and other groundbreaking appointments saw Hitler appointed as representative for diversity, and Van Hoogstraten appointed representative for commercial relations.
For God’s sake Blair haven’t you done enough damage? You had your chance and you messed it up. Now let someone else have a go, although it will probably take about three generations to sort out the chaos you have created. Shuffle off to America and give lucrative lectures if you must, but please spare us your guilt trip.
That phrase...
Stunning.. utterly utterly bizarre.
Like putting Wolfowitz in charge of the IMF. Oh, well..
Yes, well he didn’t last long. Perhaps Blair is secretly hoping he’ll get shot a die a martyr. And then we’ll all be sorry for being so ungrateful..
You have to expect these things…
Blair has been heading up a primarily protestant country but is turning catholic at the first opportunity, and Gordon Brown is Scottish but turning English as quickly as he can.
“In the contradiction there is the light” , perhaps,
but also: “What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.”
Blair married a Catholic and his children are Catholic so this is to be expected…
I think people who stick to their values and are not hypocritical are the most scary. Blair like Bush believes he is doing the right thing and seeks to impose his values on the middle-east. If he didn’t really believe his own deceptions then he would be easier to manipulate.
