While you were singing Elvis songs with President Bush...

There's a terrible irony at hand here. Did you manage to see Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi last week singing Elvis Presley songs at Graceland with President Bush? While he was out having fun with Bushie, Kim Jong-il was back in Koizumi's corner of the world planning all manner of missile havoc. While I firmly believe (some) world leaders are human and have hobbies such as singing Elvis songs with everybody's favorite president and should furthermore be allowed to enjoy these hobbies, I also believe poor Koizumi got caught with his pants down as a world leader. He wasn't working very hard last week, but Kim Jong-il sure was! He's pretty lucky Japan is still around after that... But hey, sweet sunglasses, Junichiro. The Pop Whore thinks you have what it takes to make it on American Idol...as the next William Hung!

Here's footage of his Elvis hip-swivel:

Apparently, this singing in public thing is nothing new for the Japanese Prime Minister. Here's footage of him singing on CNN back in the Bill Hemmer days.
