#1 Someone should remind her that the spouse of a PM has the right to shut up and wave to the cameras. The right to open it is acquired through elections not through sleeping with the PM. Same thing for Mrs Clinton.

#3 Cherie Blair's and Laura Bush's political leanings are no more important to me than Hanoi Jane's or Michael Moore's . I feel sorry for Tony, though: apparently Cherie thinks that her rudeness will further her agenda. Must be some French genes, Cherie!

#4 I respect Tony Blair more and more. I would have cracked under that type of pressure - if you know what I mean.

#6 Thus, by her comments and her behavior, Cherie Blair shows that her politeness and high class culture is only as deep as her makeup...

Note that Bush's response to Cherie's nailing him on the death penalty issue is not given. Was Tony Blair embarrassed by Cherie's discourtesy in raising the issue, or in sympathy to Cherie's shocked reaction when Bush's reponse not only nailed HER between the eyes, but doubtless showed that he wasn't a moron? Why else would the presidential response not be given, save to preserve the illusion that he's a moron?

#7 Ptah: That's exactly why the the reason wasn't given. Stephens only asked two of the four people who knew what happened. He didn't ask President Bush what his response was and Mrs. Blair sure as hell didn't tell him.

This book is just another attempt to smear President Bush. It's a shame that Tony Blair has been dragged into this by his wife.

#8 "This book is just another attempt to smear President Bush"

No offense, Charles, but why would you think that a biography of Tony Blair would have the purpose of smearing Bush?

Strange it may seem to you, but not *every* thing revolves around America and/or Bush. This book in particular probably revolves around Blair, if I may judge from its title.

#11 Too bad England isn't Muslim. Then Tony need only say 3 times "I divorce you, you silly biatch." and be done with it.
