One year on: Blair told it’s time to quit
George Bush yesterday ignored global anti-war protests on the anniversary of the war in Iraq and instead proclaimed that it had been “good for America”.

But in sharp contrast Tony Blair remained publicly silent as tens of thousands took to the streets in London and Glasgow while the former Labour foreign secretary, Lord Owen, used the occasion to call on Blair to stand down, saying his “shelf-life” was almost over and he should not repeat the mistake of Margaret Thatcher by staying too long.

The poodle is toast, but undoubtedly a lifelong Carlisle Group safety net awaits him. Poppy's money: the ultimate golden parachute.

2. You know....
......you're absolutely right.

Poppy Bush relinquished his seat on the Carlyle board recently, I'm sure they'll keep that vacancy for "The Bliar" when his shelf life is up.
