...couldn't she have done so without comparing Laura Bush with Hillary Clinton? Hillary did not wear me out. I like a good, strong, intelligent woman. Hillary went on to become the only First Lady elected to the Senate. Did Hillary cause a few moods to darken along the way? You bet.

That cultural aversion to doctors? offices may also be fueled by the fact that as a rule, country doctors are not as up-to-date...
...Minister, Matsuoka Yosuke, walked out of the assembly and likened Japan's fate to that of Christ on the cross - an odd comparison coming from an ultranationalist Japanese who advocated an alliance with Hitler. It was, of course, around that time that the Western image of Japan began to darken; no longer comical copycats waltzing in evening clothes, but modern samurai bent on brutal conquest...
