Mr. Galloway Goes to Washington - Yahoo! News: "Norm Coleman is a fool.


Not an ideological nutcase, not a partisan whack, not even a useful idiot -- just a plain old-fashioned, drool-on-his-tie fool.

The Minnesota Republican senator who took Paul Wellstone's seat after one of the most disreputable campaigns in American political history, has been trying over the past year to make a name for himself by blowing the controversy surrounding the
United Nations Oil-for-Food program into something more than the chronicle of corporate abuse that it is. The U.S. media, which thrives on official sound bites, was more than willing to lend credence to Coleman's overblown claims about wrongdoing in the UN program set up in 1996 to permit
Iraq -- which was then under strict international sanctions -- to buy food, medicine and humanitarian supplies with the revenues from regulated oil sales. Even as Coleman's claims became more and more fantastic, he faced few challenges from the cowering Democrats in Congress."

British lawmaker lashes out at senators: "MAY. 17 4:03 P.M. ET British lawmaker George Galloway denounced U.S. senators on their home turf Tuesday, denying accusations that he profited from the U.N. oil-for-food program and accusing them of unfairly tarnishing his name.

Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., questioned Galloway's honesty and told reporters, 'If in fact he lied to this committee, there will have to be consequences.'

Galloway's appearance was an odd spectacle on Capitol Hill: A legislator from a friendly nation, voluntarily testifying under oath, without immunity, at a combative congressional hearing where neither side showed much pretense of diplomatic niceties."

I'm embarrassed this jackass represents my state and was ever a part of the democratic party. Colman left the party after a "change of heart/ideals" it had more to do with fact that the party would never have put him on a real ticket of power. If it was not for Wellstones murder he would not be here now or ever. Nuff-said
