Lebanese Politician Smackdown
Those Lebanese sure know how to party

Rival Lebanese politicians came to blows live on national television over the crisis in neighboring Syria, hurling insults — and chairs — at each other before the show cut to a commercial break.
Fayez Shukr, representing the Baath Party — which has links to Syrian President Bashar Assad’s party of the same name — and opposition MP Mustafa Alloush locked horns over Assad’s credibility in a late night talk show Monday on Lebanon’s MTV station.
“You don’t listen. I wish you would listen to what Assad says,” said Shukr, to which Alloush responded: “I heard him. I don’t believe a word he says.”
“Who are you to believe or not believe him?” Shukr said, prompting Alloush to call Assad a “liar.”
The two then proceeded to hurl insults and swear at one another, before Shukr chucked a glass of water over the talk show host’s head at the MP.
Papers and insults flying, both men then jumped out of their seats and charged at each other, with one picking up a chair as their bewildered host urged them to calm down before the show went off the air
Apparently, the knife at the end of that video was part of a commercial, and not the main event.

That’s one nutty political talk show. Kind of puts the intensity level of American Sunday morning talk shows like “Meet the Press” to shame.
