British MP Suspended Over Attack on Blair, Bush: GALLOWAY GETS THE BOOT

Reuters ^ | British MP Suspended Over Attack on Blair, Bush

Crybaby.

Actor John Malkovich once made some threatening comments about Galloway: Malkovich is reported to have said that the Glasgow Kelvin MP, George Galloway, was one of two people he would most like to kill.

The source of Malkovich's anger appears to be Mr Galloway's condemnation of Israel's action against Palestinians and his criticism of the west's policies on Iraq.

The actor was addressing students at the Cambridge union debating society when he was asked who he would most like to "fight to the death". (from the BBC)

Yeah but he does it For the Children.

Cut the guy some slack.

[Bahbah]

I think this Reuters headline may be a bit off. I have read in another thread that he is being investigated for tax evasion, not for any political attacks.

[wideawake]

Ah, the old Timmy Sarandon ploy: "The Labour Party won't give me a free platform for my bile anymore, therefore they are hyposrites who oppose freedom!"

[alnitak]

Nope, it's right. He is being suspended *expressly* for his "wolves" comments about Iraq (Abu Dhabi TV, IIRC). The charge is "Bringing the party into disrepute".

They are leaving the libel matter to the courts. I would hope that Tony Blair has had a word with MI5/MI6 though. Something along the lines of "Why the f*ck didn't you tell me about this".

He probably did evade taxes on his Iraqi bribe money.

[MEG33]

Me,too.Perhaps this is in addition to the other.

[MJY1288]

I love the way Rueters titles this. His suspesion has absolutely nothing to do with his stand against the war. It's all about his association with Saddam

[EllaMinnow]

YES!!!!!!!

[Political Junkie Too]

Deny, deny, deny. I guess he'll just have to win.

It is going to take a while to get word to Galloway that he has been suspended from the Parliament. He is vacationing at his resort mansion in Portugal. And how could you possibly suggest he evaded taxes on bribe money?!

[MEG33]

Oh Happy Day!

[katana]

When reading Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs, I always pictured Malkovich in the role of Dr. Lecter. Maybe he could invite Galloway over for dinner some time.

[Maigret]

Wonder if Diane Sawyers is still 'impressed' by him?

[ClancyJ]

Reuters certainly falls far short in their news reporting. How many times do we have to correct what they report with the truth.

[canuck_conservative]

He took money from a declared enemy of the UK during a time of conflict.

Me thinks this traitor should be up on trial for sedition, next.

[lilylangtree]

About time the Brits did something. This man appears to be a security risk big time.

[wardaddy]

Tyburn Tree is calling....I wish.

[Mr.Clark]

He was scary enough for me as the Assassin, Leary, in In the Line of Fire. That was such a good performance, Malkovich is the man!
