He's a chauvinistic, homophobic, authoritarian-apologist, but he did make Norm Coleman and Chris Hitchens look silly in debates. So in my books he is forgiven.

Especially groan-worthy:

"Mahmoud Ahmadinejad commands the loyalty of the poor, the working class and the rural voters *whose development he has championed*."

"This election almost mirrors the class composition of the recent polls in Venezuela. President Hugo Chavez has exactly the same friends in his country. And the same enemies."

Ugh.

"there's more of them than the English speaking more liberal elites now on the streets demonstrating."

What a silly analysis. Whatever he is Galloway isn't a socialist by any stretch of the imagination.
