This Blair speech to Congress must've been a last-minute idea

[diplomats]

Usually, speeches to Congress by foreign leaders are momentous. In this case, it sounds like Rove decided to do this to take the news focus away from the emboldened Dems.

1. too many Americans--

--think that a British accent automatically endows the speaker with sophistication, intelligence, and therefore, credibility. I've seen it many times over my career.

4. I agree with that....

I heard people say even the Spice Girls sounded smart because of their accents. :wtf:

8. And some think....

...that a Texas accent means idiot...well, it does in at least one case.

2. Exactly....

And since Blair can actually give a speech without spitting sentence fragments and urging our enemies to "Bring 'em on", it's a lot safer than having the monkey-in-chief speak.

5. now Blair said BUsh gave someone "an eloquent look"

LOL. yeah. that's all Bush can do is give eloquent looks. LOL.

I can't wait to see them together and hear BUSH ANSWER SOME DAM TOUGH QUESTIONS from the media. DO it, CNN, ABC, etc.

3. Originally the trip was to get Congressional Medal of Honor

But the medal "isn't ready". Like jewelers in D.C. have a backlog or something.

Since the joint session was already scheduled, he got to come by and say hi.

6. Bush must have yelled for his pal to help him

Blair is giving us all the Bush rhetoric (and lies) that we're tired of hearing. Will it give it more validity to come from Blair? It's the same old bullshit and they're all giving him standing ovations every four minutes. This is another insult to American intelligence. Shame on them!
