George Galloway SS*: Soi-disant Egypt Expert

I know this is a bit late (thanks patellar tendon!) but George Galloway SS* is a tad peeved.

In his Daily Record self adoration piece last week (for anyone else that would be a column) he bemoaned the fact that nobody was asking his opinion about the current situation in Egypt

Don't you think it's a little strange? All the television and newspapers who covered my deportation from Egypt last year…. have completely ignored me during these, the last days of the tyrant's power.

He goes on to announce that he is viewed as almost god-like in Egypt with powers of clairvoyance that puts Nostradamus to shame:

I am the most popular British person in Egypt the man who knew about the imminent downfall of Mubarak. (okay perhaps I exaggerate but you get the drift)

Yet, I have not been interviewed or asked for a comment once by the lamestream media as the Egyptian masses poured on to the streets in their millions.

Hmm perhaps it is because you are a self-aggandising arsehole who will kiss the arse of just about any tyrant just so long as they are anti-American. I wonder if this is why the media hasn’t considered him their first choice as pundit.

* SS in this case stands for Stalinist Shithead and does not relate to the Schutzstaffel

Gorgeous George is yet another politician who is a legend in his own mind.

I'd say Robert Fisk has him beaten 10 to the bar for popularity in the ME. He also knows what he's talking about.

Galloway is a total arse. There's a lot about Fisk I don't care for, Susan, but he has a hell of a lot more worth listening to than Galloway ever could

Another reason could be that from a MP he went down to practically nobody, albeit with a big mouth.

When he arrives somewhere people say "the ego has landed!"
