"How come we can't expell folks like Kennedy, Clinton, et al? "

Because no one is sure that they really hurt the image of a bunch of sorry democrats.

In other news, Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe announced an emergency campaign to introduce legislation permitting former British member of parliament George Galloway to be exempted from citizenship requirements and become the eleventh Democratic candidate for president in 2004.

Said McAuliffe, "George Galloway embodies the ideals of the Democratic Party better than any current candidate. Since we are unable to generate sufficient support for permitting Bill Clinton to serve a third term, this is our last best hope to field a candidate willing and capable to stand against the wishes and interests of the American people."

When asked about potential problems with the constitutionality of such a measure, McAuliffe said, "Look, this is nothing new. We've been passing unconstitutional legislation for decades, and it's never stopped us before. This is hardly the time or the place to start carping about such quaint, outmoded and obsolete notions as 'constitutionality'. We need to move forward, and George Galloway is the right person for the job. The Democratic Party has the money and the attorneys necessary to do this, and I warn the Bush administration and the American people that it will be in their best interests not to oppose us on this."

Excuse me, probably someone whose MOTHER puts license plates in his underwear. It's been far too long.

Wasn't this the guy who was shown to be on Saddam's payroll?

Yep. Exhorting enemy troops to kill British ones and then found taking money from their dictator - just one big fuzzy cuddly puppy, Mr. Galloway.

MP: No peace

TRAITOR MP George Galloway last night claimed Saddam’s capture was a SETBACK for Iraq, as it may lead to fresh violence.

The loudmouth rebel — who has twice met the tyrant — said: “Tony Blair will be having a laugh now — but I doubt very much if it will be the last laugh.”

He added: “This will not stop the Iraqi resistance. If anything, it may set the resistance free from the cloud of Saddam Hussein and transform it into a purely national resistance movement.”

Galloway, 49 — on a visit to Egypt — was booted out of the Labour Party for inciting Arabs to slaughter British troops. He also accused the PM and President George Bush of acting like “wolves”.
