Victim of Saddam makes Galloway shut up (Galloway alert!)

Mrs Raper had spent much of the week trying to catch up with the Left-wing Labour MP to discuss his anti-war pro-Saddam stance. The last 48 hours had, in particular, been frustrating as the MP assiduously avoided her efforts to speak to him.

She turned her sights on Mr Galloway last week when the MP called on British troops not to fight and urged Arab leaders to "stand by the Iraqi people". He described Tony Blair and George Bush as "wolves" and said: "The soldiers are lions led by donkeys, sent to kill and be killed."

Mrs Raper was keen to make him hear her views. Despite his many appearances on anti-war platforms and in the media, however, the Labour MP for Glasgow Kelvin was elusive.

So, like all good activists, she went to his Westminster office to question him informally. Mr Galloway ducked down into an underground passage when he saw her waiting and drove off in his Mercedes.

Does anyone other than me see the story line from Animal Farm in all this? "Remember all animals are equal it's just that some animals are more equal than others."

Mrs Raper tried another tack. She went to visit him at his three-storey house in south London. Mr Galloway didn't answer her taps on the door, although his car was parked in the driveway.

LOL, this article demonstrates how far the cowards (liberals) will go to avoid THE TRUTH.

First in their creed:  "thou shall not let any FACT disrupt your ALTER REALITY".

I hope someone punches him in the nose.

The line forms behind John Malkovich.

Hitler was as much of a socialist as Saddam. Why does the left despise Hitler so much?

Roy Jenkins lost this seat to Galloway in 1987. How was someone as far left-wing as Galloway able to get the nod from the Labour Party at the time? And why did the voters choose him over the very well-known Jenkins?

Orwell was a Brit, right? No doubt the reporter writing this story has ready Orwell in the past. Thanks for pointing this out, although the theme was familiar.

What I wonder is if Jerry Nadler can be hanged, or will he just break the rope.

What I wonder is if Jerry Nadler can be hanged, or will he just break the rope.

Remember that a lot of people refer to Nadler as Jabba the Butt. I suspect that "the Butt" will in the end suffer at the hands of the voters and then the massive coronary infarction.

[SandRat]

....and how did we get shifted from a discussion thread with literary allegories on Orwell with political commentary needling in a friendly way a British Labourite MP to Jerry Nadler?

[Stultis]

Here's a good one we missed somehow.

[RightOnline]

The only thing I want to know is.........why isn't this sphinctre in prison???

[AnAmericanMother]

Didn't Nadler have his stomach stapled?

And, if so, is he still Jabba the Butt? And, if so, HOW?

Perhaps this woman could get an interview with Jane Fonda and full court press as the tour begins here in America.

This man is dispicable...and probably profited in the oil for food program.

WIsh there were a way to get this article to jane, a woman whose mind refused to develop.

Wow. Confronted by one small woman armed only with questions, Galloway runs away like a frightened little kindergarten girl.
