"In conclusion, Senator, here is your arse."

MP George Galloway, accused of participating in and orchestrating kick-backs to Saddam Hussein by the Senate commission investigating the oil-for-food scandal, hands Senator Norm Coleman (R-Dumbshit) his ass on MSNBC television. Watch it. (Crooks and Liars)
Say what you want about Galloway (and he's probably no prince), but one thing about British politicians - in a debate, most would wipe the floor with any American politician (excluding, maybe, Sen. Byrd, but he's getting old). In Britain, politicians are expected to defend themselves, are publicly held to account, and are treated with little deference, while ours have gotten all soft and squishy from self-imposed isolation and sycophantic media boot-licks, like the spoiled aristocracy they desperately want to be. Which is kind of ironic.
