There was a time I used to laugh smugly about these parliamentary brawls, thinking that similar donnybrooks (including this admittedly awesome one) were safely in America’s past.

I think CSPAN’s ratings would skyrocket if Chuck Schumer, the Senate Minority Leader, were to haul off and slug Mitch “The Tortoise” McConnell, the Senate Majority Leader, in the jaw every once in a while. They could even make it pay-per-view and raise some extra cash for the government.
