Although Tony Blair has been President Bush’s obedient manservant when it comes to Iraq, Mr. Blair’s domestic policies are nothing like Mr. Bush’s. Where Mr. Bush has sought to privatize the social safety net, Mr. Blair’s Labor government has defended and strengthened it. Where Mr. Bush and his allies accuse anyone who mentions income distribution of “class warfare,” the Blair government has made a major effort to reverse the surge in inequality and poverty that took place during the Thatcher years.

And Britain’s poverty rate, if measured American-style — that is, in terms of a fixed poverty line, not a moving target that rises as the nation grows richer — has been cut in half since Labor came to power in 1997.

We will make no progress in any area until he is gone completely........the most do-nothing president in decades. Amazingly, just this past week, his administration is finally acknowledging that there is something to this global warming business and that the polar bears may be in danger of extinction. The Bush administration and some tribles in central Africa were the last to figure it out. One of the most advanced countries in the world and our president is bringing up the rear. How the fukk did this happen????
