George Galloway is Respect party MP for Bethnal Green and Bow in East London. He recently electrified the United States with his appearance at a Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations hearing on May 17, when he turned the proceedings into a condemnation of the war in Iraq. CNN's Wolf Blitzer described Galloway's speech in the Senate as "a blistering attack on US senators rarely heard" in Washington.
Galloway's new book is Mr. Galloway Goes to Washington (The New Press) and will be published and timed for national release in bookstores in conjunction with the tour.
Jane Fonda - actress and outspoken critic of the war in Vietnam - will present her views on the occupation of Iraq and introduce Mr. Galloway.

As a professor, are you immediately added to every wacko mailing and calling list? Is it that safe on an assumption that you're definitely an anti-war, anti-John Roberts (referring to the call yesterday) lefty, just because you teach law?
Of course it was, at least in part, his fervent anti-semitism that was responsible for his "electrification" of the Bentham Green and Bow district 4 months ago. But that doesn't matter nowadays: "what do you think about the WAR?" All else is periphery.
Steven: This is email from the Havens Center, which is part of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. It was forwarded to the UW Law Faculty email list. So no assumptions about me were made.
Electrified.... reminds me of "Ole Sparky" with whom I would love to see Fonda and Galloway become acquainted.
