Mr Galloway and Mr Hitchens I presume...

from Anna:

WHAT'S LEFT? GALLOWAY VERSUS HITCHENS; PROGRESSIVES VERSUS OURSELVES
By Greg Palast

Man, it just felt so good watching George Galloway rip Senator Coleman an extra exit hole...

But before we rally 'round this stand-up guy from Britain, we should ask him a few questions of our own.Honorable Mr. Galloway, you met with Saddam Hussein in Baghdad in 1994 and said,

"Sir, I salute your courage, your strength your indefatigability. And I want you to know that we are with you until victory, until victory, until Jerusalem."

After this effusive praise for Saddam, the two of you shared some Quality Street chocolates and some funny stories about Winston Churchill.

In 1990, Saddam executed a troublesome reporter, Farzad Bazoft, of the Observer newspaper of London. You complained about it at the time. Some time later, Saddam finished off about 100,000 Shi'ites and Kurds.My questions are,

"Are Quality Street chocolates your favorite brand? And did you forget the name of the reporter that Saddam executed? And how is it that you found the courage to challenge a bunch of US Senators but became such a pussy cat when confronted with a man whose killing spree easily exceeds theirs?"
