Maybe it takes a Brit to call someone a 'Lick-spittle, crazed Neocon'

I got a big laugh reading the following story. A British lawmaker has taken umbrage at being accused by the US Senate for Iraqi wrongdoings. Here, you can laugh yourself (or, if the case may be, get upset by it).

WASHINGTON - British lawmaker George Galloway said Tuesday he would reject charges at a U.S. Senate hearing from a “Republican lynch mob” that he profited from the Iraq oil-for-food program.

Pursued by a crowd of British journalists, Galloway arrived at the hearing just minutes before it began reviewing testimony aimed at exposing corruption in the now-defunct U.N. program.
“This group of neocons (neoconservatives) is involved in the mother of all smokescreens,” he said of the committee. “I want to turn the tables on this neocon, pro-Israel, pro-war, Republican lynch mob.”

He earlier told Reuters that he had "no expectation of justice from a group of Christian fundamentalist and Zionist activists under the chairmanship of a neocon (President) George Bush who is pro-war.”

“I come not as the accused but as the accuser,” he added.

Galloway had similar words for Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., who chairs the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which called Tuesday's hearing.

“It’s Mr. Coleman who’s been all over the news and he’s a lick-spittle, crazed neocon who is engaged in a witch hunt against all those he perceives to have betrayed the United States in their plan to invade and occupy Iraq,” Galloway told Associated Press Television News.

Galloway is a witness at the hearing on how ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein used oil to reward politicians, particularly from Russia, France and Britain, under the humanitarian oil-for-food program.
