Post a Comment On: Internal Monologue

I was wondering when Blair was going to come to his senses and quit the poodle act. Via digby we have this story:
The alliance between George Bush and Tony Blair is in danger after it was revealed that the Prime Minister believes the President has 'let him down badly' over the Middle East crisis. A senior Downing Street source said that, privately, Mr Blair broadly agrees with John Prescott, who said Mr Bush's record on the issue was 'crap'. The source said: "We all feel badly let down by Bush. We thought we had persuaded him to take the Israel-Palestine situation seriously, but we were wrong. How can anyone have faith in a man of such low intellect?"
All I can say is, it's about frickin' time. Blair's capitulation to Bush's insanity is something I've never fully grokked. Blair's support has lent a fig leaf of a tiny amount of international legitimacy to Bush's disasterous and immoral Iraq venture, and thereby made it more difficult for people to see it for the colossal failure that it is. I won't easily forgive Blair for being a Bush enabler, just as I won't easily forgive Lieberman for essentially doing the same thing. But at least the orbital mind control lasers are no longer functioning on the British Prime Minister. Joementum has yet to break free of their control.

UPDATE: Taylor Marsh picks up the story, and shows the cover of The Economist:
