FIGHT! FIGHT! Japanese Diet rumbles!

[ShaneGR]

Hey, I found this picture. I know it's the Japanese Parliament (Diet) but I don't know what the cause of the fight was! What's going on here?

1. this happens a lot

I am not sure which one has hair pulling brawls all the time
but some of the parliaments in Asia are fist fights from the
git go. :)

3. I would pay to see Dennis Kucinich punch Delay in the face

2. Is it recent?

I haven't heard about a scrap in eastern politics for quite a while.

6. I really don't know

I came across the pic in another forum

13. Yea, i remember the story from earlier this year.... it was about Iraq

the decision to send some Japanese troops to Iraq... which I guess breaks a long standing policy of not deploying troops for anything but defense. (If I recall correctly.)

Only trace I can still find is a blog : http://www.hellinahandbasket.net/archives/000145.html

5. I was thinking the same thing

Is it wrong of me to tilt my head, so I can try and look up her skirt?

7. Mary Landeau??

10. I wish things were that active in our congress

I heard that the House of Commons also gets pretty rowdy too. Maybe if Congress was like that people would pay attention to politics.

11. Didn't Jerry Springer run for Congress?

I know he used to be Mayor of Cincinatti. You may not like his show, but he is a progressive Dem.

[ShaneGR]

12. He WILL run for Senate in 06

Bet on it. Ohio.

BTW, our College Dems are having on campus to Akron on the 16th if anyone is in Ohio.
