Apparently, things got downright nasty during yesterday's heated Senate debate over whether to expel glass-slashing Senator Hiram Monserrate. Brooklyn's own Kevin Parker, one of the eight senators who voted against expelling a fellow lawmaker because he assaulted his girlfriend, almost started throwing punches to prove his point. The episode began with Parker "yelling and cursing" at Senator Diane Savino during last night's closed-door Democratic conference, a source tells Elizabeth Benjamin at the Daily News. When the salty talk didn't get his message across, he reportedly charged at her!

"We're not going to do anything with the Republicans! F*#! the Republicans!" shouted Parker, who was indicted for assaulting a photographer last year. Luckily for Savino, Senator Jeff Klein sacked up to defend her. Then Parker reportedly asked him: "You want a piece of me?" Klein shot back: "If that's what it takes to stop this, then yes." Good grief, if Paterson ever gets Ultimate Fighting legalized, it's going to mean an extra revenue stream for some of these guys.

The confrontation apparently ended without anybody getting a glass smashed in their face, and Klein issued this statement, "Maybe I’m old fashioned, but while everyone’s talking about civility in Albany being dead, I’m happy to report that I’m going to keep chivalry very much alive." And Savino admitted "things got a little heated" and "words were exchanged between Kevin and I. He has since apologized profusely." See, Parker's sorry! Who says there's no comity in Albany?
