Galloway: Knockout on Capitol Hill

I have always enjoyed the British Parliamentary debates particularly for its ad-hoc, unpredicatable, rich and entertaining political performance compared with the often dull and mind-numbing lack of "real" dialogue in our Capitol Hill. For all those who share a similar sentiment you may find this interesting. A good friend of mine sent me this link today. And, here is how he introduced it:

If you get a chance to see the news tonight, look out for this news story. It might be worth watching. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4553601.stm George Galloway is an ex-member of Tony Blair’s Labour party who was recently kicked out of the party for constantly criticising Blair and Britain’s involvement in the Iraq war. He was also accused by some U.S. senators of receiving bribes from Saddam Hussein as part of the now discredited U.N. oil for food program. Today he's in front of some committee on Capitol Hill investigating that program. From what I’ve read here he seems to be giving as good as he gets and introducing a bit of robust, argumentative British parliamentary style debate into Capitol Hill. I look forward to seeing these exchanges on T.V. tonight.
