Over on Harry's Place, Gene posts about George Galloway's upcoming US tour, lamenting that "if I was looking for cities with enough people willing and able to pay good money to hear a Galloway rant, I suppose these are the ones I'd choose."
I don't have much advice for Gene, but might suggest that Galloway's publicists add Coeur d'Alene, Idaho to his itenerary. A few weeks ago, I found a brand-new June edition of the Idaho Observer at my bus stop. It had the usual hodgepodge of loony-right causes, from silly legal theories about admiralty law to dire warnings about vaccinating your children; from half-subtle anti-semitic screeds to ads for tax protester courses.
What surprised me, however, was finding the entire transcript of George Galloway's testimony before Congress. Guess there's something to the old adage about the two extremes meeting.
