Barney Frank on Hecling, yes, I love it

[nadinbrzezinski]

can we get some House of Parliament drama?

Ask the PM sessions are down right hysterical...

And that is a good way to handle it... a no issue...

1. I sort of enjoyed it at the time, and did think of Parliament...

but after I thought about it, I was pissed. It helps if the people doing the heckling are even somewhat likable, and clever in their heckling- like the Brits.

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. I thought of many a heckler from the back bench

I went, SO FUCKING WHAT?

Excuse me french...

Ignore him... that will frustrate him even more.

[virgogal]

2. Yes those Brits know how to express themselves==I love it.

4. I would prefer the Singapore Parliament model

Fistfights, room filling brawls, storming the speaker when they dont like the way things are going.

We could probably balance the budget if it was on a pay per view channel.

5. I think the Italians do that too

you are right, it would make C-SPAN far MORE ENTERTAINING.

7. That would ruin the Republican's claim to be real tough guys...

Because they would get their asses kicked or cry like a baby when they got hit back.

6. in India they beat each other with microphones

8. Imagine the potential

we have not had a descent stabbing or shooting in the US House in over 150 years (why we have the sedate rules we have)

[Warpy]

9. In NM, county board meetings have been known

to erupt in gunfire.

There's something to be said for civility.

However, if the GOP is incapable of it, perhaps Democrats should take the gloves (and the muzzles) off.

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. Well that would be the begining of somethign

pay per view?

And of course this is being snarky about the whole thing

[BuyingThyme]

10. What's this?: Ask the PM sessions are down right hysterical...

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. Imagine if we had that in the US

would make the House and the Senate worth watching.

[lonestarnot]

13. Heckling? I wanted to see fistacuffs! Boring bunch.

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. Hey you gotta start SOMEWHERE

now on a serious note, they either censure him... (yes against the rules), or they plain out play dumb and FULLY ignore it until somebody else does it.

Me, for the entertainment value, ignore it.
