IS EVERYTHING THAT GEORGE GALLOWAY SAYS A LIE? OR IS IT JUST THE STUFF THAT YOU CAN CHECK?

The Guardian again gives George Galloway another platform to defend Saddam. Galloway rants on with stuff that would embarrass Robert Fisk . . .

Leave aside all the obviously delusional stuff. The average high in Baghdad in July, its hottest month, is 110; the average low in July is 78. So where did Galloway’s “100 degrees at midnight” stuff come from? This sort of thing is easily checkable.

It sure seems as if it’s one or the other, but no doubt a truthful phrase does cross his lips from time to time.
