Poltical Debate in Jordan Escalates Quickly into Old Fashioned Duel

Just a hunch, but I'm guessing they've got more serious shit to argue about than things like universal healthcare and corporate tax loopholes. Like, if I had to guess, the man on the left definitely shorted the man on the right a cow or two in exchange for agreeing to do this debate.

All-star move by that guy ducking the shoe toss behind the desk by the way. No hesitation whatsoever, desk up, head down. Something tells me this guys a veteran of these political debates.

Guy with the gun on the other hand...good luck getting elected. I'd say pulling a gun on national television put you behind the 8 ball right away, and you didn't help yourself from there just waving the thing around and then sheepishly putting it back in your pocket...if you're going to take action, take action, if there's one thing the public hates it's indecisiveness, you pull a gun on TV you have to use it, bottom line. Shamed your whole village.
