Bush’s poodle is polling at about 30%. The Washington Post calls it the ‘Tired of Tony’ phenomenon. And they have a few choice quotes.
“A lot of people don’t trust him,” said John Hulbert, 70, a taxi driver and Labor supporter who lives on Barnsbury Street with his wife, Jean, a retired teacher. “You couldn’t walk into a pub and talk about Blair — they would throw you out.”
That’s pretty harsh talk from a Labor supporter. I guess this is what you get when you associate yourself with George W. Bush and his delusional and fundamentally dishonest foreign policy aims.
“Iraq is a total disgrace,” [former Blair enthusiast, Verra] Budimlija said. “Sadly, it has cast a big black shadow over the closing days of his being prime minister.”
Yup. But, I don’t know if these are really Blair’s closing days. He doesn’t have to call a new election until 2010. We shall see.
