A Defense Without Bite

Poor Gorgeous George Galloway is have a tough time of it lately. First Christopher Hitchens ate him alive in a televised debate, and now the U.S. Senate says it can prove he took payments from Saddam Hussein totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars, and lied about it under oath in front of Congress.

Via The Independent:

George Galloway, the British MP, was last night accused of lying by a US Congressional committee when he testified earlier this year that he had not received any United Nation food-for-oil allocations from the deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

In a report issued here, Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman and his colleagues on the Senate Subcommittee for Investigations claim to have evidence showing that Mr Galloway's political organisation and his wife received vouchers worth almost $600,000 (£338,000) from the then Iraqi government.

The Senate subcommittee, chaired by Sen. Norm Coleman, a Minnesota Republican, cites testimony from former Iraqi Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz and wire transfers recorded by both Citibank and the Arab Bank.

So how does that den of critical thinking, the Democratic Underground, respond to the charges against one of their favorite Saddam sycophants?

By attacking the credibility of Coleman's teeth. Yes, the quality of your dentistry determines your credibility in DU Land.

Now, who said that the Democrats were a party without ideas?
