I told you so.
From Terry McAuliffe’s new book: “Asked by Cherie Blair what Americans thought of her husband, McAuliffe responded that ‘most people think you’re a lap-dog for President Bush.’ Cherie Blair then elbowed her husband and said ‘See, Tony, I told you so.’”

Tony Blair is no longer master of his domain….
January 19th, 2007 at 3:14 pmHmmm figleaf is more like it…
January 19th, 2007 at 3:16 pmThe Letter Handed into Parliment - Independent fron page news
‘Sick or injured children, who could be easily treated, are left to die in hundreds’
“We are concerned that children are dying in Iraq for want of medical treatment. Iraq, instead of being a country at the top of the league for medicine, as it once was, now has conditions and mortality of a Third World country.
Sick or injured children, who could otherwise be treated by simple means, are left to die in their hundreds because they do not have access to basic medicines or other resources. Children who have lost hands, feet, and limbs are left without prostheses. Children with grave psychological distress are left untreated.
We understand that the UK may withdraw its forces from Iraq in 2007. Before this happens, we call on the UK Government not to walk away from this problem, but to fulfil its obligations that it entered into under Security Council Resolution 1483 during the period 22 May 2003 to 28 June 2004.
This Resolution recognised the UK and US as being occupying powers in Iraq but also stated that they had to comply with the Geneva and Hague Conventions. These Conventions specifically require the occupying powers to maintain order and to look after the medical needs of the population. This they failed to do, and the knock-on effect of this failure is affecting Iraqi children’s hospitals with increasing ferocity. We also ask the UK, as one of the Occupying Powers designated by Resolution 1483 as Trustees of “The Development Fund For Iraq,” to properly account for these assets estimated at $23bn in May 2003. It is asserted that by June 2004 some $14bn vanished in corruption, theft and payment to mercenaries.
We ask that all the revenues from Iraq’s oil now pass directly to the Iraqi people, and that illegal contracts entered into by the Coalition Provisional Authority are revoked.
Only in this way can the Iraqi people rebuild their country with its infrastructure, administration, and hospitals.”

Doctors issue plea to Tony Blair to end the scandal of medical shortages in the war zone
January 19th, 2007 at 3:18 pmI thought Fried Rice was Bushie’s lab dog.
January 19th, 2007 at 3:22 pmTo which Mr. Blair replied:
“Yap, yip yap yap Arf!”
January 19th, 2007 at 3:28 pmI’m not sure what hurt Tony Blair more: getting elbowed in the ribs or being called out as a Bush boot-licker.
January 19th, 2007 at 3:31 pmA Must watch on TV
http://www.channel4.com/ more4/ drama/ t/ trial_tony/ index.html
Watch the Clip where George Bush has been found commotosed Though drink at his ranch
ha ah aha a funniest thing ever on TV
January 19th, 2007 at 3:33 pmYou guys are wonderful. You must all have got nice pooches like Blair and his tail wagging cabinet.
January 19th, 2007 at 3:34 pmThe shake-out between liberal netrooters and the Clintonistas is going to be interesting - so far, it appears that the netrooters are winning.
January 19th, 2007 at 3:47 pmAnd Jason posts another non-sensical strawman which has nothing to do with the subject: Jason is no longer master of his domain, if he ever was.
January 19th, 2007 at 3:53 pmI’m not sure what hurt Tony Blair more: getting elbowed in the ribs or being called out as a Bush boot-licker.

…in company….oy.
January 19th, 2007 at 4:11 pmIt is some time in the future. Gordon Brown is moving in. President Clinton is looking for her second term in the White House. And Tony Blair has swapped the corridors of power for carpet swatches in his home in Connaught Square.
But some things don’t change: in Iraq there’s no let-up to the daily death toll and the ex-PM is as obsessed as ever with his legacy.
January 19th, 2007 at 4:13 pmTony Blair is going to be kicked out of his position, later this year, so good riddence to the Bush poodle dog > lol.
January 19th, 2007 at 4:17 pmTrue Jay But he will go to america and work for millions seeing as though he is in debt to about 1 million Dollars since his house price crashed
So saying good riddance is actually true
January 19th, 2007 at 4:29 pmwell - it’s very simple and obvious…
the world would be a much better place if
MEN WOULD JUST LISTEN TO AND HEED THE ADVICE OF THEIR WOMEN.
it’s so easy…
January 19th, 2007 at 4:30 pmAccording to insurance claims on file at the Department of Labor, 770 civilian contractors have been killed in Iraq since the war began in March 2003 through Dec. 31 and 7,761 civilian contractors have been injured. The contractors include foreign workers.

I’m sorry, katy, but I must disagree.
The world would be a better place if MORE women were in power.
January 19th, 2007 at 4:48 pm:)
Women have the cooch, they should just withhold it.
I also think more women should just be in power.

It seems you are not as popular as you once thought… but I guess you learned that in November didnt you?

well, of course! … but i wouldn’t call that disagreeing…
January 19th, 2007 at 7:17 pmit would be hard to argue with that statement!…
rachel kinnardi,
Please add me to your list.

Is your psyche so fragile that you can only communicate with those who agree with you?
Is your ego so large that you think anyone cares about your no fly list?
Do you really think your ploy to prevent others from critizing what you post will work?
I feel sorry for you, because your mind is locked in a small cage, with no room to grow.

Comment by RUCerious — January 19, 2007 @ 3:28 pm
That’s not the half of it. It started with what Blair heard: “blah blah blah, Ginger, blah blah” (from an old Far Side comic captioned “what we say and what they hear”).
January 19th, 2007 at 9:07 pmRachel, hon, you’ve posted The List (TM) six times now on four different threads, and you have managed to misspell my name every time. For the last time, it is “Kint” not “Knit”. When you treat my name so cavalierly it makes me feel unimportant to you, as though I don’t really belong on The List (TM).

What are you 10 years old or something? Pull your fingers from your ears and grow up.
