George Galloway, Pussy
We knew British MP George Galloway was milking his fifteen minutes of fame, but this is just sad. He’s gone from lecturing Norm Coleman to drinking milk out of a saucer on reality TV. If long term respect was on his agenda, perhaps he should have planned last year’s speech before Congress in conjunction with Leather Week. At least it would have been better suited for his “bad boy” image.
From the actual exchange with “once famous” host Rula Lenska:
George: “Would you like me to be the cat?”Rula: “Yes please.”
[George proceeds to clamber down on to the rug beside Rula, and purrs throughout the exchange.]
Rula: “Here pussy, pussy, pussy, yes … more tickles it’s OK … Oooh little pussy cat, there there pussy cat …”
[George slowly licks his lips.]
Rula: “You stay there, I’ll get you some milk, you like that don’t you …”
From Firebrand to Pussycat [The Guardian]
