Off-topic for health care but great fun nonetheless. A snooty Minnesotan Republican Senator (who would never have been elected unless Paul Wellstone hadn’t very conveniently died in a plane crash just before the election in 2002) decided to take on a Glaswegian streetfighter who’d already beaten The Daily Telegraph, and the Christian Science Monitor.  Galloway was more than happy to hop on a plane to get his 15 minutes of fame in the US, and to call the Republicans on the disaster they have walked into and exacerbated in Iraq.  And there was little doubt who was going to win, and who did.
