I prefer this to our "will the gentleman from South Carolina grant me three minutes to blah, blah, blah..." ; "Without objection, blah, blah, blah" crap.

1. I always loved watching that when I remembered to catch it
The few times I caught it, Tony Blair was still in office, in his early years. I have to wonder if our government would be just a little bit better if we had been able to grill George the same way! :D

2. Question Period in Canada is a riot
American politicians would last 37 seconds if they had to actually answer questions like that. No holds barred, name-calling allowed up to a point. :rofl:

4. It's especially good when Jack Layton's cranky
I saw him do major damage to Peter Van Loan (conservative douchebag) several days in a row last spring. The s.o. had never seen anything like it and couldn't get enough. :rofl:
