When Politicians Attack!

by Robert Koehler on February 17, 2009

Over at Cracked.com, someone has made a list of the 17 most violent political brawls (with Youtube video footage).

And wouldn’t you know, Korean parliamentarians earned three spots. Daehanminguk, mansei!

Political fisticuffs rival Taiwan also earned three spots, including one cat fight.

Korea: The Hub of Political Fisticuffs

The last time I tried to compare politics in Korea with Thailand and Taiwan I got into a bit of trouble.

Is the ordering significant? Taiwan has the 5th, 4th and 3rd spots while Korea’s highest position is 8th.

The mexican brawl was the most impressive; those guys were actually throwing decent punches.

I actually was familiar with the Alabama guy. He frequented our campus while I was in college.

Korea Number 1 Fighting!

#1 is a guy throwing a chair? They obviously didn’t look at the whole tape of the wacky Korean legislators. How could that ever top all those crotch shots and flying shoes?
