...generated controversy. Besides Fukuda and Okamoto, members of a freshman class of 26 female DPJ lawmakers include Kayoko Isogai, a temp worker who was unemployed when she stood for election, and Mieko Tanaka, a former secretary and actress who had a small role in an erotic horror film, Blind Beast vs. Killer Dwarf. The group has been criticized for being little more than pretty faces unqualified to hold public office. During campaigning, some newspapers dubbed them "Ozawa's princesses" because most were recruited to run for parliament by Ichiro Ozawa, the DPJ's 67-year-old secretary general and chief...

Charlie Gasparino's rsum is jam-packed: on-air editor for CNBC and contributor to the Daily Beast, the New York Post and Forbes. But at least one Wall Street executive has a different description: "A monumental asshole, who added dramatically to the financial instability during '08 and early '09." Gasparino's news bulletins (or rumormongering, depending on your view) on CNBC during that period often moved the market. He's well aware of the animosity.
