This is not a joke

I especially liked this message from Texas;

"Too often it seems many Western European countries have forgotten the sacrifice the U.S. made to come to their aid in the time of need during WWII. We stood with them against the threat of a Soviet invasion of Western Europe, at the cost of American lives and treasure."

Treasure?

[mods: feel free to move as you see fit - wasn't sure where to put it.]

Funny - I thought we were allied, together with the Soviets, against the threat of a Nazi invasion of Europe during WWII...

I liked this one: 'I wish you good luck with that rowdy Parliament of yours.'

The cheek of it!

*the horror!*
Yeah, thanks a lot Tony for ingratiating yourself to the American right wing and ignoring your own citizens, 2 million of whom protested simultaneously about your unjustified megalomaniac plans based on fabricated evidence, thanks a lot. Cheers, let me buy you a pint sometime. C*nt.

Thank you, Tony, for returning Britain to her rightful place as second arms exporter in the world. Thank you for selling to both India and Pakistan, and for exporting Toxic Chemical Precursors to nations around the world in contravention of the Chemical Weapons Convention.

Thank you, Tony.

"As a New Yorker who lived through the Sept. 11 attacks, I know firsthand that the world in which we live demands such courage and conviction for the safety of all civilized peoples".

Yes. Two planes. Constant bombing for weeks. Someone's really not using their brain. Someone's a twat.

Ooh ooh, this has got to be my favourite-

"you are at least half the man that Maggie Thatcher was!"

Damn right he is.

"We proudly display a British flag next to our American flag on our pickup truck".

Yes, Mr. Blair, you do indeed rock.

What's with all the 'whereas'-ing on the front page? Am I missing something or does that not, like, make sense?

I love the Thatcher quote. I'd like to think someone was taking the piss...but I doubt it, I really doubt it.

It's a rather precious reference to an old-fashioned formula for framing resolutions, that's all. Makes them sound like the kind of people who buy those 'your genuine family coat of arms' pedigrees (I am a snob).

Or no, let me correct that: it makes them sound like the sort of people who sell those 'your genuine family coat of arms' pedigrees etc. And now I don't have to feel so bad about being a snob...

Thank you. I guessed I was probably missing something (it's generally a safe bet).

They love him in the US apparently. Please take him away.

Between the babbling of George W. Bush on the right, the blathering of the anti-war left, and the cluck-clucking of media hens everywhere, stands Tony Blair, articulate and principled.

Tony Blair for President 2004
