The former hippie and the truth

I really wish I could've seen Norm Coleman's face at this hearing: British Lawmaker Scolds Senators on Iraq. I happened to be watching Charlie Rose last night and Galloway was on. Rose was particularly slow and incoherent in the face of Galloway's blunt opinions on the war in Iraq and the current government there, which he rightly describes as a "puppet". It was almost as if Charlie was personally offended by that.

I don't pretend to know if Galloway had anything to do with the oil-for-food scandal, but isn't it sad how stunned our talk show hosts and senators are by someone who doesn't confine himself to the limited patiotic discourse of post-9/11 politics in the US?
