C-Span has the full 45 minute testimony by George Galloway to the US Senate Committee online now. But it's worth revisiting the UK election night. First, the declaration of the poll in Bethnall Green and Bow and Galloway's victory speech, in which he goes on to tip the bucket on the competence of the electorate returning officer. Then, watch what is surely one of the all-time great television interviews - a classic exchange between Galloway and BBC bovver boy Jeremy Paxman. (The BBC Online election blog has a transcript.)

Today's edition of The Guardian has an item in the book section about the launch of Galloway's new publishing imprint, called quite appropriately, Friction.
