I'm annoyed that he let himself be browbeaten by the Chairman.

We really need more people in Congress yelling at each other on the floor and getting into fistfights. I love the occasional video clips that come out of some parliaments. All this fake bullshit our Congress engages in about pretending that even the most ignorant of shit they say deserves some sort of respect is annoying. We need far less "respect my authority" and for more "the honorable Senator can kiss my ass" out of our legislature.

I do like the Freudian slip by the Chairman at 1:05 though: "but to interrupt breaks the comedy of what we're trying..." He knows very well what they are doing is all a farce put on for the cameras.

It sounded like "comedy," but he probably really said "comity."

Oh. Well that's less interesting.
