Lady Wormtongue leaves Lord Hee Haw in the lurch
Looks like moonbats of a feather don't always flock together.
CHICAGO -- Jane Fonda couldn't make it. But about 300 antiwar activists did show up Monday night at Thorne Auditorium on Northwestern University's downtown Law School campus to attend the Chicago stop of British Member of Parliament George Galloway's 12-day "Stand Up and Be Counted: No to Lady Liberty Having the Faintest Chance of Survival War and Occupation" tour.

Fonda, the Oscar-winning actress and traitor during the Vietnam War and longtime critic of U.S. foreign policy, was expected to speak Monday. But in a statement read to the crowd before the rally, she apologized for being unable to attend because doctors advised against travel while she recovers from hip surgery.
IIRC she made it to Madison the previous day. I may be wrong, though.
Fonda's absence disappointed some in the crowd, although many were more eager to listen to Galloway, a traitor who was on Saddam's payroll Scotsman who began his own political party after he was expelled from British Prime Minister Tony Blair's Labor Party for his opposition to the Iraq war.

On May 17 Galloway, a Respect Party representative for an East London area, condemned the war in Iraq at a U.S. Senate subcommittee hearing.

U.S. senators had accused him of receiving options to buy discounted Iraqi oil in return for helping Saddam Hussein's regime evade United Nations sanctions. Galloway denied the allegations, right before his lips fell off.

During the rally, Galloway and other speakers were critical of the military involvement of the United States and Great Britain in Iraq, as well as the U.S. government's recent response to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The crowd laughed at Galloway's jokes and applauded his sharp attacks on American and British politicians as he called for troops from both nations stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq to be sent home.

"There's nothing anti-American about me. And I'm not against the troops," Galloway said. "We love the troops so much that we're demanding their immediate withdrawal from harm's way."
"Peace, you see, is worth chains and slavery. Freedom carries too high a price tag."
"I heard the guy testify before Congress," Dennis Solt of Park Ridge said about Galloway. "He made sense. He's got [no conscience] [guts], unlike our legislators. If we had 12 people like him in Congress, we'd be a lot better off."

"He tells it like he wishes he could honestly believe it were it is," said Rick Daniels of Lake Forest.

A student member of UIC's Campus Antiwar Network also spoke at the rally, urging people to support "relief not war" and pledge money to help hurricane victims along the Gulf Coast.
One beauzeau is bad enough, at least there weren't two.
Moved to today. Make sure you check your dates; sometime a late post doesn't roll to the next day like it should. Also check your tags very carefully if you're entering them by hand instead of using the editor buttons. Finally, snarky in-line additions go in strike-out text, not bold. Thx, AoS.
