#2 I'm surprised Tony doesn't drink like Churchill, coming home to face that and listen to her harping every day

#3 I think the British people should listen to her -

when they have the exact same level of protection from terrorists and other nutbags that she does.

#4 There is a fine French tradition (even if Danielle Mitterrand and to a MUCH lesser degree Bernedette Chirac have vulnerated it) that teh British should imitate: the consort of the President, Minister or politician SHUTS UP: the person who has the right to speak is the one who has been elected by the people. Having f...d with the Chosen One doesn't give you special rights (and in the French protocol, in the absence of the official his/her consort is very low placed in matter of official honors).

BTW: After seeing the photo of Cherie Blair I am strongly impressed by Tony's courage. My blood curls just at the thought of finding myself alone in teh dark with that ~~banshee~~ vampiress ~~ghoulish apparition~~
woman.

#5 Nancy Astor to Churchill during one of their many arguments "If I were your wife I would put poison in your coffee.'

Churchill: Nancy, if you were my wife I would drink it.'

#8 "At the same time, it is all too easy for us to respond to such terror in a way which undermines commitment to our most deeply held values and convictions and which cheapens our right to call ourselves a civilised nation."

Acting like a craven suckup in response to mass murder by Muslims will do exactly that, Cherie.

#9 Cherie Blair, barrister wife of the British prime minister, lectured on the need to respect human rights in counter-terrorism on Tuesday,..

I seriously doubt that terrorists are having similar thoughts....

#11 "...it is all too easy for us to respond to such terror in a way which undermines commitment to our most deeply held values..."
That much I can agree with, because if we don't start kicking some ass on the domestic front, we are going to sacrifice our values to Islam. Put Cherie in a burka for the duration.

#12 Don't forget she was the solicitor who represented the young lady in her quest to wear dilbab...the young lady's brother was Hizb-ut-Tahrir and was always glowering and threatening from the sidelines...

#14 in a post-Frat-party-drunk-wake-up real-world-Coyote-Ugly sort of way, yeah, I agree...

I think you'll find that picture in the dictionary under Beer Goggles, aftermath - sincere regrets, cuz she knows where you live.
