Blair On The Daily Show

As Red Tory (happily Canadian and so outside the Iraqi, even if not the Afghan, mess) puts it:

"How strange watching Tony Blair on TDS last night. Stranger still was the enthusiastic applause that he received from the audience. People really are clueless. But as the ITN News commenter dryly remarked, Americans did take him to heart for whatever reason — perhaps because, unlike George Bush, he was so much better at articulating his earnest convictions about the war in Iraq; completely wrong-headed though they were."

Except, of course, that they were not "earnest convictions".

They were lies.

About which Jon Stewart never asked him.
