Monday, Sept. 29, 2003 Tony Blair: Clinton Is 'Weird'

Leftist ignorami such as Barbra Streisand say British Prime Minister Tony Blair was a huge fan of Bill Clinton. Not so.

A new book reveals that Blair said he found former U.S. Clinton "weird," the London Times reported today.

Blair and Clinton had several arguments, one of them lasting 90 minutes, the book "Hug Them Close" says. Author Peter Riddell says Blair was heavily uncomplimentary about Clinton's "contribution" to peace talks on Northern Ireland.

As for Clinton's successor, Blair bombarded President Bush with a stream of confidential advice, particularly after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the book says.

The messages, comparable to those sent by Churchill to Roosevelt during World War II, have up to now remained a secret. British officials, eager to avoid the image of the prime minister seeming too close to the president, have said little or nothing about them.

The book reveals Blair wrote them frequently, in a jerky style, highlighting areas for action.

I wonder if Blair witnessed one of Clinton's purple rages

Blair bombarded President Bush with a stream of confidential advice,

Gee, thanks. How about the interest due on all that lend-lease stuff we sent ya?

[MontanaBeth]

Wonder what he thinks of Mrs. Weird?

[Quilla]

Details! May I recommend The Starr Report?

[FreeAtlanta]

Maybe this is what convinced Blair to consider giving up on the left?

[oyez]

What was his first clue?

Had to wipe away the slime after the initial hand shake.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Perhaps he meant to say that Clinton is "wired".

I played golf with a resident of Chappaqua this weekend. He told me that there is a certain 37 year-old divorcee in town that has spent quite a bit of time at the Clinton houshold, and a certain ex-president who has spent quite a bit of time at hers. This includes seeing secret service vehicles parked in her driveway at an early enough hour of the morning that would indicate an overnight say. According to this person, his affair is common knowledge even to Hillary!.

She has a bigger penis than Mr.?

I'll now prepare a cuppu Earl Grey tea and a crumpet together with a toast to Tony Blair who appears to have more perspicacity than most of us give him credit for.

I wonder how the Secret Service feels about x42id. The stories they could tell................

[arasina]

You can see it's true. Check out the look on PM Blair's face.

[cajungirl]

Ah, I would love to hear stories from the secret service. And I adore Tony Blair and this makes me like him more.
