Galloway rolls out barrel

By STEVE KENNEDY

SADDAM-supporting MP George Galloway blew his top yesterday after The Sun sent him a barrel of OIL.

Mr Galloway claims he has never seen one — so we arranged for him to have his own 200-litre drum.

It came as the Glasgow Kelvin MP fiercely denied pocketing £1million from Iraqi tyrant Saddam.

His name was on a list of people allegedly rewarded by the dictator with vouchers for millions of barrels of oil.

We delivered our drum, complete with Sun logos to the front door of his £500,000 home in South London.

It sat in his drive for three hours before he dragged it away and hid it from view in an 8ft privet hedge.

Drum ... seen with Sun man Kennedy

One passer-by applauded our gesture and said: “Good on the Sun for sticking it to Galloway. He’s so oily.”

Angry Mr Galloway, 49, told Sky News yesterday: “I have not benefited by a brass farthing from Iraq, the Iraqi regime or any businessman dealing with Iraq. This is a smear campaign.”

And he was less than a barrel of laughs about The Sun’s gift of oil.

When we asked if he would comment on why his name had appeared on the list put before the US congress, he said: “I don’t have to explain myself to The Sun. I’m not going to talk to you. Why talk to guttersnipes?”

Shall we take that as a No then, George?

Scandal rocks on

Kofi Annan ... UN Secretary General

By NIC CECIL
Political Correspondent

THE oil bung allegations last night threatened to destroy the credibility of the United Nations.

MPs demanded an independent probe into whether Saddam Hussein used massive bribes to influence voting by France and Russia.

They both have a powerful role as permanent members of the UN Security Council — and refused to back Britain and America in the run-up to the Iraq War.

Saddam is alleged to have handed out cash for votes and other favours and siphoned 10billion dollars from oil sales meant to feed starving Iraqis. Former Labour minister George Foulkes said UN Secretary General Kofi Annan must allow an independent inquiry.

And Labour MP Hugh Bayley, added: “We need an investigation to stop this kind of abuse and reveal whether Security Council votes were being bought.”

Simply awesome, I wish someone here on the right had this kind of brass. Imagine publicly delivering a case of life preservers to Ted Kennedy, how bout a live camel for some of those anti war democrats. The best ever would be to purchase a slave in Sudan and award him to a prominent pro-Islamist Dem. The potential for embarassment here is legion.

I really like that one!

It seems to me Free Republic could pull that one off without even breaking a sweat. Very funny too, if the proper press is arranged.

[Petronski]

How about we ship a gross of flip-flops to Kerry Campaign headquarters?

[flying Elvis]

Particularly if the "slave" will go along with the gag and loudly lament the loss of his master when the Dem refuses to acknowledge the gift. lol. I imagine we could find a former Sudanese slave who is annoyed at the pro-islamist dems enough to go along with it.

Kerry needs some over sized Vietnam era medals shipped to him publicly to replace the ones he tossed over the White House fence. (remember, he tossed someone elses)

The lying, thieving, friend of despots and terrorists is giving the family a bad name!

[GeronL]

Oh I am sure there are many, probably some right here in the US too.

[Redcoat LI]

How about this,we get that intern that's hiding in Africa,make her wear a pair of flip-flops,have her drive an S.U.V full of bacitracin over the foot of a secret service agent, call him an S.O.B, while he's eating a waffle covered with Heinz ketchup,have a cannon that shoots someone elses medals over the White House fence,and hand him the bill for the gas,and thank him for raising the gas tax.

[Petronski]

Yep. That would do it. ;O)

From the people who gave us Chirac the whore and Chirac the Worm.

Wish some had the guts to start a paper like this in the states, including the page three girls.

A scaled down version of the Vietnam Memorial on a flatbed truck with loudspeakers playing Kerry's testimony on the "atrocities" committed by American soldiers would strike a major nerve.
Someone should make some large 6 foot diameter paper mache balls and have them delivered to him, since he apparently doesn't have enough of his own to do anything against the Islamists without UN approval.
A nice 10 foot tall model of the Eifel tower would be nice also. Label it as a gift from the French for being such a loyal ally to them.
One of my personal favorites is a web video parody of David Lee Roth's "Just a Gigilo" peppered with images of Kerry's marital gold mines.
A really good grassroots idea would be to ask people with property near interstate highways to allow some temporary Kerry monuments to be constructed. Signs like, "Kerry voted for even higher gas taxes" or "Kerry said Vietnam vets routinely committed atrocities" or "Kerry voted against flack jackets for our troops" Simple but effective signs.

They send the cops to make you go away... =o)

Might get some media attention though.

It must be tough to destroy something that ain't there.

Well the first thing you know Galloway's a millionaire,

kinfolks said "George move away from there."

Said, "the middle east is a place for nuts like you",

So he loaded up his bribes and went east to start anew."

Baghdad, that is.

Iraqi gold.

Desert sand.
