The following quote from a NY Times article discussing
how Tony Blair's popularity has jumped in Britian
indicates (at least to me) why I'd rather have Tony
leading the U.S. than George...
> The Sun interview, a shirt-sleeves affair in the garden behind 10 Downing
> Street, appeared designed to balance Mr. Blair's recent image as a steely
> war leader confronting critics with a folksier version of an informal
> regular guy. He is to meet this week in London with Prime Minister Jos
> Mara Aznar of Spain, an ally who also had to battle negative opinion, and
> he talked about a light-hearted exchange they had had.
>
> "At one point he rang me to say, `I have the support of only 4 percent of
> the people,' " Mr. Blair said. "I replied, Crikey, that's even less than
> the number who think Elvis Presley is still alive."
Made me laugh.
