Galloway returns?

For political theater, George Galloway's appearance in May 2005, before the Senate Investigations Committee chaired by Sen. Norm Coleman was wonderfully entertaining. Here we had a rookie Senator from Minnesota who apparently thought he was going to strike the fear of God into Mr Galloway. At the hearings conclusion, it was apparent that Coleman had wet his pants like a little boy after being handed his head by Galloway during a blistering attack on the Coleman's “lick spittle Republican committee”. Galloway also made Coleman look like shades of another baseless, shameful Senator – Joseph McCarthy.

Mr. Galloway has been proven right by history regarding the phony runup to war and is adamant in his denial of any wrongdoing.

He is now being charged with profiteering from the Oil for Food Program, receiving payoffs from Saddam Hussein, and committing perjury in his Senate testimony. One of the main witnesses against Galloway is reported to be Tariq Aziz – the former Deputy Prime Minister of Iraq.

The hypocrisy and idiocy just oozes here. The Senate committee is relying on the testimony of a murderous maniac to try and nail Mr. Galloway.

Please tell me the US government is better than this.
