Galloway's Baghdad Christmas (with Tariq Aziz)

The Herald (Scotland) ^ | April 25, 2003

Hey, George, have a drumstick and six million dollars!"

This is priceless!

[Grampa Dave]

Yes, it would be nice if Shermy had to change the title of this bump list to:

GALLOWAY/DNC/LEFTY MEDIOT LIST!

Galloway's still in Portugal, I see. You know, with all this attention and now Aziz in custody, George may try to make a break for it. Hope someone's got Galloway under surveillance...

[Grampa Dave]

I'm sure that he is being watched by MI6 and a few graduates of SAS.

They may want him to run and leave a paper trail which could bring more into this fiasco for Galloway, the left wing and the pro Islamofacists.

Mr Galloway added: "Having spent all of Christmas Day with the very top political leaders in Iraq, why on earth the next day would I want to have a meeting with a junior intelligence officer to discuss issues as alleged in that so-called document?

"It just doesn't bear any logical examination. Why would I raise these matters with a junior intelligence official who then has to write a memo to his superior, who then has to write another memo to the leadership, when I had spent the previous day in a private house with the second most important man in the country and then later in the evening with a collection of other very important members of the country?"

I don't think you make a request for secret funding at a public dinner attended by the press.

What religion is Galloway himself? Church of Scotland, RC, or no religion?

Plausible deniability.
