WHEN YOU'RE A LAUGHINGSTOCK IS THERE A BEST-CASE SCENARIO?:
Galloway aide admits TV fiasco (MICHAEL HOWIE , 1/16/06, The Scotsman)
GEORGE Galloway's reputation sank even lower yesterday after his spokesman admitted that the Respect MP's appearance on Celebrity Big Brother had turned into a "worst-case scenario".The maverick politician has attracted fierce criticism for choosing to go into the Big Brother house. His standing has suffered following days of controversial antics, which have seen the former Labour rebel impersonate a cat and dress up as a vampire.
In the latest episode last night, the arch-critic of the Iraq war was shown hiding in a giant cardboard box and apparently squabbling with the disgraced television entertainer Michael Barrymore over his cigars.
Meanwhile, the MP's east London constituents have lambasted him for deserting them and humiliating himself.
Are they not aware they humiliated themselves by electing him? Posted by Orrin Judd at January 16, 2006 12:37 PM
Their best case now might be Bushmill's.
Given East London's voting habits in the past, Britian will be lucky if they replace the disgraced Galloway with Rula Lenska.
