Fledgeling Democracy Takes Our Congressional Catfight Far Too Literally
We linked to the slideshow yesterday, but here’s the Czech Health Minister Smackdown video — subtitled, so you can pretend you’re watching an early Milos Forman film instead of two pasty government officials having a slapfight.

Who needs Congressional Catfight when you have Eastern European Bureaucrat Sissyfight?
Time to have one of our own... I nominate Elaine Chao vs. Alphonso Jackson in Round 1. I'm expecting a 2nd-round KO after a 4-inch Gucci pump heel to Alphonso's dome.

So many awesome things about this, but my faves:
*The way the crowd eggs them on with whistles and applause.
*The fact that this all happened at some kind of dentist convention. That's why nobody went for the right hook to the jaw: they respect teeth too much.

was that a ghostbuster's conference? i'm pretty sure their insignia was hanging up there.

These guys give Eastern European politicians a bad name. I'd like to see them try that shit with Cro Cop.

Before I post a comment, allow me to resolve one purely personal issue here. Thanks.

He was warned in advance! So that makes it right!

Our video person-thing was totally outhustled by the intrepid lensmen. *Smack to the back of the head*
If someone goes out and gets you at arms length like that, you can't just take another swing. You've gotta *deal with that arm,* maybe get inside on the body side of it. Otherwise you just flail around like idiots, totally ruining the dignity of your national government.

There's a sign behind Rath and Macek that reads "Mimoradna valna hromada," which, loosely translated, means "special parliamentary session." Indeed!

Okay, I once asked comment-folk for help in scoring the Presidential bloopers video, but who wants to go in with me in making an international legislative bitchfight video? We see it all too often.
Also, KonstantConsumer, you read my mind re: Ghostbusters.
"Before we discuss Slimer's odd transistion from prankster foe to bus-driving friend, I have a personal issue to settle."
