Argentine leaders throw chairs, punches in public




(AP) BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Argentine lawmakers pushed, punched and threw chairs at each other during a raucous session to choose the president of a northern province's lower house.

At least 10 legislators were slightly injured during the chaotic scuffle in Chaco, 620 miles (1,000 kilometers) north of the capital, Buenos Aires.

Chaco Gov. Jorge Capitanich said he regrets the violence, which broke out when officials from the governing party tried to stop opposition lawmakers from entering a session of the legislature.

Legislators were seen on local television hurling plastic chairs and pushing and shouting at each other.

Awwww, so maybe nobody here really cares about Chaco politics, but that's just priceless.

Don't feel bad. I'm Latina and I don't know much about Latin American politics. Clearly the shame from not knowing enough about my origins should have killed me by now.

I'm sure it would be a pretty normal punch-up and then Rahm Emanuel would storm in wearing a leotard and fuck shit up.

America could take lessons from this.

And we could get some WWF guys to commentate:

"Oooh, and there's Boehner with a chair! Oh shit, he's seen Rahm coming, he's dropped the chair and is away from the podium, sprinting up the aisle and -OHHHH, Grayson with a clothesline!"

C-SPAN's ratings would go through the roof.

American congress would be better if it was more like this. Maybe not as severe, but at least something different than the current passive-aggressive style.
