TOKYO (AP) - Hikari Ota is doing what he does best on his weekly "news" show: taking aim at Japan's aging lawmakers.
"It's easy to spot them nodding away during parliamentary sessions," he tells the studio audience while a large screen on stage shows a napping lawmaker. "Sometimes they're even dead!"
Ota's treatment of the country's leaders might seem tame by some nation's standards, but in Japan it represents a bold foray into the formerly forbidden territory of political satire.
