Former Japanese Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa has died.  Sad news for the Miyazawa family, obviously.  But also sad news for all us political trivia junkies.  Miyazawa was the last living head of state to get his lap vomited in by former President Bush.

Still a great way to be remembered.  It’s like winning the Coney Island Nathan’s hot dog eating contest, except completely different.

That 1992 incident remains topical to this way, even noted by Dan Bartlett earlier this month while discussing the current President Bush:

I’m not sure if it’s a stomach virus yet, or something like that, but is not feeling well to the stomach. And I guess he didn’t want to follow in the footsteps of his father in Asia.

Ah, indeed.  As they say in China, yangtze nuthin’ yet!

President George Bush
