Just before my last exchange with George Galloway, which occurred on the set of Bill Maher's show in Los Angeles in mid-September, I was approached by a representative of the program and asked if I planned to repeat my challenge to Galloway on air. That challengewould he sign an affidavit saying that he had never discussed Oil-for-Food monies with Tariq Aziz?I had already made on a public stage in New York. Maher's producers had been asked, obviously by a nervous Galloway, to find out whether I had brought such an affidavit along with me. I replied that this was not necessary, since his public denial to me was on the record and had been broadcast, and since it further confirmed the apparent perjury that he had committed in front of the U.S. Senate on May 17, 2005. I added that I wanted no further contact with Galloway until I could have the opportunity of reviewing his prison diaries.

Best quote is the close
Yet this is the man who received wall-to-wall good press for insulting the Senate subcommittee in May, and who was later the subject of a fawning puff piece in the New York Times, and who was lionized by the anti-war movement when he came on a mendacious and demagogic tour of the country last month. I wonder if any of those who furnished him a platform will now have the grace to admit that they were hosting a man who is not just a pimp for fascism but one of its prostitutes as well.
I say his (C.H.) debate with Galloway on C-Span a month ago. If you get a chance, you should see it.
Galloway has often referred in moist terms to his friend Aziz, and now this is his reward.
I don't know why. I guess the phrase "moist terms" just struck me as funny.
I didn't get to see it but I will try. I did read about what happened there.
Not to prejudge, but Galloway's wife's name may be a clue to Galloway's short sighted leanings! He is a traitor to his kind.
:-) The man can write.
It's time to start thinking about removing Galloway's belt, shoe strings and any other objects he might use to harm himself.
LOL! It's not prejudging as the documentation has been pouring out of Iraq on Galloway for 2 years.
On a more serious note, he is a traitor, but not to his kind. His kind are now on trial in Iraq. Would that we could hand him over to the Iraqis. Now.
I thought the $150,000 was a clue.
I doubt he could muster up that much honor.
Quite the contrary. He will come back and bluster his way through a denial even though the evidence is clear that he accepted bribes. er payments.
Until he's doing his perp walk and someone says "tell it to the judge".
I agree.
Yup, That last line was a great one. I liked this one too...."I wanted no further contact with Galloway until I could have the opportunity of reviewing his prison diaries."
:-) I liked that one too.
Definitely the pull quote....
Let him! Heck, I'm thinking of sending him a length of rope as a gift! The guy doesn't even qualify as "pond scum."

The debate was a classic. Galloway basically yelled throughout most of the time that he had to speak. His oratory sounded like Jesse Jackson doing an impression of Groundskeeper Willie and Winston Churchill. He did get a couple of good jabs in, which Hitchens admitted. But on substance, Hitchens slammed him.
How long before we find out that Scott Ritter was on the take as well?
