Wow.  It turns out there are unbalanced politicians outside of North America.  I can't imagine an American politician pulling off the same thing and expect to get re-elected.

A politician in Japan is accused of pretending to spend $40,000 on plane tickets, and pocketing the cash instead.  So on Tuesday he held a press conference to explain himself . . . but ended up crying and WAILING through the whole thing.

The video is in Japanese, but according to reports, he was yelling that the media doesn't understand what's going on, and he really DID use the money to buy plane tickets . . . even though he hasn't been able to provide any receipts.
