Media Elite Turn Out For Graydon Carter's Tony Blair Interview At MoMA (SLIDESHOW)

Tuesday night, Tony Blair answered questions from Vanity Fair's Graydon Carter at an A-list event at New York's Museum of Modern Art. The two discussed topics including the War in Iraq, Blair's continuing relationship with President Bush, whether the former Prime Minister had seen movie The Queen (he hasn't), and why Blair is optimistic about the global community.

In attendance were Barbara Walters, Matt Lauer, Christopher Hitchens, Maria Bartiromo, Rick Stengel, Ben Bradlee and Sally Quinn.

Having watched the video I have to say I'm very disappointed at Graydon, whom I've always respected to now.
To have done the interview in this setting is bad enough, but all the lavish complements and adulations???

So this runs in the HuPo media section. Makes T. Blair a real society act. Short list:
Iraq.
Distribution of Iraqi oil resources to the major oil companies in the western world.
Lying to the British public in the run-up to this war (which forced an apology to the people given in Parliament only a short while ago) and the convenient "passing away" of Dr David Kelly and furthermore hundreds of thousands of innocent.
Why?

Look at that diversity. How many je wish folk can we get in one room?

If you ever want to give up drinking....all you need to do is to look at the picture of Christopher Hitchens.
