Prime Minister's Questions
Gore Vidal once said that the average British schoolboy is more articulate than the average American politician, and you can't help but wonder if he's got a point if you tune in to "Prime Minister's Questions" on C-Span Sunday nights at 9.
Every week the British House of Commons is in session, the Prime Minister is obligated to take questions from members of Parliament. It's rowdy and packed full of verbal jousting.
Really, it's great fun to watch.
And if you're one of those insatiable junkies of British politics who can name all the British prime ministers since World War II (and their party affiliation, no less) you can watch "Prime Minister's Questions" live on C-Span2 on Wednesdays at 7 a.m.
