Perfect Irony - Grill Galloway but they Baby Bush..
I have never witnessed such a massive idiot fest as I witnessed in the US Senate today.

Okay we have senators grilling Galloway about whether he would feel bad if he found out that one of his campaign donors was paying kickbacks to Saddam Hussein... (meanwhile Galloway told them over and over again he was not privy to that information and personally he was more upset about the murderous sanctions...but that is just too complicated for the toddlers in the senate that only comprehend retarded Yes and No answers.

But we have a US President who starts a war on LIES, he gets campaign donations from corporations who steal from people's pensions and steal from the US Treasury for the sake of War Profiteering....and yet that Evil Stupid fucking bastard isn't up there taking any hard questions...and if he did he would have to have Dick Cheney's hand up his ass so that he would konw how to answer the questions.

It is just disgusting to me.

1. I agree!
The insistence on simple yes or no answers to hypothetical questions is idiotic. I hate it when I see that in any kind of setting, be it a courtroom or anywhere else.

What was in the back of my mind was that they were trying to trap him. They wanted just a yes or no answer so that they could then spin it anyway they wished later and try to clobber him with it. These jackasses play semantic games all the time and it is more often to obscure the truth than reveal it.

:grr:

I think Galloway did extremely well and I hope some of our timid Dems take a lesson from him!
