Should be interesting to compare the photos of W with Blair in the truck, and also the ones with Putin when he visited, with photos for when the Saudi king goes to visit Crawford in August, as he's supposed to do. Wonder if W will drive him around in the 4x4. That would be an interesting sight!
We need to not make fun of Blair's clothes. Kristinn just informed me (and I am sorry to say I had forgotten about this British custom) that Blair is wearing a mourning suit (black suit and tie) as a show of respect for the Queen Mother. He will no doubt be seen in this attire in all public appearances until after the funeral.
President Bush also wore a coat and tie at the press conference which just concluded.
So, Mr. Blair gets a plus in my book for continuing a tradition for the royal family and not dressing down although he would no doubt be more comfortable.
