My brother in smackdown, George Galloway.

Notice how, in that video, that Galloway never once takes his eyes off of Coleman. He’s not reading from notes, he’s “live”! He lays out his whole case from memory without stumbling, stuttering, or misplacing a word, staring down Coleman the whole time.

That was perhaps the greatest performance in a testimony before Congress ever. Our politicians should take public speaking lessons from their Brit counterparts. How I wish we had a version of “Prime Minister’s Questions” in the US!

This suggests to me that the Congressional leadership sees the Franken election as a sure thing, and does not wish to expend political capital or risk setting new precedent in a legal process in order to hurry things along. Unless they need his vote at some point.</p> Reid was quoted as saying “We’re just going to do it when it’s necessary”, with regard to seating Franken.
