The Knucklehead of the Day award

After yesterday's carnival were you afraid I couldn't come up with one for today? Put your fears aside.

Today's winner is British Member of Parliament, George Galloway. He gets today's award for saying an assasain would be morally justified for trying to kill British PM Tony Blair.

LONDON - Maverick British politician George Galloway has claimed it would be "morally justified" for an assassin to target Prime Minister Tony Blair, but he said he was not advocating an attempt, according to a magazine interview published Friday.

Galloway was quoted as saying an attack on Blair that caused no other casualties would be a justifiable response to Britain's support for the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

"It would be entirely logical and explicable — and morally equivalent to ordering the deaths of thousands of innocent people in Iraq as Blair did," the monthly GQ magazine quoted Galloway as saying.

However, if he knew anyone was planning such an attack, Galloway added, he would tell police.

Galloway, currently in Cuba, verified the accuracy of his comments in a statement posted on the Web site of his political party, Respect.

This man is a few bricks short of a load, isn't he. Other conservative bloggers have been riding Galloway for a long time. TFM had never felt the man was a knucklehead winner, but had come close a few times. Now I make up for it.

Blair is a democratically elected leader. To see his assaination as being justified is could only be the thoughts of a deranged mind, or in this case a Knucklehead of the day. George Galloway is today's Knucklehead.
