"Some of the political sting of the word "nationalization" may already have dissipated, given the public statements in favor of some form of temporary government-mediated restructuring from the likes of Alan Greenspan and even some Republican senators. Citigroup's request that the government become a stakeholder owning 40 percent of its common stock would seem to be a preemptive admission that the bank will not pass the "stress test" due to begin this week. So perhaps this is some kind of kabuki... (Salon)
Blaming Obama for the stock market crash Feb 24, 2009
So perhaps this is some kind of kabuki dance in which both sides know that the ultimate resolution will be quasi-nationalization, but want to get to that point without Wall Street as a whole losing its mind over the specter of the second coming of V.

Lessons in heroism from the maestros Feb 21, 2009
The orchestra's playing was truly beautiful, and it was a joy for the audience to watch Maestro Yazaki conducting by "dancing" to the tune, resembling the graceful movements of a kabuki (Japanese opera) player.

Here of course I must risk the wrath of the spoiler cops, whose vigilance is even sillier than usual when you're talking about a movie whose every movement is as foreordained as Kabuki theater performed in a Calvinist church.
