Tony Blair: Can't Remember Meeting John Kerry

Scratch Tony Blair off the list of possible "foreign leaders" who want to see John Kerry president.

Kerry's said he had received enordorsements from foreign leaders he had personally met.

When pressed to name names, Kerry said the endorsements were confidential, and that he bumped into foreign leaders in all sorts of places, including restaurants in New York.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair released the following statement today:

Asked if the Prime Minister had ever met Senator John Kerry, the Prime Minister's Official Spokesman (PMOS) said he didn't know.

He pointed out that the Prime Minister and Mr Kerry had hoped to have a meeting during the Prime Minister's recent visit to Washington, but unfortunately Mr Kerry had been out of town on the day.

I'm fairly certain that the only leaders who want Kerry elected are avowed enemies of America.

I have a feeling that a lot of people can't remember meeting John Kerry. He just makes that little an impression on people.

"...unfortunately Mr Kerry had been out of town on the day."

Hahaha... I think that was a subtle slam, if ever I saw one...

Maybe if we ignore him, he will go away?

Veeeery interesting.

Tony Blair can't afford to be openly partisan - no matter who the next president is, Blair has to work with him. To put even as subtle a zing as this into a press release suggests that Tony may know which way the wind is blowing.

(North Korean dictator) Kim Jong-Il is an avid fan of John Kerry.

"You vote for John Kerry! Vote now, or I'll unleash the ghost of the Dear Leader, Kim il-Sung on your sorry ass! You wouldn't want that. Would you, pansy? I didn't think so!"

I think he was last spotted in the arms of a tall, lanky, Swedish blond. Though, to be honest, it could have been George Costanza.

Kerry: "Actually, I met PM Blair before I never met him. That's a fact."

To the left of Clintoon I believe is the North Korean dictator, Kim Jong-Il.

I'm sure Kerry still has Kim Jong Il, Jacques Chirac, Gerhardt Schroeder, Assaad and the mullahs in Iran.
