Excited
That’s right, a Thai politician (not to be confused with the infamous fighting Taiwanese politicians) kicked and punched a TV journalist on-air during an interview for asking confrontational questions.
Known as Thailand’s King of Sex, Chuwit Kamolvisit (also reported as Chuvit Kamolvisit) was once the country’s biggest massage parlor owner who went on form his own political party to run for office.
[He] later apologised for losing his temper and assaulting host Visarn Dilokwanich after the interview.
“I admit I did it. I couldn’t stand it when he humiliated me on air,” said Chuvit, a stocky former bodybuilder who owned a strip of girly bars before entering politics a few years ago.
“What I did was a petty crime and I am happy to pay the fine for elbowing him and kicking him,” Chuvit said at his campaign headquarters next to a park he built and gave to the public. [full story]
He ended up losing the election, admitting that the assault might have negatively affected the outcome.

I'm Taiwanese and I think it's rather embarrassing. I wouldn't mind as much if our politicians fought well though. I'd like to see some body slams and solid chin music. What we have now is borderline slapfest.

Call me crazy, but I always enjoy seeing those Taiwanese legislature fights - it gives the government a certain uniqueness and shows the passion of a thriving democracy. :-)
