Nearly two weeks ago I wondered if Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) and Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) were playing a bit of rope-a-dope with British MP George Galloway during his blustery and confrontational testimony before a Senate committee looking into the UN Oil-For-Food scandal. Galloway's bombastic performance was widely seen as running circles around Coleman's Senate committee. If Coleman and Levin were laying a perjury trap they sure haven't tipped their hand in that regards as of yet.
The American Spectator notes the work of blogger George Gooding in tracking down what appears to be a bald-face lie, told under oath, by Mr. Galloway. In much the same way that bloggers tracked down Jeff Gannon's gay prostitution past, Gooding uses the Internet Archive Wayback Machine to show that Galloway never "emblazoned" his oil dealing associate (Fawaz Zureikat) over his charity web site.
With all due RESPECT, Mr. Galloway... [SEIXON]

Like I wrote the day after the Galloway Mule High Diving Act, the way to handle an odd, old sod like Galloway is to give them a lot of rope and then wait...
Which is exactly what I thought Coleman, especially, was doing. About Levin, it's getting difficult to even type a Democrat Senator's name.

To anyone who actually watched the thing, Galloway ran circles around nobody. Coleman coolly and calculatedly picked him apart without resorting to Biden/Kerry-like stentorianism.

Before you crow about the imagined skills of your congressmen when confronting uncomfortable truths and laying "perjury Traps" you might like to remind yourself of the duties of you commander in Chief. Do you think that shrub and his mates might have "perjured" themselves, before the ENTIRE world???
The gist of Galloways speech before the congressional hearing is undeniable and you seek to discredit it over some (possibly irrelevant) very minor details.
What about a great many very important details that were comprehensively "misrepresented"??
Have you heard of the RYCROFT memo??
Unlikely, as the compliant and complicit US mainstream media has kept VERY quiet about it..
You worry about minutiae when the biggest catastrophe in its history is engulfing the US..
WAKE UP AMERICA, IMPEACH THE BASTARDS before its too late
