I agree.
It is the American voter that has gone wobbly.
Note: Anything that takes more than four years will be in built-in trouble in this Federal system. Two years--okay, four years--questionable, six years--lame, eight years--forget it.
Before 9/11, Blair was on the skids. He then hugged Bush so tightly, one would think they were joined at the hip. Made everyone forget that Tony was Clinton's butt boy ... and that in fact, Clinton sent a team of his slicksters to Britain to get this Blair elected in the first place!
The WOT and George Bush gave Blair 8 more years in power. It didn't make him any less of a Left wing nut job that a healthy Margaret Thatcher couldn't have arm-wrestled into a richly deserved oblivion.
