'Teflon' Ozawa portrait hung at Diet with other old-timers

This is almost funny. A politician who seems to all intent and purposes to model himself on former disgraced Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi has 'paid' to have his own portrait painted and hung on the walls on the Lower House.

Apparently the offer of having your portrait hung in the Diet building is open to any political who notches up 25 years of (dis)service.

I could understand if they'd hung it in the members bar, on top of the dartboard.
