Draft Tony
It seems so obvious now. The President alienates entire continents and believes himself to be on a mission from God. The Democrats are weak and stupid. Who can America turn to for stable, forward looking governance?
Seriously, though, has anyone else been exceptionally impressed by this man? He's practical, nuanced and eloquent -- everything George W. is not. Yet he's courageous enough to risk the scorn of the vast majority of his countrymen to stand with an American foreign policy he believes to be moral. (In a typically trenchant essay, David Brooks called Blair "the world's greatest Baby Boomer.") He's almost certain to lose his job for his stand. We should give him a better one.

I can't think of a living American politician that has anything close to Blair's oratory skills.
Posted by: Benny at July 24, 2003 01:35 PMI find most American politicians absolute fruitloops compared to MP's in England. Last time I was nearly every night you'd watch some show where half a dozen MP's would be duking it out live with PhD's and lobbyists and random folks from the audience. It was intense. They really had to hold their own.
Tony Blair is sexy. I want a suit like the one he wore to address Congress.
