James C alerted Geeklawyer to a story of the Israelis nearly shoot­ing down Blair when he was being flown by pri­vate jet to a conference.

Nor­mally those damned Israelis throw mis­siles about with all the gay aban­don of a drunken Olympic con­fetti throw­ing team, who have a large sup­ply of explo­sive tipped con­fetti and a burn­ing desire to do really well in 2012.

But whereas when the Pales­tini­ans are involved usu­ally lots of inno­cent women and kids get killed, in Blair’s case they chose that one time to exer­cise restraint. What could have been more deli­cious and ironic than to see the evil slime­bag killed by the peo­ple he sucked up to nearly as much as he did to the US?

Mind you, even if they had fired a mis­sile the chance are it would slipped off Teflon Tony and made its way to the UK and hit ‘Mr Unlucky’ Brown.
