"an annual sum of at least £375,000..." ($500K)

To a frigging backbencher.

Imagine how much our own Criminal Class in D.C. must pull down from assorted brigands and knaves.

Well, it was only about half a million buckadingdongs a year - I'm sure the rest of the money went straight into the fund for food and medicine for starving sick kiddies as it was supposed to...right, Mr. Galloway?

". He claims that any documents purporting to show this are forgeries planted by western intelligence agencies to try to discredit him."

The Clinton legacy at work!

...a memo from the country's secret service to Saddam's office outlining talks between the MP and an agent on Boxing Day 1999, during which Mr Galloway is alleged to have said he needed "continuous support from Iraq".

The MP has told this newspaper that the meeting did not take place but said he did spend one Christmas in Iraq, but could not be sure which one.

From the "I did not know that" file:

Yes it can. And I think it will. Let's face it. The amount of money that Galloway was pulling in is chump change to Saddam... unless it is a drop in a bigger payoff budget.

I wonder how many other boxes are going to be found and how many more names are going to be splashed on the headlines.

I have a personal suspect list myself. It will be interesting to see what happens.

"Boxing Day is a national holiday..."

That is the day on which gifts were given to household staff.

Ironic, isn't it? A member of one of the Houses of Parliament serving the House of Saddamn. Guess we know what George wanted for Boxing Day, don't we?

This fellow seems to get around. Turns out this guy spent a good while in Baghdad and actually ended up on Iraqi TV pulling an Arnett.

Anyway I found these on google:

I really love this one! It reminds me of that song "They're coming to take me away"


Here he is in a press conference in Gaza of all places

"The Clinton legacy at work!"

The "I did not have sex with that dictator!" defense.
