| Description | Former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi stuck his head into a political brouhaha Thursday to rap Prime Minister Taro Aso for his imprudent remarks on postal privatization, threatening to stir up even more anti-Aso sentiment.
"As for the prime minister's recent remarks, they make me laugh. I am just stunned rather than being angry," the Lower House lawmaker told members of a Liberal Democratic Party panel on postal privatization.
Koizumi, one of the most popular prime ministers ever, also gave Aso a veiled warning.
Although some of the LDP's younger members have been told to refrain from "shooting (Aso) in the back," Koizumi said, Aso now seems to be "shooting from the front at those who (face an election)." |
