He's almost certainly the only one

I could write all day about George Galloway, about his magnificent self-regard, his contumely, his shoddy demagoguery, how joyous it was to watch him utterly dismantled by Christopher Hitchens (there's a beautiful moment in that debate where Galloway, in full self-righteous spluttering flow (and shouting a lot, because Hitchens knows what he's talking about), refers to "the 9th of September" and takes the wind right out of his own sails just for a moment, presumably aware of how hollow his anger must seem if he can't even remember the date (seared onto the 21st century's consciousness) that started it all, before gathering himself and his boundless hubris and blustering on), how alarming it is to hear evidence that anyone can possibly think that simply by virtue of being rude, shifty, unco-operative and vituperative he can possibly be considered to have, variously, "bested", "shown up" or "taught a lesson to" the US Senate sub-committee, or the insulting way he appears to believe that this empty theatricality should work on all but the most desperate, vulnerable and impressionable people, but what I'm really thinking about right now is this: at the moment Galloway is in the Big Brother House (and while everyone else is up in arms over how it's cost taxpayers almost £3,000 so far to pay him his MP's salary while he's been in there, I'm of the opinion that keeping this canting prat in the BB house indefinitely is the best use of £1,000 per week yet devised) with, inter alia, Rula Lenska. Now, can I really be alone in finding the notion of Galloway imitating a cat (the most self-regarding and self-interested of creatures) getting the cream, as it were, by licking it out of the hands of the woman who once played Morgwyn of Ravenscar, the Devil's harlot, in Robin of Sherwood a deliciously apt one? If this isn't clear, picture the cream as Oil For Food money and the Devil's harlot as George's best pal Saddam (Galloway can stay on his knees in your mind's eye, of course), speaking of whom: did the two of them by any chance ever get together and hash out a courtroom style? Some of Saddam's bluster and evasions in Baghdad have been pure Galloway in their transparent evasiveness. Perhaps Saddam salutes George's courage, strength and indefatigability too.
