Is Bush to blame for Blair's fall? 'Could be!'
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/05/18/wblair18.xml

It began with a shared preference for Colgate toothpaste. It ended today with President George W Bush shrugging when asked if he was responsible for Tony Blair's demise.

"I haven't polled the Labour conference," he laughed. "But, could be!"

Reacting tetchily to the funereal tone of questions asked at their final press conference, Mr Bush accused British reporters, on the day Gordon Brown was declared Labour leader, of showing disrespect to Mr Blair.

"You're trying to do a tap dance on his political grave," he complained. The British "don't understand how effective Blair is, I guess", the president ventured.

2. We 'don't understand how effective Blair is'???
I think we know just what effect he's had on this country ("can't you put that poodle out; he's just ruined the rug!")

Apparently Bush did call Gordon Brown a 'good fella'(!)
