The Daily Mail gives Tony Blair, shall we say, a less than resounding
send off.
Blair's legacy: 10 years that ruined Britain
Here he is. Lights, sound, camera, applause - let's hear it for our ten-year Prime Minister: Mister... Tony. . . Blair!
And so, next Wednesday, Tony will offer himself for our congratulations, a modest little joke on his lips, a modest little smile on his face.
//////////
He will knit his brow to show how sincerely he means this. And up and down the land, the British people will respond with a monumental raspberry.
Somehow Tony Blair has become responsible for everything that has gone wrong in Great Britain over the last ten years. And the thing that most Americans hold him in esteem, supporting the United States like a real ally (as opposed to those whose relationship with us has always been either adversarial or parasitical) hasn't gone over to well with scribbler
Max Hastings...
He is admired only by Right-wing lunatics in the United States, for the worst possible reason - that he backed Bush's Iraq adventure.
'Course maybe they don't like him because as
Mark Steyn said back in '04...
We Bush warmongers have grown fond of Mr Blair: often, he's a better salesman for American policy than the President.
