That's... Intresting. What an idiot though if he honestly did it and sent his cameramen to the scene though.

Hehe. I don't know why you thought that tag was necessary.

Also in response to the article: What.

 Wait, parliamentary immunity protects you from murder accusations? Now all I can imagine is Brazil having a bunch of serial killer politicians.

Tell me the idea of Patrick Leahy and Orrin Hatch running around Zodiac style doesn't make you laugh like Hell.

I really wish I could say it didn't. I'll never look at Congress the same again.

If congressmen are immune to prosecution, why haven't any of them come up with the idea to bring a gun Congress to make sure other congressmen vote like they do?

Eventually, Congress sessions will devolve into gunfights, and those live broadcasts of sessions will take over the whole reality show market, causing Big Brother, American idol and all those crap shows to wither away and die.

Damn, this is too awesome to not happen. Everybody, write to your congressman NOW!

Yeah, but US Congressmen get diplomatic immunity too. I think pretty much every country gives immunity to it's politicians.

Yes, but it was revoked.  You can revoke congressional immunity, which doesn't really make any sense when you think about it.

It's like right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  You have all three of those rights and they're unalienable, but if you commit crimes you lose them.

You can't be prosecuted as a politician, but if you commit a crime you lose that.
