George Galloway

Ah yes, the other, far more famous, and controversial bete noire.
According to the BBC, he has praised the Syrian President for standing up to the US. In the same speech, Galloway attacked the US for supporting Saudi Arabia, which has a poor human rights record.
Of course Syria must be a beacon of light in comparison, and has never committed any human rights abuses in the last few months, let alone the last few years.
I am sure Galloway will stand to the courage of his convictions and explain his comments to the Lebanese.
Or is he busy saluting the Syrian President's courage, strength, and indefatigability?
If Galloway wants to be an effective critic of US Foreign policy, he should realise that stopping sucking up to alleged political undesirables helps.
Oh and being a regular attender of the House of Commons if he wants to be an effective MP? After all, his supporters alleged vile attacks on the previous MP for Bethnal Green and Bow, Oona King must have made obtaining the seat worth while!
