Blogger Damned By Praise from Dubious Source
Socialist ideologue George Galloway brought his barnstorming book tour to the friendly confines of Madison Wisconsin on Sunday and ran smack into that city's favorite blogging war hawk, Uncle Jimbo. Thanks to some homemade press credentials and an authoritative stride, he got past security and was able to engage America's favorite anti-American directly:
[Galloway] called on me and I asked him to reconcile his call for troop withdrawal with his warning that a civil war in Iraq was the worst possible outcome. He smacked me back saying that this was a simplistic view of the situation, which I thought unfair since how deep can one get in a two sentence question.
I wasn't going to let that stand as my only shot, so as he tried to wrap up I looked him in the eye and he said "OK, I'll let you back in, my friend" following an explanation of his statement that the planes on 9/11 didn't come out of a clear, blue sky they came out of a swamp created by western policies. My question was, given that Bin Laden's own statements contain many grievances dating to the 12th century wasn't it simplistic to consider recent actions as the cause.
Then he did it. He tagged me with a sentence that may haunt me. I saw him nodding his head during my question and it appeared he came to the conclusion that I was actually calling him fairly on a point. He began his answer saying "I'm beginning to get the impression you might be an honest man" Damn!
