Cherie [Blair] said Bush 'stole' power and tackled him on executions

Ah, give Cherie a break, folks. She probably just misses The Rapist's affectionate ass grabs, or maybe "deep" conversations about chakras and psychic healing with his idiot Hollywood friends. Let the woman be herself: shallow, stupid and deluded.

A human interest story that the four of them mixed it up a little bit. Cherie Blair has nothing to apologize for regarding that dinner conversation; she's an avowed liberal. BTW, I support capital punishment; on abortion, I support it with limits, as a state matter.

However, anyone who, like Cherie, trumpets the "Bush stole power" bit is both wrong and indiscreet.

[Stultis]

(in this case) powerful women

Bwahahahahahahaha!

Was that satire, or could you be serious?

[faithincowboys]

Just one of my many sure thing hunches. The Blairs, Cherie in particular, practically kissed Clintoon's ring.

Yup, the Bush stole the election deal got my dander up,,but I doubt she said it to him. I am mystified that people are so shocked that these four might actually have spirited disagreement and discussion. Most people do with their friends and acquaintances and we aren't even politicians. I also think Bush and Laura can hold their own in any discussion and probably enjoy real encounters. And if Laura and Cherie disagree with husbands positions, well, what is new?? It wasn't said on a podium at a state dinner. Cherie does sound like a pain in the neck.

We must remember to thank Mr. Drudge for this crop of new signups! They are providing sparkling analyses of Free Republic! (/sarcasm)

Your pathetic putdown provides a better insight to your politically correct lamer psyche.

WOW....what a surprise! I got here by way of Drudge......it's the top story on his site....above his site logo!


Is this the first time he's linked directly to FR since he stopped his original link?

Interesting to read this about Cherie Blair. I guess the body language is all wrong then when they greeted the President and First Lady in England recently. Kisses and hugs and smiles. Cherie seems very warm towards our President and First Lady. Odd to read this. Everything written is not correct, so who knows what the story is. Seems that if this author is trying to show disdain towards our President.

"I missed that too. I still would not invite someone in my home and then start such a debate with them. Still shows a lack of class in my book."

I agree. You only talk about hot topics like that with good friends you've known for years and who won't be offended by different viewpoints from their own.
She embarrassed her husband and herself IMHO.

[Stultis]

Sounds as if it was a good dinner table talk,,some people enjoy it. Hey, in some quarters it is an ideal occasion if everyone mixes it up.

Agree. At my house you're only penalized for avoiding an argument. I would certainly argue respectfully with Cherie in person, but at a suitable distance the combination of her arch euroleftist views, her soft spot for palestinian thugs, and her loopy new age beliefs, are just too ripe a target for disdain and ridicule.

[Hand em their arse]

Do you mean from Bill or Hil?????

[cajungirl]

Well, we aren't all guys.

Most of us aren't neurotic, paranoid maybe, but not neurotic.

The nations didn't cooperate my dear, so we had to strong arm,,you have a probablem with that. We are the most powerful nation on earth, that a problem for you? We are pretty damn nice given that the power residing in this country dwarfs the rest of the world. Occasionally we ask for cooperation and don't get it. Then we just have to do our thing.

You are supercilious. I think you might be neurotic. If you were around her long, you might find out there are minorities, all kinds of people here. We have a group intolerance for supercilious little pricks who try to use shame as a tactic to silence others.

Have a good day on your particular horse.

Timing is everything, isn't it. Cherie Blair thinks President Bush stole the election from Al Gore. Lo and behold, we have another election this year and this juicy book is published.

I can't wait to see the media's worship of Bill Clinton's book later this year. They will, of course, pick and choose, point out and discuss all things negative about President Bush. (The irony, of course, is that Bill's book will not enhance his "legacy" as he wishes, but will instead give all the attention to the Left's archenemy, George W. Bush.)

I'm beginning to think of the media as not unlike the suicide/homicide bombers in the Middle East, Iraq. and elsewhere. They set a Bushbomb, watch from a distance as it explodes, emphasize that the Bush presidency is a quagmire all its own and that we need to "bring the troops home" (to the good ole' Clinton way of governing) and get the U.N. involved (in removing Bush as an obstacle to America's being "liked" by the world).

People are going to be making more than one choice this November. They will be voting for or against media lies, distortion and manipulation in addition to electing those who will take our nation either back to sovereignty or to a position as "Most Popular" in the World Yearbook.

As for Cherie Blair, she has a right to speak her mind. It's up to voters to decide whether or not to allow her to influence their votes in this year's General Election (Side note: We don't read about the other side--what President Bush said---in the liitle argument about capital punishment. I imagine he responded that America leaves it up to the individual states to decide that issue.)

Photo below is from a television shot during Prime Minister Blair's speech before Congress on July 17, 2003. Another bit of irony: the words superimposed on FNC's banner, highlighting a point from Blair's speech.

Hey yall, this was linked from Drudge! In my early morning fog I didn't note that I went to Drudge and ended up at FR. What is up with that???

Same thing happened to me.

Hope this is a sign of warmer relations between Drudge and FR. I owe them both a great deal. I found FR through a link on Drudge years ago and have had both sites as my daily "must reads" ever since.

Had it been otherwise I might still be depending on the local rag and Tom Brokejaw for my daily news. And what a colossal shame that would be!

[Bluntpoint]

How honest was Clinton-Gore?

[JCG]

Then, they log out of their computers and go back to their daily lives of cowardice and neurotic behaviour...

But, Howard, shouldn't you be out campaigning instead of writing sappy screeds in a world class political forum like FR?

Eeeeyaaa!
