Braveheart Goes to Washington

[Soup Bean]

Another highly entertaining Galloway article. :)

But even the feeblest British MPs of any stripe don't mumble. Britons, despite decades of eating their own education system, still speak in complete sentences with immaculate grammar. They select syntax that assassinates and have an icy grasp of their facts.

Furthermore, Mr. Galloway is a Scot. They thunder well. It was like Braveheart going to Washington, like listening to comedian Billy Connolly go on one of his genuine rants. Scots go for the jugular.

This is why all British prime ministers sweat and tremble at Question Period. These senators were dumb enough not to know that a fusillade of words was aimed at their heads, words that would shame and frighten them, as you could see from their nervous smiles.

I haven't seen such mass destruction since John Dean, in calm and icy style, told a Senate committee in 1973 that he told Nixon there was a cancer on the presidency. And Nixon fell.

Mr. Galloway, in attempting to get food and clothing for Iraqi children during the UN sanctions against Iraq, had not made money, not a penny. The senators, using recycled libel from the 2003 London Daily Telegraph said he had, basing their story on documents so phony that the Telegraph was reduced to pleading in British court that it was in the public interest to publish false documents because they were, um, of interest to the public. Mr. Galloway won £150,000 in damages and costs of £1.2 million. The Telegraph is appealing, doubtless on the grounds that they had a migraine that day and the front page had this Big Empty on it.

1. Galloway was GREAT. So glad I saw that video...

Now, I want to find an American counterpart to lead us back to sanity.
