"London, England (CNN) -- Former U.S. President George W. Bush was a "true idealist" who displayed "genuine integrity and political courage," former British prime minister Tony Blair reveals in his memoirs.

Detailing the close professional and personal relationship which developed between the two leaders in the wake of the 2001 terror attacks in the U.S. and during the build-up to the Iraq war in 2003, Blair writes that Bush was "very smart" while having "immense simplicity in how he saw the world."

"Right or wrong, it led to decisive leadership... he sincerely believed in spreading freedom and democracy," he writes in "A Journey;" which hit book stores in the UK on Wednesday

"Blair said the key to Bush's political success was his "appeal as a normal guy." "You might not agree with him, but if you're a voter, you would never think you would be uncomfortable or feel inadequate if you met him socially; you would think he'd be nice and easy with you," he writes. Bush had also displayed the most integrity of almost anyone he had met in politics, Blair says. "I was asked recently which of the political leaders I had met had most integrity. I listed George near the top. He had genuine integrity and as much political courage as any leader I ever met," he writes."

:crazy: :puke: :argh:

If this isn't a bizarro world opinion, I don't know what is!

1. Gee. Blair is still Lying for Pounds. I'm gobsmacked.

[Salviati]

2. WTF?

"would never think you would be uncomfortable or feel inadequate if you met him socially; you would think he'd be nice and easy with you"

Why does it seem sometimes seem that I'm the only person who can see through charasmatic assholes like bush? I mean it's astounding how many people fall for their line of crap.

3. Blair may be right.

George the Wth may have had integrity, but his was matched with brains from Playskool. He was readily swayed by Dick the Cheney who matched W's integrity 1 for 1, only using negative numbers. Kind of like the anti-matter of integrity.

8. Sociopaths have integrity, they are true to themselves to the exclusion of all others.

Integrity requires additional qualities to be admirable. Same with loyalty. I am sure Blair is very proud of his loyalty to Bush.

They both lack the basics required for humanity.

9. well put.

6. Apparently Blair is as dumb as GWB.

Quel suprise.

7. This must terrify the British on so many levels.

Anybody get the feeling these guys' historical rewrites won't catch on?

[Martin Eden]

10. Either Blair is an idiot or he thinks his listeners are.

If the Btitish public is anything like their Yankee counterparts, he may not be half wrong.

[Swede]

11. And after Bush shakes your hand,he wipes his off on the next person.

Us common folks are so filthy.

[applegrove]

12. The very religious Blair is a sucker for a good story.

[kenny blankenship]

13. He should be locked up. The word "decency" has no meaning while Blair and Bush roam free

Just hearing his voice is a fucking obscenity.

[Rex]

14. Right or wrong? Blair you fucking idiot.

Must have some tapes of Blair or photos or is he really that stupid and in denial?

[Canuckistanian]

15. Did he get his Snausage from the BFEE?

Who's been a good boy? YOU have! Yes, you have!

[Angry Dragon]

16. It sounds as if he is talking about a lover

[eppur_se_muova]

17. I've never, ever, heard Bu**sh** described as "normal".

It's just too obvious to most people that that word does not apply.
