The Policy Blender

Sometimes I fear the third way spinheavy neoliberal media complex. Sometimes I think they have way to much power, that they can willfully smear anyone they like, denegrating them with slander or digging up hidden secrets and deploying them to vicious effect. Sometimes I think they are a heartless evil machine steered from washington by double-speaking cronies.

I worry no more.

Its been years now that Galloway has been public enemy number one for the Blair/Bush administration (just above that saudi fella with the bombs). Years of attempted smears. Years of seemingly unfounded attacks. Years of "he met this dictator we all met". Years of "he made money from oil". Seemingly this has been to no avail, as Gorgeous George rants triumphantly on.

This makes me happy.

If the real big brother can't even sink a fool in a tutu we are all safe.

George is a particular favourite of ours.

Kilroy was too. But he's gone back to Lumpaland.

Yeah, I'm with Chris on this one. I don't necessarily agree with George, but I think he's doing an excellent job of what he's trying to do. The leotard may have been a bad move, but he'll get a lot more attention from the media now, and get his opportunity to say, well, whatever he likes in a very public way, regardless of who he shook hands with in the past. It's going to leave him open to ridicule, and I'll poke fun as much as the next man, in fun, but that's as far as I'll go - when it comes down to it, only time will tell whether Big Brother was all that bad a move for Georgeous George.

"he's doing an excellent job of what he's trying to do"

I agree, though what he's trying to do centres around making money for George Galloway and making himself out to be some kind of saint.

He's Britain's Michael Moore, though not as fat or rich.

He'll have to face it at some point. George Galloway is a very successful capitalist. He's spotted a market, he's exploited it, and now he's rich and famous.
