I saw a bit of George Galloway and the US Senate committee while on the gym treadmill yesterday evening and I gotta tell ya, the urge to clap and cheer was heavy upon me…. if I hadn’t been quite so winded from the workout itself I might have, for verily I say unto you, from what I saw he did well and truly kick their asses.
I think one of my favorite Galloway comments was
“I have met Saddam Hussein exactly the same number of times as Donald Rumsfeld met him. The difference is that Donald Rumsfeld met him to sell him guns and to give him maps the better to target those guns.”No backing down there ‘eh? Damned good on him I say.
The absolute and complete hypocrisy of this whole Senate committee investigation into the Iraqi Food for Oil scandal is a wonderous thing to behold… really, I think they may have out done themselves this time.
Hypocrisy is the only word one can use to describe a president and administration that not only knew the program was being abused but knowingly & willingly let that abuse happen because it benefited their buddies — and then has the gonads to see an investigation into wrong-doing?
I wonder if that little tid-bit will appear in the committee minutes and what they will have to say about it if it does.
My personal favorite was:
With this story and the whole circus surrounding the Stronach jump it’s been a pretty entertaining news week all around I’d say.
