You know, he's still a poodle, but I gotta respect Tony Blair.

[Fuzz]

Was watching the interview tonight with Jon Stewart.

Blair can at least take a joke and understand them, stand up for his positions and defend them, and answer tough questions on the fly. Doesn't get defensive or insulted, doesn't lash out or insult the other person and can actually have a dialogue. Could Bush get through a two segment interview with Stewart?

He's still a poodle though.

4. What Ommm said

[Mojambo]

2. You can say a lot of nasty things about Blair, but you can't say he's dumb.

Very intelligent man.

[Fuzz]

3. I guess that's what I'm saying.

And he's not a coward hiding from interviews like this.

6. You can't be Prime Minister over there and hide like Bush does here

They have a much more confrontational system.

I guarantee you he's faced tougher questions than Stewart can throw at him.

That being said, Blair is quite responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths and is one of the great villains in this whole saga.

9. The best conversation we've had

I haven't seen an honest discussion about the choices that were made like that one. I came away at least respecting his opinion - because he respected ours.

8. "He's still a poodle though." Yes he is. n/t
