"Members of Congress have been working hard to become more courteous. The House of Representatives, you may recall, is where Pete Stark called a female colleague a whore and Dick Armey renamed Barney Frank as Barney Fag. True, this is nothing compared to the Taiwanese Parliament, where they've been known to have out and out fistfights, but that's only because Jesse Ventura is a governor and not a member of Congress. So far."
