Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Galloway responds to charges with bluster and demogogery

Washington Times:

British lawmaker George Galloway yesterday categorically denied charges he took bribes from Saddam Hussein under the U.N. oil-for-food program, denouncing a Senate probe of his dealings as the "mother of all smoke screens."
"I have never seen a barrel of oil, owned one, bought one, sold one -- and neither has anyone on my behalf," he said, dismissing both the charges and the Senate investigation as "utterly preposterous."
The British member of Parliament said he could not explain why his name appeared on internal Iraqi documents detailing the deals, suggesting at several points they were forgeries put together by Saddam's former aides trying to win favor from the U.S. "puppet government in Iraq."
Following the unusually feisty Capitol Hill clash, Sen. Norm Coleman, the Minnesota Republican spearheading the investigation into the oil-for-food scandal, said that many of Mr. Galloway's denials were simply not believable.
"We didn't get much more than a blanket disclaimer," Mr. Coleman said after the morning hearing of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs permanent subcommittee on investigations. "I just don't think he was a very credible witness."

Galloway is a man who confuses insult with logic and it does not work for him when faced with documentary evidence suggesting he recieved special deals from Saddam's odious regime which he embraced. He was especially ineffective in his approach to Sen. Levin when he challenged Levin for supporting the liberation of Iraq, when in fact Levin had opposed the liberation. By responding to a question with a false assertion Galloway looked like the buffoon that he is.
