Re: Senate Committee hearing
May 19, 2005, 04:45
Was indeed. This morning at work everyone is asking me who "That dude Galloway" is......so if raising his profile was on his agenda, he's succeeded. Surprisingly, many here agree with his comments & were happy that someone had the courage of their conviction & stood up to the senate.
News coverage tried to portray him as 'a trouble maker' before the hearings & afterwards were dressing the whole thing up as the basic difference between UK & US politics (ie, in the UK they're all thugs who shout a lot of obscenties to each other & in the US they're all gentlemen who wouldn't dream of shouting....)
In short, GG made his point. Like him or loathe him, he did what he set out to do. He IS a showboater, of that there's no doubt but it is refreshing to see someone stand up for their beliefs for once. I just hope that he is telling the truth are he's going to look very silly indeed.
