Bush's Poodle Off The Leash - Blair Retires Today

Today's the day when Bush loses his last (and only) ally in the ever dwindling "coalition of the willing". Tony Blair will officially hop off of George's lap, slip out of the collar, and hand power over to Gordon Brown, who, we suspect and hope, will be a little less docile about being on the wrong end of the leash.
But even with Tony walking out on George, the two are parting on amicable terms. Contrary to an ugly divorce, George praised Tony while scratching him behind his big floppy ears, even pushing to make him Middle East special envoy for UN. Tony Blair was no poodle, President Bush said in a newspaper interview published Wednesday.
"I've heard he's been called Bush's poodle," The Sun quoted Mr. Bush as saying. "He's bigger than that."
Endless Love
"Somehow our relationship has been seen as Bush saying to Blair 'jump' and Blair saying 'how high?' but that's just not the way it works," Mr. Bush said. "It's a relationship where we say were both going to jump together." It's disturbing to imagine what he might have meant by "jump together", but I'm confident that Tony will continue to behave in his new role so that George doesn't have him put to sleep. Bush will miss you Mr. Blair. As for the rest of us.... Good riddance, and about bloody time.
Bark like a dog Tony
