It's just no fun at the moment to bait Blair.<br /><br />As a supporter of the Lib Dems, Tony’s proved to be a great punch bag over the last ten years, particularly when he entered his pseudo-messiah like incarnation period- that was circa 2002, from what I can recall- (although I suspect the evidence of this personality disorder goes back much further).<br /><br />Baiting a lame duck PM who’s on his final farewell to all those world leaders who love him so much, (e.g. <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6699447.stm">Cornal Ker-Daffey-Duck</a>), really doesn't hold the same appeal as it once did.<br />In this weird little period, (& for quite a while actually), he can simply say to his doubters, "Am I Bovvered!”<br /><br />I, personally, still haven't got over the shock of the fact that he did indeed say “Am I bovvered”, to the nation…<br /><br /><br /><br /><object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ScWeQEmsZvY"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ScWeQEmsZvY" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><br />Anyway, I thought I would start a blog to help this weird period we're in go just that little bit quicker & with just a little less pain.<br />Perhaps I'll find solidarity in the 'blog-o-sphere'.<br /><br />When we get to the other side we can say a final "Bugger Off!" to old 'Tone' & begin Brown-Bashing with a passion :).<br /><br />Till then, (& beyond if all goes well), I shall blog :)<br /><br />Perhaps I'll win Lib Dem blogger of the year like <a href="http://oxfordliberal.blogspot.com/">this guy</a> did!<br />- I would be so proud!<br /><br />& if this blog doesn’t quite do it for you, then I guess we can all try <a href="http://www.bored.com/">http://www.bored.com/</a> for distraction through the next few weeks :)<br /><br />Stay Strong!<br />From,<br /><br />‘Gut Liberal’Gut Liberalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08460307286945986750noreply@blogger.com0
