No smoke without fire? No $h1t! ;-)

Mr. Galloway may think he can run as an 'independent'...but methinks his constituency will be a minority of ONE.

[Happygal]

Ping.

BTW..me thinks Mr. Galloway got the Scots upset, and that hasn't happened since the last distillery ran dry! *LOL* (kiddin') ;-)

Please ping people who may find this interesting btw! *S*

""What is the motivation behind George Galloway’s visits to the Middle East, anyway?"

Let me see if I can explain it to ye, laddie,
£££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££,

Now do ye ken?

[dighton]

"Gorgeous George" alert.

[Shermy]

Yet more Galloway.

[expatpat]

"Socialism? I haven’t used that word for years."

No, the socialists avoid that term like the plague. They know it is a totally discredited political belief, so they hide under various other names like 'liberal' (in the US) and New Labor or New Democrat.

Perhaps the chickens have come home to roost.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

He is getting attention!

[Oztrich Boy]

IF THE only thing worse than being talked about is not to be talked about at all, George Galloway might, in Oscar Wilde’s opinion, have had something to smile about yesterday.

To continue the theme, Galloway has started libel proceedings against the Telegraph, a decision which may rank with Wilde's suing the Marquis of Queensbury for slander.

Wilde lost, even though Queensbury conceded that he knew the original slander, that Wilde was pretending to be homosexual, was false when he wrote it.

[Happygal]

He is getting attention!

Of course he's getting attention. This article is in 'The Scotsman'. Ye think the home boys would ignore it?

[Happygal]

Wilde was 'pretending' to be a homosexual? He should have won that case. He was a homosexual, no pretense about it! *LOL*

[FreedomCalls]

Or "Progressive."

[Hazzardgate]

I hope so. I once saw that beast on the BBC screaming about "the bible belt far right-wing Republican selected president" leading the world into World War 3. He was frothing at the mouth, I kid ye not!

[Oztrich Boy]

Queensbury left a note for "Oscar Wilde, posing as a somdomite" (sic). Which technically isn't a slander.

Wilde chose to prosecute the implied accusation of homosexuality, on the basis that he wasn't one. Queensbury defended on the basis of "oh yes he was".

No way Wilde was going to win that contest.

[Cicero]

Never mind. Oscar Wilde was a damned good poet.

[MEG33]

We have plenty of those statements from this side of the Pond!

[ellery]

Happygal, thanks for a great article! HAH, I can't wait for this guy to go down...is everyone buzzing about it?

[Happygal]

No way Wilde was going to win that contest.

No shit! *LOL*...Doesn't take away from the fact that Wilde was probably one of the greatest wits of the 19th century.

[Grampa Dave]

Just follow the Opecker Islamofacist's money to see why politicians love them, non profits like the enviral whackos love them, why the so called peace groups like Answer love them and even left wing mediots who control the fishwraps and tv nets love them.
