UK Anti-War Politician Galloway Making A Fool Of Himself On "Big Brother"

George Galloway made international headlines when he came to the US and testified in front of Congress, chiding them for launching an illegal war. Now he's undermining any credibility he had by appearing on "Big Brother." (It's a much bigger hit in the UK than here, by the way.)

Galloway insists he saw the show as a platform to air his anti-war views. And his party -- Respect -- has sent a letter of complaint to the network that none of his talks with other house members about Iraq have been seen. But there's not much respect left after Galloway had to imitate a cat on a recent show:

During a Big Brother task to see whether "humans can communicate with animals", Mr Galloway asked Ms Lenska: "Now, would you like me to be the cat?"

He crawled on all fours and then pretended to lap from her hands as if drinking cream, after which she rubbed the "cream" from his "whiskers" and stroked his head and behind his ears.

It's a shame when the traditional media lets the far right attack anyone who criticizes the war as unpatriotic or simple-minded. It's even worse when people do it to themselves.
