Nose-picking lawmaker to shout his last good-bye



TAIPEI (Reuters) - Taiwan's cabinet will soon lose one of its more colorful members who was notorious for sleeping in parliament, shouting at legislators, picking his nose in public and shoving a journalist. Tu Cheng-sheng, education minister since 2004, will step down next month along with current President Chen Shui-bian.
"According to Eastern tradition and Taiwan culture, you could say that these actions were hard to accept," said Liu Chin-hsu, secretary-general of the National Teachers' Association.
The cabinet of President-elect Ma Ying-jeou is shaping up as a group of technocrats rather than political firebrands.
Tu, 63, a former National Palace Museum director, magazine editor and visiting Harvard University scholar, was filmed sleeping at an October 2007 parliament meeting.
He was filmed deliberately picking his nose in public as a reaction to criticism for dozing off.
