"Princess Diana was captivating, over-emotional and a "manipulator," former British Prime Minister Tony Blair says in his new memoir. "

We already knew she was a woman.

So? Lots of attractive and powerful people are manipulators.

Tony, Tony,

Can't we let the dead rest in peace. What good does it do anyone to bring this up now. You give fuel to her enemies and hurt her sons and family.

Sometimes, Tony, discretion is the better part of valor, and you've shown neither. I expected better from you. That was my mistake.

Wow, every day he goes up another notch in my book.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Many good looking women are manipulators.

[I cannot think of a name]

Beautiful women will use their beauty to manipulate men - who the heck would have thunk it!

Also included in the book - night follows day, heavy objects dropped from a building will always fall downward, and sleeping in the rain with your mouth open may cause drowning.

this is news?

this was painfully obvous.

she wanted to be queen, she did what she had to.

This will do great things for Tony’s popularity. I’m sure it’s on the front page of all the British tabloids.

Di would be with us today if only Dodi had thought twice before hiring a chauffeur named Toonces.

Beautiful princess?

As someone once said, “Put a blue smock on her and she looks like any clerk at K-Mart.”

[Sans-Culotte]

Funny, I never found Di to be remotely attractive. If I passed her on the street, I wouldn’t take a second look. You could slap a wig on her eldest son and he’d look just like her.

i wonder if Blair is still covered under The Official Secrets Act

[WarEagle]

I have long been of the opinion that Diana was a world-class manipulator. She wanted to be princess, she manipulated herself into it. She wanted love, too, which leads me to believe she had no contact with the reality of the world in which she lived. When she couldn't get love, she manipulated her way out of her marriage, including the Andrew Morton book, the Squidgy tapes, and the calculated campaign to blacken Charles' name.

Had she lived, she would have been just another rich woman.

[jongaltsr]

Is anyone surprised that a girl (woman) who sold herself for a title as “princess” wouldn’t be devious, and two faced as a result?

What business is it of Tony Blair’s if Diana wanted to have a relationship with Dodi Fayed?
