Saddam's butt boy, former Labor MP George Galloway, is on the list of folks getting oil vouchers under the UN's "Oil for Crooks" program. He famously claims he's never seen a barrel of oil. The folks at the Sun decided to broaden his horizons - Galloway rolls out barrel:
SADDAM-supporting MP George Galloway blew his top yesterday after The Sun sent him a barrel of OIL.Several different adjectives come to mind.
Mr Galloway claims he has never seen one — so we arranged for him to have his own 200-litre drum.
It came as the Glasgow Kelvin MP fiercely denied pocketing £1million from Iraqi tyrant Saddam.
His name was on a list of people allegedly rewarded by the dictator with vouchers for millions of barrels of oil.
We delivered our drum, complete with Sun logos to the front door of his £500,000 home in South London.
It sat in his drive for three hours before he dragged it away and hid it from view in an 8ft privet hedge.
One passer-by applauded our gesture and said: “Good on the Sun for sticking it to Galloway. He’s so oily.”
When we asked if he would comment on why his name had appeared on the list put before the US congress, he said: “I don’t have to explain myself to The Sun. I’m not going to talk to you. Why talk to guttersnipes?”Georgie sounds a tad bitter that there's no check from Saddam in the mail! Nice snaps of Georgie with his oil barrel by following the link.
Shall we take that as a No then, George?
