Tony Blair To Appear On Letterman

NEW YORK — Tony Blair is set for his first appearance on David Letterman's "Late Show."

CBS says the former British prime minister will visit the late-night host on Tuesday for his first appearance on the show.

He's likely to talk about his current projects, including pushing for peace with Palestinians and seeking a climate change agreement.

He also has a foundation that tries to promote understanding among different religions and is teaching at Yale University.

Also on Letterman that night will be actress Julianna Margulies (MAR'-goo-leez), who is promoting her new series on CBS.

When he sponsored that savage invasion of Lebanon (with cluster bombs and all), BBC called him Kim Jong Blair.

I hope Dave remembers to put some wee-wee pads on the furniture.

Still a good doggie huh?

[miksmaster]

Tony Blair should first have to appear before the English people and explain his behavior in backing Bush in an illegal war before appearing on Letterman.

Ah yes, Tony Blair.
W's lapdog has done very well in the States. Bushco has seen to that.

Arrest that war criminal!

[protagonia]

Seconded!

[Scarborian]

Julianna Margulies is going to be on Letterman? What a coup for Dave!

Maybe Letterman could ask Blair just what he did to make the British people and his own party turn on him and kick him out. Let's see if he can give a straight answer.

Great.
Letterman can show us his interviewing skills with a complete heel, Since he just noted Chris Wallace softball.ed Cheney.

The Late Show isn't a news program. The interview with Mr Cheney was done on Fox News Sunday by someone who says he is a journalist. Go back to the Wallace-Clinton interview in 2006 and you will see a huge difference between the two.
