What makes a man set fires?"

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.
He's both crazy and evil. They're not mutually exclusive qualities.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't his constituency heavily Muslim? If I am correct, it seems to me that that picture of him appearing subservient to Runa Lenska (the cat episode) won't sit too well with them, not to mention the leotard-transvestite dancing thing.
You're correct; but voters across the ethnic and religious spectrum were angry that he'd missed the important Crossrail debate, regarding train links between East London (where his constituency is) and West London.

What makes a man set fires?"
Pardon my ignorance, but did you just have an election?
Even with the alternate media, I haven't heard anything.
I am glad to see Drudge picked up on some of this. Nary a word out of the networks here, however, and he really needs to be discredited before he gets a chance to line up a bunch of speaking engagements at universities over here.
I REALLY HATE THIS GUY.
Good!
Of course, we have Senator Kennedy...
We had an election last year. Galloway mobilised the Muslim vote to win a seat...and as soon as he won, effed off back to his villa in Portugal. He has the 3rd worst attendance record in the Commons - the other two was an MP who died of cancer, and the other one is Tony Blair, who as Prime Minister, actually has other things to do.

Galloway made himself despised by tormenting Michael Barrymore, a fairly famous comedian, about being an alcoholic. Rula Lenska, the woman who fed him milk like a cat, left last week and told reporters that Galloway was a totally reprehensible person.

Thanks for the information and thanks for still being around for input to our site.
I thought that making a complete ass of yourself made you more popular amongst the "reality show" crowd.
I told my uncle about it and he would like a copy of the story. He landed on Omaha and was astounded to hear about the hidden bunker. If you know the link could you post it for me.
From the title I thought Galloway was leaving Britain to run for a high office in a Middle Eastern non-country such as Palestine.
maddie
Hahahaha! Looking at Galloway checking out his kaks, has given me the biggest laugh this week! Haha!
Maybe that only works if you are an un-corrupt politician.
ROTFLOL!
You sure post some good stuff.
Thank you. ;o)
He couldn't make a cause out of George Galloway.
You know what it is, Ivan. He knows if he makes another run for the Commons, he's not going to be able to walk a block without running into campaign posters of him and Pete Burns in those leotards.
