Galloway to address rally

MP George Galloway is to make his first public appearance since the accusation he was on Saddam's payroll.

The anti-war Labour MP for Glasgow Kelvin is to address a May Day rally in Wallasey, Merseyside.

He has strongly denied all the allegations

Alec McFadden of organisers Merseyside TUC said he was 'honoured' to have Mr Galloway speak, but the Wirral council has distanced itself from the event.

"Pelted with stones"....."three objects including eggs". If at least two of the three objects were eggs, how could he possibly have been pelted by "stones"? Is this guy prone to hyperbole or simply trying to garner pity for this traitorous acts?

Weird article. The headline says "stones"--the article says "eggs."

I'm thinkin' here that most people would choose eggs, all other things being equal.

So he spoke to a small group of rabid socialists on Mayday, defending his possible collusion with Saddam's regime on May Day. And got pelted with eggs. Interesting that the article says one object was an egg and Gallowsway says he was 'pelted with stones'...and that the alleged 'pelter' threw only three objects. Hardly pelting.

More propaganda from the Marxist brigade.

I was busy watching President Bush's speech from aboard the USS Lincoln. More interesting by far. EGAD he looks good in a flight suit. He's a pilot through and through all right. Now THAT'S my idea of a CnC!

Poor Mr Galloway. Better to be Stoned with Pelts that to be Pelted with Sones. Galloway is a commie and a Saddamite.

Galloway: 'I was pelted with stones'

I believe the appropriate Monty Python response would be...

"And...?"

Mr. Galloway was just outdoors enjoying his freedom while he has it.

What did he expect, a crown and the audience offering bows? This man was on Saddam's payroll. Isn't this treasonous? By the way, what's MI5's analysis?

In the parley of the Brits, "stones" is often used like we do the old "balls" or "Cajones."

So Galloway may be correct if we use his liberal leftist convoluted "newspeak." twisting of the English language.

If roosters may have perchance visited the hens before they laid said eggs, then there may have indeed been some remnants of said stones interjected into said eggs. Hence, Galloway for dramatic effect feels justified, but he could have clarified by stating. "I was indeed pelted with "stones" secreted within the eggs.

This reminds me of that recurring bit from David Letterman...

"They pelted us with rocks and garbage."
