Political Brawl Series: Korean Legislative Takedown (AKA Veto By Judo)
Political debate can get heated at the best of times, and every once in a blue moon, politicians will spurn the verbal joust for a good ole donnybrook. Because we all know nothing builds respect for political institutions like brawling legislators, Apoliticus is featuring a continued series on political brawls that are sure to get you to tune in to C-span over The Fight Network.
To all aspiring MMA fighters: look no further than the South Korean national assembly for the best take-down methods going. The politician featured here vetoes his opponent’s manliness with a nifty and (amazingly fluid) collar scruff grab and flip. If you listen very closely, you can almost hear someone say “FINISH HIM”.
Democracy isn’t dead in Korea, just don’t mess with the right honorable representative of kick ass or you’ll end up on yours.

I’d personally would have been happy if during the SOTU, Sotomayor had elbowed Alito in the eye.
We think that the health care debate might be best resolved in a senate equivalent of the Royal Rumble.
