The Big Fight

In a curious set of circumstances, the BBC covered 3 instances of brawling between politicians in Turkey, Georgia, and the Ukraine.  These were punching and grappling not unlike the typical bar fight.  The Georgian event was on national television.  'Tis the Season of elections.  US politicians never seem to get that fired up over their elections, and it might be nice to see them explode into fisticuffs now and again just to be sure they were not being politically correct.  After four years up on the Hill, I know they want to do it, but would be afraid to be on camera whacking another person equal in stature.  The rule of the House was "Never speak ill of a seated Congressman" and I'm sure it extends to fistfights as well.  A shame in some ways.  It looks like an adventure we would hate to miss.
