George Galloway, British MP, lambastes a US Senator (Norm Coleman, I believe) in no uncertain terms.
Damn, I wish we had a straight talker like him in Washington.
Update: I loved a comment I saw on one blog: Schwarzenegger amendment? Bring it on! Run George Galloway!
The Guardian has an article detailing Mr. Galloway’s Excellent Adventure.
Everyone’s favorite bit:
Before the hearing began, the Respect MP for Bethnal Green and Bow even had some scorn left over to bestow generously upon the pro-war writer Christopher Hitchens. “You’re a drink-soaked former Trotskyist popinjay,” Mr Galloway in formed him. “Your hands are shaking. You badly need another drink,” he added later, ignoring Mr Hitchens’s questions and staring intently ahead. “And you’re a drink-soaked …” Eventually Mr Hitchens gave up. “You’re a real thug, aren’t you?” he hissed, stalking away.
The Times of London has the complete transcript.
Oh, we LOVE Norm . This is the lovely man who was once a Democrat, switched teams, became Bush’s go to guy, took advantage of Paul Wellstone’s death in a plane crash two weeks before the election and now is Minnesota’s junior senator. He’s a real peach.
