Just exactly what benefit George Galloway thought he would gain from CBB is beyond me. Mega-publicity? Sure. He's been all over the papers, but in a bad way, since he went in. If he thought it was going to make him and his anti-war message more relevant to 'the kids' then god knows he didn't suceed. The under-30 brigades may now know who he is, but they ain't listening to what he's saying. Did he really think that he was going to be allowed long, erudite debates about the legality of the Iraq war? On prime-time entertainment TV? He should have stuck to the slaying of right-wing dragons through US Congressional testimony (easily the best TV of last year) and chinning the Telegraph (glorious). I saw him speak not long ago and live and unadulterated he's electric, but CBB exposed one of the reasons that he is -- his ego and his certainty that he is right. All the time. That never looks good on TV. And then there was that gawd-awful CAR CRASH thing with Rula Lenska and her pussy. Ooo, missus.
