This is delicious! To be savored!

[mkjessup]

This is not the good kind of stoned

Sure it is, when we're talking about George Galloway. In a perfect world, after Saddam finished twitching at the end of the hangman's noose, Galloway should have been given the honor of following Saddam, using the same rope.

And believe this: Galloway would have actually considered that an 'honor'. He is among the most despicable pieces of sh*t I've ever seen in my lifetime, a true waste of oxygen.

And to continue in that vein, if aliens truly have visited Earth, we can thank God that they did not abduct George Galloway, because after such an abduction, they would have concluded that the best thing for our corner of the universe would be to incinerate the entire planet, based on the existence of just ONE such vile and repugnant slug.

[w/apologies to all those more honorable slugs]

Sorry, have to run now, time to take the dog out, he's dancin' around and has to go, I suspect he's going to pinch off a loaf o' Galloway.

[BallyBill]

They wrote naughty words? How British of them. Galloway might have staged his own PR stunt.

[tcrlaf]

He’s also the ‘jerk’ that was laundering money for, and was in the payroll of, Saddam Hussein.

[JudyinCanada]

Wasn’t he also a great buddy of Yasser Arafat? Somehow when I hear Galloway mentioned, Yasser come to my mind as well.

He’s also the ‘jerk’ that was laundering money for, and was in the payroll of, Saddam Hussein.

...and still an MP, must have that Barney Frank thing all figured out, or some awfully stupid voters. Sure, a bit of both.

Misleading & disappointing headline - doesn’t say anything about Galloway being hit by rocks, though he certainly deserves it and more.

[TaxRelief]

Sounds like a publicity stunt, IMHO.

[gridlock]

You may be right about that.

However, I don’t see why Galloway would permit anybody to contradict his “Everybody Loves Hamas” tour.

[AliVeritas]

Read it all ping.

[TaxRelief]

Unless the message is: “Anyone who does not like Hamas is a mean-spirited vandal”.

[demshateGod]

I can certainly understand why reasonable people would be pro-Israel and anti-Hamas but these are Muslims, not reasonable people. Why are they anti-Hamas?

[rumrat]

OBJECTION
He is not English he is a Scott, and is an MP in a constituency where shall we say the voters are a little bit (NOT ENGLISH) Care being taken because we can go to prison for free speech in this country. In Britain you can stand in the street as an ethnic and spout treason, if your English you cannot speak the truth or you get prosecuted.
This is a restriction you do not seem to have thrust upon you in America so have a heart when you judge us. And in fact it does not work in Britain as you seem to think. A party that polls a greater proportion of the vote does not win in the UK so please do not generalise about the Feelings of Brits. We are suffering the same as you in our leadership and its not popular here.
Obama was not popular with Brits prior to his election and in truth most people (contrary to what the press says) had not heard of him. Bush was popular as we saw him as an average Jo. We don’t care what you concluded from our leadership or the press. The powers that be in UK are considering ways to make the public vote and pay attention to Politics, so why do you imagine we would as a majority think about your. Less than half those entitled to vote in the UK do so. ITS CALLED APATHY.

[counterpunch]

Economics.

[contemplator]

Did you add the word “medical” in the first sentence of the article as you pasted it here on FR or did the Times Online people edit their original article sometime after you pasted it here? Somehow I doubt that you would have had any reason to add it on your own, it is more likely that the original article was edited. The reason it caught my eye was that I was going to comment on how the article was misleading in the first sentence making you think that the convoy was carrying only medical supplies when later in the article it states that they separated the medical stuff from the non-medical stuff. The thing I found interesting about it was that they didn’t elaborate on what the ‘non-medical’ stuff was.

[gridlock]

I did a direct cut-and-paste. TimesOnline must have edited after I posted it.

How interesting. You are absolutely right. They probably got comments back that they were contradicting themselves and corrected.

[counterpunch]

Galloway’s the chap that gave Arafat his AIDS.

[Alter Kaker]

Egypt is primarily pro-Israel, anti-Hamas, believe it or not.

Totally off.

The most popular political party in Egypt is the Muslim Brotherhood, which is very closely aligned with Hamas. The unpopular ruling party, led by President Mubarack, sees the Brotherhood as its main threat. So it strongly opposes Hamas (which is very different from being "pro-Israel"). But the vast majority of Egyptians are supportive of Hamas, their government's position to the contrary notwithstanding.
