Actual caption: "Kinda hard to keep lookin' cool in such an environment, isn't it?"

Interestingly, judging from tody's shasetsu page, the editors of the Nihon Keizai Shimbun find themselves seriously unamused at Matsuoka's Diet statements of the other day.

I guess the Nikkei folks think that their readership might have a hangup about someone trying to blow off charges of accounting fraud.

I can't imagine why.
