On further thought, and after reading these Oliver Kamm and Christopher Hitchens pieces (which I recommend) [hat tip to Michael B in the comments], I thought this was a more appropriate picture of Galloway than the one in the entry below:

Also today Kamm quotes Hitchens, and again Galloway is the low target of Hitch's descriptive prowess:

"[H]e looks so much like what he is: a thug and a demagogue, the type of working-class-wideboy-and-proud-of-it who is too used to the expenses account, the cars and the hotels - all cigars and back-slapping. He is a very cheap character and a short-arse like a lot of them are, puffed up like a turkey. He has managed to fuse being a Baathist with being a Muslim sectarian and a carpet bagger in the East End - as well as a front for a creepy sub-Leninist sect, the Socialist Workers' Party. He's got the venomous riff-raff at one end and your one-God fanatics on the other. Wonderful. Just what we need."
