Cherie Blair went to Bangladesh and opened her mouth

http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_3256.shtml


Cherie Blair in Bangladesh

Enter Mrs. Corleone

In the The Godfather II, Mrs. Corleone leaves her husband: he was, she observed with understatement, "evil." If Cherie Blair ever had such misgivings about her spouse, she has kept them to herself. The fact that she remains married to a man who, if not by the courts, but in the court of public opinion, has been named a war criminal, testifies instead to the shared beliefs of a happily married couple.

None can fault her for such attachment; love is, after all, a many-splendoured thing. But when such a woman visits a Third World country and lectures the people there on "the rule of law" and "human rights," she has gone beyond decency and humanity, and made a mockery of the deaths of over a million people in Iraq.

“I am aware that Bangladesh borders with Burma, a country which is not known as a supporter of the rule of law. And in Burma, there is a woman leader in a political party, who is being detained,” said Blair, who arrived in Dhaka, Bangladesh on Tuesday, 22 April. “I would not like to think that Bangladesh was going along that route. I am sure that the government and the people of Bangladesh want to be applauding human rights and the rule of law." <1>

No one initially knew the reason for her visit, but it turned out that she was here to help one of the two arrested political leaders, Sheikh Hasina. According to the Daily Star <2>: "Cherie Blair, wife of former British prime minister Tony Blair, yesterday said she hoped for the application of the human rights principles enshrined in Bangladesh's constitution. A barrister, Cherie is currently in Dhaka as a consultant to detained former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's legal team. She visited the Supreme Court (SC) yesterday to observe the appeal proceedings of a graft case against Hasina.

a former 'first lady'. I guess you could say that there are two kinds of 1st ladies. ones attached to criminals and ones not. and then sub headings of course.

we need an encyclopedia of the world's first ladys, updated yearly, with an appendage on first gentlemen.

1. I am convinced that the war criminals and their spouses
don't have a clue how the rest of the world really sees them - fucking hypocrites without one shred of decency, credibility or moral superiority.

I get the feeling they believe we are all completely stupid and brainwashed.

Fuck you Cherie as you attempt to rescue another of Tony's puppets. Now tell us who's paying you. :puke:
