Some lawmakers refuse to speak to each other, one took to the floor to read his children a Dr. Seuss bedtime story while other, more senior members are begging, "can't we just get along?!"

Which got us thinking. Hmmmm, children, fighting, playground ... puppets!!!

Yep, time to call in the puppets for some much-needed comic relief.
