People seem to forget that political discourse once got so bad we had a war over it. And congressmen also beat each other with sticks.
As I've always said, people romanticize the previous generations' feuds. I bet you 25 years from now, you'll be saying "I remember the days when even in heated debt negotiations, Obama and Boehner could get away and hit up 18 rounds on the links! Could you imagine President Hilton and Speaker Cruise playing golf with each other after a long debate over the Americans In Chinese Indenture Act?"
