Blair accused of 'stabbing Hillary Clinton in the back' after supporting Republicans

Former allies: Bill Clinton and Tony Blair

 

Tony Blair was accused of betrayal last night as he waded into the American Presidential campaign to support George Bush's Republican world view.

As the former PM recommended Mr Bush's policies to 400 millionaire bankers in Las Vegas, former ally Bill Clinton was campaigning in Nevada for his wife Hillary, who hopes to be the Democratic candidate for the White House and is an arch Bush critic.

In a move liable to be interpreted as a stab in the back for Hillary's campaign, Mr Blair – who was paid £125,000 for his 35-minute speech – said: "George Bush is an amazingly strong and steady President...which is what America and the world needs."

Last night Labour backbencher Jeremy Corbyn said: "A week ago Mr Blair travelled to France to praise the Right-wing President of France and this week he travels to the USA to support the Republicans.

"Is there no end to the extremes he will go to?"

Mr Blair's office denied that his comments were an attack on Mrs Clinton.

ROTFLMAO!

Hopefully Mr. Corbyn has a good supply of Kleenex on hand to dry his tears   :-)

If anyone runs across a transcript or video of Mr. Blair's Las Vegas speech, please feel free to post it here as it would certainly add to this terribly short article.

Thanks!

Everything in the universe revolves around Hillary?

On a cloudy day, Hillary believes the sun stabbed her in the back.

What a freeking evil psycho.

Attaboy, Tony.

“If anyone runs across a transcript or video of Mr. Blair’s Las Vegas speech”

I’m not expecting much media coverage...

Back when Great Britain's current Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, was Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer, he also praised President Bush and his policies, particularly on the war on terror.  This article is from a speech that then-Chancellor Brown gave in New York in 2004

Brown hails Bush's war (Great Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer delivers glowing endorsement)

How extreme to want to win a war! That Churchill, he was such an extremist.

Pity, he only used words to do the stabbing.

What should he have used?

Blair stabbed Hillery in the back?

Good Lord, Mr. Blair, chop Obama with a panga too, he's earned it with what he did in Kenya.

You have the thanks of a grateful nation.

Iraq Liberation Act of ‘98 was signed by Bill. That’s what is so insane about Hillary’s foreign policy.

[Paleo Conservative]

That reminds me, the stakes are really high in this election.

[Past Your Eyes]

[Tax Government]

Let’s just get down to it, and attack Hillary’s character AND intelligence.

Mr. Clinton did all the talk, than left the ‘work’ for the President Bush.
