, because she’s a woman.

    It shows how he determines the value of women. Women should be attractive, pleasing to the eye as standard. But she’s a great minister so he’ll let her off. It’s sick.

13. This is classic Aso Taro–the closest thing we will ever get to Donald Trump.

14. The guy might actually have some form of dementia. Then again, he never had a working filter, so it might just be his personality.

15. So much wrong here. First, why does pretty or not matter for job ability of a woman? And she is 70, so again, why would looks be a talking point?

    Finally, I’ll go on record as saying she is an attractive 70 year old and in comparison to Aso at his 83 years of age, she’s doing better than he is.

16. Why the fug dont these old bats just buy a fishing rod and move to Hokkaido

17. Well. I googled her. She isn’t pretty. I’d call her made for the job

18. Francisco is at it again.

    He is the embodiment of all that is wrong with Japanese politics.
