[quote]Seemingly fatigued by the tedium of more than 5,000 obscure amendments and the rash mudslinging that comes with late-night sessions, certain lawmakers have been finding it difficult to remain focused on the task at hand.
Socialist Justice Minister Christiane Taubira set the tone on Tuesday when she burst into laughter during a response to a conservative counterpart and was forced to step away from the podium, pinching her nose and shaking her head as she went. The outburst was sparked by the use of a phrase which can refer to a type of excrement. By the time the minister had stopped crying, even the leader of the house was laughing.
Next up, Thomas Thévenoud, who came under harsh criticism from conservatives when he was caught playing Scrabble by another MP. A photo of his tablet game-playing was posted on Twitter, and on closer examination, the first word on the board revealed itself as ‘branleur’, which literally means ‘wanker’ or ‘jerk-off’ and refers to someone who’s lazy.[/quote]
I hope the writers of batman comics use this:
while french forces are in mali, the joker takes over the french government with laughing gas.
The use of phones and tablets seem to make it even easier for representatives to screw off at work. Why aren't those banned from sessions yet?
they're going mad
My British instinct told me they'd be like this! Blasted frenchmen that they are; damn their eyes!
It is funny how this is taking so long, yet the Socialist majority will surely pass Gay Marriage.
Also, the funny part is that French people are too Leftist for Gay Marriage: they do not even think Marriage is valid as anything but an oppressive structure in society.
Man, those Americans sure are backwards, oh wait.

That doesn't even make sense.
The President and his girlfriend refuse to marry. To many French people, marriage is yet another layer of old society that is no longer needed, especially when there are other ways for couple to get the exact same benefits as married couples, under a different title.
