    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.
