1. I don't have much respect for Galloway ever since he did that
tutu thing. You're either a dignified serious public figure or you're not.

2. that's pretty dumb

That's like saying "I like my public figures to be robots."

4. Rather a robot than an idiot in a pink tutu on his knees drinking milk out of

out of Rula Lenskas hands. If you can take that clown seriously, be my guest.

The guy wasn't very credible to begin with, but that thing was way out there. His performances with Hitchens weren't much better. He's a
booby. I'd rather not have that guy promoting my causes.

13. Oh come on, that's the best insult you can come up with?
You can do better than that.

9. Ironically, he wasn't in a tutu, but he was 'doing the robot'

5. Apparently Galloway has a radio call in show
He started out throwing out topics for discussion and hits on Obama as one topic about 4 minutes in, giving his own point of view. His first 4 callers spoke of Obama, 5th Venezuela, 6th now Obama again. Galloway has been gushing on Barack so far, just said he has not been sold on an american politician since RFK and is not easily sold a bill of goods but he is totally sold on Obama.

6. If he's "not easily sold a bill of goods", how in the hell did they get Galloway to
appear in "Big Brother"?

8. I didn't even know he was on that show
For that matter I don't have a clue as to what kind of a show that is and really don't care.

I also didn't realize Galloway had a radio show in GB either and intended to only listen long enough to hear his views on Obama. I am now halfway through my 2nd hour of the show. There is NO disputing his progressive creds. Listen to it for a bit, he is spot on with everything I have heard so far.

11. You are quite welcome
I actually ended up listening to the entire 3 hour show, sans commercials. Quite fascinating to hear the brits take on our system and on Obama, who was the main topic of discussion. Worth a sampling. I listen to talk radio while I work on the computer anyway.

14. I agree, a great show. Live at 5 pm ET, link here.

I just sent an email to the admins requesting a link on the latest page for his show since there is a dearth of progressive radio on the weekends.

It starts in 3 hours, here's a link: http://www2.talksport.net/index.asp

It is live from 10 pm - 1 am Fri and Sat and 8 - 10 pm Sundays, all UK time which is 5 hours ahead of ET. http://www.georgegalloway.com/page.php?page=content/talksport.html

15. Speech to Parliament
This is Galloway's remarkable speech to Parliament from last month. No matter what you think of his flaws and foibles, this was incredible.
