For George Galloway. . .the war would seem to be over. 
    The evidence presented suggests that he lied in court 
    when he sued the Daily Telegraph in London over similar 
    allegations (and collected money for that, too). It 
    suggests that he lied to the Senate under oath. And it 
    suggests that he made a deceptive statement in the 
    register of interests held by members of the British 
    House of Commons. All in all, a bad week for him, 
    especially coming as it does on the heels of the U.N. 
    report on the murder of Rafik Hariri, which appears to 
    pin the convict's badge on senior members of the Assad 
    despotism in Damascus, Galloway's default patron after he 
    lost his main ally in Baghdad. 

    Yet this is the man who received wall-to-wall good press 
    for insulting the Senate subcommittee in May, and who was 
    later the subject of a fawning puff piece in the New York 
    Times, and who was lionized by the anti-war movement when 
    he came on a mendacious and demagogic tour of the country 
    last month. I wonder if any of those who furnished him a 
    platform will now have the grace to admit that they were 
    hosting a man who is not just a pimp for fascism but one 
    of its prostitutes as well.
