You think our Congress is looney tunes? Well you need to get out some. In Taiwan, parliment was considering a law to allow direct flights from Taiwan to China. But some didn't like the idea, so according to Reuters
Lawmakers of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) charged toward the podium and protested noisily to prevent the review of an opposition proposal seeking an end to decades-old curbs on direct air and shipping links with China.
Amid the chaos, DPP deputy Wang Shu-hui snatched the written proposal from an opposition legislator and shoved it into her mouth, television news footage showed.
Wang later spat out the document and tore it up after opposition lawmakers failed to get her to cough it up by pulling her hair.
During the melee, another DPP woman legislator, Chuang Ho-tzu, spat at an opposition colleague.
I guess I can put up with Ted Kennedy and Dick Durbin.
On second thought, nah.
