"White House news release!" joke

Who says nothing interesting ever takes place in these hallowed halls?
Women legislators joined the fray at a June 1994 session of Taiwan's National Assembly, screaming, trading slaps and kicks, and pulling each other's hair.
The violence began when two members of the ruling Nationalist Party poked fun at opposition lawmaker Su Chih-yang after her underwear showed when she sat down.
Nationalist lawmaker Kuo Su-chun berated Su, saying "As a woman you should also review your own behavior."
Accusing Kuo of insinuating that she sat immodestly, Su walked to the podium and slapped her. Four other women joined the fracas, and a fifth collapsed from high blood pressure when she tried to stop it.
