By now, the false ending has become such a
staple of horror movies that you’ll be shocked if the monster/villain doesn’t rise up again when the good guys
are hugging and/or kissing each other. And remember, Hatoyama has been there,
done that. In 2010, he expressed his intention not to run again for a Diet seat
when he left the prime minister’s office, only to change his mind not too long
after. Now, today (Nov. 21), the day after telling his Hokkaido supporters that
he wouldn’t be running again because he wasn’t willing to support a pro-TPP campaign
platform, he is paying a visit to Prime Minister Noda for purposes unknown.
Goshi Hosono, the smooth-talking head of the DPJ Policy Research Council, had the
following to say about that according to Sankei
Shimbun:
His words: If the media reports are true, I suppose
that he chose honorable voluntary retirement.
What may have
been going through his mind: I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
His words: Since it is a very serious decision on the
eve of the election, Mr. Hatoyama is surely going to talk with the prime
minister after making a firm decision.
What may have been
going through his mind: If Hatoyama thinks that Noda is going to let him talk
him into talking him out of retirement, he’s nuts… wait!
