NY Post: "Brit Fries Senators In Oil"

[Mark E. Smith]

Best headline of the day. I wonder how they snuck that one past Rupert?

http://www.nypost.com/news/worldnews/46783.htm

Lots of play over on Google this morning about Gorgeous George's goring of the junior Senator from Minnesota.

Coleman's beating yesterday reminded me of that famous moment in the Senate when Joe McCarthy finally went down in flames. "Have you no sense of decency, sir at long last? Have you no sense of decency?"

1. "I met Saddam Hussein exactly the same number of times as Donald Rumsfeld"

I missed that part! :D

"As a matter of fact, I met Saddam Hussein exactly the same number of times as Donald Rumsfeld met with him," Galloway said, referring to meetings the defense secretary had during the Reagan administration.

3. he went on to say

something like: but I wasn't selling him guns and gas.

[tanyev]

4. Guns and maps.

Maps to help better target the guns.

[KurtNYC]

9. Yes, here

"As a matter of fact, I have met Saddam Hussein exactly the same number of times as Donald Rumsfeld met him. The difference is Donald Rumsfeld met him to sell him guns and to give him maps the better to target those guns. I met him to try and bring about an end to sanctions, suffering and war, and on the second of the two occasions, I met him to try and persuade him to let Dr Hans Blix and the United Nations weapons inspectors back into the country - a rather better use of two meetings with Saddam Hussein than your own Secretary of State for Defence made of his.

"I was an opponent of Saddam Hussein when British and Americans governments and businessmen were selling him guns and gas. I used to demonstrate outside the Iraqi embassy when British and American officials were going in and doing commerce.

6. The Galloway/Colemen showdown ...

[Larkspur]

5. Love that Headline. It says it all

Give 'em Hell, George Galloway!!

Can also say "George Galloway nukes Repukes!!!"

[Cha]

18. That's our own little headline via

Larkspur.."Galloway nukes the repukes!"

[calimary]

7. It was a total smackdown! I'm glad it's getting press this morning.

Maybe little normie feels like he needs a morning-after pill.

I particularly enjoyed this paragraph:

"Coleman and other senators were caught flat-footed by the ferocity of Galloway's counter-offensive. They cut short the questioning of him and abruptly stopped the hearing."

SEE? They just are preconditioned by now - NOT to expect anyone to stand up to them, no less with the vehemence and flourish that Galloway used. They're just completely unaccustomed to it. So used to just being able to swagger all over the place any which way they please, pushing anybody around whom they feel like pushing around. Because that's how it's gone for them up til now. Everybody either rolls over, bends over, or plays dead - or in true Helsinki syndrome fashion - joins the bad guys out of fear or brainwashing or resignation. They're just not used to this. They have no comeback for it. They have no talking points or prepared defense strategies to use against someone who actually fights back. This is something they just do not recognize. They WERE caught flat-footed. How DARE anyone talk back to them and use their own in-yer-face against them? Well, Galloway dared. I hope the Democrats were taking notes.

PLEASE - PLEASE - PLEASE see the following thread - we HAVE to exhort our warriors to fight even harder now - and to be strong - and to be BRAVE! AND to SEIZE THE TIME!!! DUers - "The Galloway Offensive" - PLEASE call a Democrat about it!

12. Exactly

They weren't expecting his testimony and thought they had control of the situation but weren't expecting his testimony. That's why he talked so fast and loaded out everything at once because he knew they weren't prepared and couldn't do anything about it. It was pure genius.

8. Stark contrast to the impotent Dems. n/t

[Al-CIAda]

10. .

[CWebster]

13. The saddest part is Galloway hasd to fill the role

absent in our own Country's government.

[pgh_dem]

14. another echo of McCarthy hearings

When he stated "I am not now, nor have I ever been..."
course he finished with "an oil trader", but I have no doubt that selection of words was deliberate.

[The Animator]

15. If you need the smackdown laid right, call a member of British Parlament.

These guys know how to fight back... Hell I've even heard of fist fights breaking out in Parlament.

If there's anyone our Democratic Party needs to be taking lessons from..

17. As George Galloway said

so eloquently on charlierose last night..the static in his ear has been positive as to how he fared with the US Senate!:P
