A Few Quick Notes On George Galloway

Although all the European headlines seem to indicate that George Galloway yesterday got the best of the U.S. Senate with his "showdown," any rational observer can see how ridiculous that thought is. The Left-nut blogs are spewing the same thing (i.e. "The general idea is that a pro-war US senator - Norm Coleman - is pursuing revenge tactics against a small number of anti-war politicians").

Rantburg has a good summary of the affair - I don't think a single rational American believes anything Galloway said. Even Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI), one of the Far Left, was frustrated that Galloway never answered a single straightforward question. I suppose that's because there is no defense to accepting bribes from a tyrannical dictator under the ruse that Galloway was actually promoting "peace." Instead, he just spouted his pre-planned statements that the U.S. is evil, it was an illegal war, blah, blah...

I wonder if the Brits will buy it - they seem to be gullible enough.
