The race to pick a new leader for the British Labour Party has boiled down to a race between two brothers. Their disagreement is, at its core, about whether the New Democrat/ New Labour philosophy is the best a centre-left government can aim for.

Tony B-liar should have been siting next to Radovan Karadzic at the Hague. There is not much difference between both of them other that Tony can "talk" more and more.

I think something traumatic happened in Tony Blair's life. I have followed his politics and have always felt that he was smart and charismatic, bordering on brilliant. The atrocious deference to GWB, who I believe he was intellectually superior to, was stunning. There is more there than meets the eye.

If this is true, then I think Mr.Tony Blair owes apologies all around. I recall that movie about
"The Queen," and I thought that it was, indeed, well done. What about this charge,
Mr. Blair?
