And to think George did this without oil money greasing his palm - whatta guy!
Posted by: ratbert at November 20, 2005 2:34 AMWell, it's hard to find someone more principled than George Galloway.
On the other hand, a lot of Iraqi Ba'athist money--somehow--found its way into Syria (well, not just money), and Galloway just might need some of that to defend in court some of his previous principled stands.

As someone clever once said, you couldn't make this stuff up.
