I don't know about that, I think it was more a case of giving the man more rope...

I saw the entire thing through a link and watched it on the internet. People who were watching on television only got Galloway. They did NOT get the reams of evidence proving Galloway did, indeed, take bribes, which was presented prior to his appearance. Coleman had testimony, documents, transcripts, charts all of which were rock-solid.

Even CNN said that Galloway didn't really refute the charges.

The Guardian is trying to make Galloway's rant seem like a victory. It was, instead, the bluster of someone whose goose is cooked.
