Have you ever watched or listened to Blair's sessions with the British parliament? I've never actually watched this so don't know if C-Span has it on their TV coverage, but have listened to it on C-Span radio a number of times. He's always cool, calm and collected, and very witty. But he has to be. He is getting hit from all sides by challenges from the members of Parliament, and they're actually quite rude in substance, and often in tone. Nothing like our Congress, especially not the Senate, which is about as exciting to watch as golf or croquet. I wonder if the British system produces men like Blair, or vice versa? At any rate, wish we had someone more like him. When I look back on it, all of our presidents in my lifetime seem like bumpkins next to him and Maggie Thatcher. Except maybe Kennedy.
