Ah, give Cherie a break, folks. She probably just misses The Rapist's affectionate ass grabs, or maybe "deep" conversations about chakras and psychic healing with his idiot Hollywood friends. Let the woman be herself: shallow, stupid and deluded.

WOW....what a surprise! I got here by way of Drudge......it's the top story on his site....above his site logo!


Is this the first time he's linked directly to FR since he stopped his original link?

Interesting to read this about Cherie Blair. I guess the body language is all wrong then when they greeted the President and First Lady in England recently. Kisses and hugs and smiles. Cherie seems very warm towards our President and First Lady. Odd to read this. Everything written is not correct, so who knows what the story is. Seems that if this author is trying to show disdain towards our President.

Timing is everything, isn't it. Cherie Blair thinks President Bush stole the election from Al Gore. Lo and behold, we have another election this year and this juicy book is published.

I can't wait to see the media's worship of Bill Clinton's book later this year. They will, of course, pick and choose, point out and discuss all things negative about President Bush. (The irony, of course, is that Bill's book will not enhance his "legacy" as he wishes, but will instead give all the attention to the Left's archenemy, George W. Bush.)

I'm beginning to think of the media as not unlike the suicide/homicide bombers in the Middle East, Iraq. and elsewhere. They set a Bushbomb, watch from a distance as it explodes, emphasize that the Bush presidency is a quagmire all its own and that we need to "bring the troops home" (to the good ole' Clinton way of governing) and get the U.N. involved (in removing Bush as an obstacle to America's being "liked" by the world).

People are going to be making more than one choice this November. They will be voting for or against media lies, distortion and manipulation in addition to electing those who will take our nation either back to sovereignty or to a position as "Most Popular" in the World Yearbook.

As for Cherie Blair, she has a right to speak her mind. It's up to voters to decide whether or not to allow her to influence their votes in this year's General Election (Side note: We don't read about the other side--what President Bush said---in the liitle argument about capital punishment. I imagine he responded that America leaves it up to the individual states to decide that issue.)

Photo below is from a television shot during Prime Minister Blair's speech before Congress on July 17, 2003. Another bit of irony: the words superimposed on FNC's banner, highlighting a point from Blair's speech.

Yikes! Maybe she needs a history lesson on American voting protocols.

In the above picture, it appears Laura sees through the holier than thou "lady".

Very interesting... but rediculous and sad.

The Supreme Court didn't "hand the keys to the Whitehouse" to President Bush - The voters did. I know this is difficult for some to believe, but Bush received more votes in Florida, even after converting dimples to votes in Democrat counties. But Gore and his gang said they just know in their hearts he received more votes ("all we need is another manual recount in select counties!") - AND everybody believed them, despite the factual evidence that proved otherwise!!!

... gee, if only Gore could have just had another recount in Democrat counties using new tabulation methods... just maybe...

Does anyone remember the pictures of the first time the President and Laura visited England after the election? Mrs. Blair and Mrs. Bush rushed toward each other to hug. It certainly looked genuine.

I believe this report is mostly bunk. Sure, she probably has dicussed their differences of the death penalty, but so what. I love a good political debate myself, particularly with someone of opposing view.

---sigh---if only women were running the world, no bread crumbs on the floor, everyone walk in a straight line, keep those bathrooms free of germs, no males to bad-mouth, etc etc

Tony rocks. He can and should do better.

[Vision]

Is anybody else aware that drudge has linked directly to this thread?

Never seen that before...

[trek]

I think we should meet this Brit half way. We will eliminate the death penalty for guilty adults on the same day that we eliminate the death penalty for innocent unborn children. I would be satisfied with that as a fair compromise.

[Jened]

congrats on the drudge linkage!!!! i visit his pages daily and don't remember a fr link on their before!

[johnsinton]

Its nice that the British and Americans live in a society that allow them to have opinions, and if the American people don't like George Bush then they can get rid of him in November. About the death penalty; we generally only use it in cases like home invader steals $200 and shoots 5 people in the head, or man rapes and kills multiple women in a horrible way. Also, every legal avenue must be explored, taking years and years. I frankly wish the police would "accidentally" have to kill a lot of these people (like the Washington sniper) instead of spending millions of $ to send them to jail and keeping them alive all their natural lives in jail.

While the parallels between Cherie are Hillary are present, the parallels between Cherie and Abraham Lincoln's wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, are more astounding. Lincoln's wife embarrassed him at every possible moment.

I guess Cherie isn't as bad as Mary Todd, because her abuse even included physical abuse (lots of it) which any simple web search can prove. After reading the book "Lincoln the Unknown" I was in shock. They should make a movie about it.

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

I understand why Mrs. Blair gets along so well with the Clinton's. It also brings into question just which side of the Atlantic needs an improvement in manners.

[McGavin999]

Well, we're taking a little break from bashing George and Tony so now we'll concentrate on bashing the wives. Perhaps that will work to turn the people against these two leaders.

One crime was committed during Florida 2000.

The Stolen Votomatic.

My notes (made in 2000) follow.

Forgotten in the hectic closing days of the Florida fiasco is the matter of the stolen Votomatic.

It was found after the election by Palm Beach police in the car trunk of one Mr. Slosberg (sp?) a Democrat politician who was not a member of any canvassing board.

Treating it as a possible theft the police dropped the case when the Democratic leader of the Palm Beach Canvassing Board, Ms. LaPorte, decided not to press charges.

It was, obviously, entirely incorrect for this to be treated as only an attempted theft. This Votomatic could have been used to fabricate votes for Al Gore. It could have also been used to create 'overvotes' thus spoiling any ballots that voters made for Bush. (Gang-punching votes for Gore on voters' ballots would spoil those which were originally voted for Bush.)

It could have been used to fabricate votes in Palm Beach or in other nearby Florida counties such as Broward or Miami-Dade. It could have been used after the election or before the election.

Snotty British morons should learn more about that election before making fools of themselves.

Why do lefties always plead for the "human rights" of the criminals and never the victims?

She should try to console victims families instead.

"A Downing Street spokesman said: “She has always had a good relationship with President Bush and has of course discussed many issues with him, including capital punishment. The discussions have always been good-natured.”
