GALLOWAY: I've lost my last election
The Sun | January 26, 2006 | TONY BONNICI, JAMES CLENCH and DAVID WOODING

Posted on 01/25/2006 10:31:04 PM PST by MadIvan

SMARMY George Galloway’s career lay in ruins last night after he was booted off Celebrity Big Brother in shame.

The arrogant 51-year-old MP polled 64.7 per cent of the viewers’ vote in the double eviction.

He emerged to declare he had fought his last election.

Britain’s most hated man said: “Well actually, I’m not standing in any other elections so that was my last election and I lost it, hey!”

News of his eviction was met by a huge cheer from Big Brother fans in Elstree, Herts — followed by boos as he emerged from the TV house.

And he faced protests over his embarrassing antics on the show and his meetings with Saddam Hussein’s brutal son Uday, revealed by The Sun yesterday.

Galloway, dressed all in black, looked horrified when shown headlines of the furious reaction to his behaviour.

Asked by presenter Davina McCall if he was glad he had gone in the house, he said: “Not after I’ve seen those press cuttings.”

He also admitted he’d been a flop in the house, saying: “I thought I could get on with almost everybody, Tony Blair excepted, but I couldn’t.

“I thought I could bring people together in a common cause and I failed, I thought I could live without the news and I couldn’t. So yeah, I did learn things about myself.”

He arrogantly added: “I do not normally lose elections and this was a big one.”

But he did try to justify his infamous “pussy prat” antics with Rula Lenska during a task.

He watched red-faced as footage of him pretending to be a cat licking milk from the actress’s hand was screened.

He then said: “My purr was quite good.” He added: “It was Red Nose Day, I was acting out a role for charity.”

Galloway, who on another occasion pranced around in a red leotard added: “I was so bored I was delighted to get a task.”

When Davina told him she had a video message from an old adversary, he assumed it was the Prime Minister.

But it was from BBC2’s Newsnight interrogator Jeremy Paxman who said there were several things he wanted to quiz him about “with or without your leotard.”

Galloway had told Big Brother he hoped his housemates would remember him for his intelligence.

But he added: “Electorates have short memories and this electorate was no different because only a couple of days later they voted by a majority to take away my rights, but hey, that’s politics.”

When told he was speaking to a reporter from The Sun he grimaced and visibly recoiled: “Oh my God, The Sun!” while making the sign of the cross.

Later Galloway’s spokesman, Ron McKay, said he thought the MP “performed admirably” in the house.

More than 25,000 Sun readers have signed a petition calling on Parliament’s Standards Commission to probe Galloway over his TV behaviour.

Last night Tory Peter Gold said the MP had made his Bethnal Green and Bow constituency a laughing stock.

And Shadow Trade Secretary Alan Duncan said: “George has put publicity before politics. When he next stands up in the Commons he will be ridiculed.”

Voter Kiran Prabhakar spoke for many constituents saying: “What young people look for in their politicians is a level of self-respect and respect for their constituents. Galloway has shown neither.”

As he packed his bags, the MP held up a pair of his OWN white Y-fronts — reminding viewers how former Iraqi tyrant Saddam was pictured in The Sun in his pants in jail.

Galloway scored one victory yesterday when he won the latest round in his libel battle with the Daily Telegraph.

The Appeal Court ruled he could keep £150,000 damages awarded against the paper.

But the verdict paved the way for Commons sleaze-busters to reopen a probe into his links with Saddam.

After Galloway was evicted Michael Barrymore said: “We can have a nice time now.”

Chantelle hit out at Galloway saying: “He’s just a cheat, a conniving, vile, little man.

She added: “What’s the name of his band Respect? It should have DIS in front of it — disrespect.”

REALITY CHECK

With Sun's Big Bruv hater JOHN PERRY

IN a blinding flash last night, I realised what Big Brother is missing: Paxman.

Galloway, the tyrant’s toady, was due the kicking of his life in his post-eviction interview. Instead, under Davina’s gentle stroking, he sat there purring like a cat. Again.

And while “You’re the best housemate ever” was ONE possible opening line, I’d have preferred: “Why did you suck up to Uday Hussein, a mass-murdering rapist?”

Paxo’s sudden appearance did unsettle the bloated jackass. But it was woefully brief.

Beg pardon, sir; he isn't done until he goes into prison.

When will that be?

It's good, isn't it? I've never seen someone self-destruct so spectacularly.

The Serious Fraud Office is apparently after him. So perhaps within the year.

Good news!

Seems like he's as hated in Britain as in the US.

At first glance, I thought the title of this thread was: "GALLOWAY: I've lost my last erection"

A shame... it was kind of a bright spot reading your Galloway pings, and seeing how he could possibly lower himself even more each new day.

England has had plenty of crazy kings and politicians.

Galloway makes them all look sane.

Same as it ever was.
