Galloway under fire

Finally, the british have booed Galloway in public. It can't be because he went on Big Brother, where he pretended to be a cat and lapped imaginary milk from a bowl and...no, wait, that did do it. The MP was initially unaware of the impact he had made when he emerged from the Big Brother house on Wednesday night after spending 21 days cut off from the outside world with a bunch of semi-celebrities under 24-hour scrutiny. But a crowd of people gathered outside booed and jeered in a sign of what Galloway, 51, might come to expect following his eviction. Confronted by several unflattering newspaper headlines about his Big Brother appearance by presenter Davina McCall, Galloway said with a faltering smile: "Oh dear, oh dear." [...] Among the more memorable moments was when Galloway impersonated a cat lapping imaginary milk from the hands of actress Rula Lenska and performed a robotic dance in a tight, red leotard with transvestite Pete Burns. His antics drew a scathing reaction from fellow lawmakers. "I think when he next stands up in the House of Commons whenever he dares he is going to be absolutely ridiculed," Alan Duncan, an MP for the main opposition Conservative Party, told BBC television's Newsnight program. Nice!
