Why Can't American Politicians Be More Like British Politicians?

I found this on Chicago Life. It is, as Ramsin put's it, "one of the most wonderful things you'll see all month." It's a video, so you need Window Media or Real Player to watch. Sorry to those of you without sound cards, which I estimate make up between 50 and 100% of my readers.

To sum it up, George Galloway, a former member of the Brittish Labor party, was called to testify before a senate committee investigating corruption in the oil for food program. He was accused by the committee of paying bribes to, and in general supporting Saddam Hussein. He really doesn't hold anything back. I especially like the part where he talks about how, despite the unfounded claims of the committee, he only met with Saddam Hussein twice - once in 1994 as part of a campaign against the sanctions, and once in 2002 to persuade him to allow Hans Blix and UN weapons inspectors into the country. He said that was exactly the same number of times that the current Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, met with Saddam Hussein, only Rumsfeld was there to sell him weapons, including chemical weapons, and maps to help him aim them at Iran.
