I used to watch those Sunday Night showings of the British Parliament ... questions to the Prime Minister. John Major was PM, and Blair was the Labor Oppostion leader. Blair was the most agile, arrogant and quick witted pol I'd ever seen. He was Barney Frank fast, just as sarcastic and he turned Major upside down every single week.
I didn't like him, but man he was a force of nature. My point is .... he wouldn't ever shine Bush's shoes for the tribute. He's got plenty of ego, believe you me. He's here, meeting with our Pres, to strategize a common plan that will be the right thing for Britain, the right thing for freedom and democracy, and by result, the right thing for him! He senses a historical moment, and he intends to be Churchill great. He intends to emerge from this Middle East war as the most influential political leader in Europe. And he will. And he will win, and we will win in that journey as well. God willing!
