Gawd I wish we had a Parliament.....
I'm watching British Parliament on CSPAN 2, and Tony Blair being handed his ass over Iraq......
Wouldn't you love to see * standing in front of a Parliament, getting slapped (even more) senseless by Russ Feingold and Barbara Lee?

:popcorn:

1. He couldn't handle it...seriously....
there is no way * could stand up in the Parliament and debate several people without having his ass handed to him.
As a matter of fact, I think it would end in * losing his fucking mind(what little of it he has left)

4. That's the big advantage in parliamentary systems
The leader is obligated to stand in front of the legislative branch and actually answer questions from the opposition.

This never happens in the US-style Congress.
