ワシントンポスト紙の記事原文

By far the biggest loser of the extravaganza was the hapless (不幸な、不運な、数奇な、哀れな) and (in the opinion of some Obama administration officials) increasingly loopy (頭のおかしい、気の狂った、ばかげた、愚かな) Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama. He reportedly requested but got no bilateral. The only consolation prize was that he got an "unofficial" meeting during Monday night's working dinner. Maybe somewhere between the main course and dessert?

A rich man's son, Hatoyama has impressed Obama administration officials with his unreliability on a major issue dividing Japan and the United States: the future of a Marine Corps air station in Okinawa. Hatoyama promised Obama twice that he'd solve the issue. According to a long-standing agreement with Japan, the Futenma air base is supposed to be moved to an isolated part of Okinawa. (It now sits in the middle of a city of more than 80,000.)

But Hatoyama's party, the Democratic Party of Japan, said it wanted to reexamine the agreement and to propose a different plan. It is supposed to do that by May. So far, nothing has come in over the transom. Uh, Yukio, you're supposed to be an ally, remember? Saved you countless billions with that expensive U.S. nuclear umbrella? Still buy Toyotas and such?

ここまでひどい言われ方とは知らなかった。
これが中道右派のワシントンポスト紙の記事だ。
完全にアホ扱いである。
米国の首都ワシントンの一流紙がこの書き方をするとは、日本国民は真剣に次期政権を考えなくてはならないと同時に、現政権のとくに普天間に対するアホな施策にストップをかけるべきだ。（テニアンに行った旅費は返還請求すべきだろう。）
