In the words of Victor Meldrew "I don't believe it!"......

Now this is funny. I'm just browsing around and come across this little gem. It's a site dedicated to getting our own boy wonder, Tony Blair in as the next President of the USA. They have a catchy slogan to head the campaign 'Tony Blair for President'

The whole thing is very surreal. They've even thoughtfully morphed a pic' of the great one with the star spangly thing in the background and the presidential emblem on the dias on which he is four squarely leaning. Do I believe it? I just don't know. But you can get bumper stickers, coffee mugs - and even 'beer steins' with Tony for Pres' stuff on it. The patter is slick, the opening paragraph sets the tone "Between the babbling of George W. Bush on the right, the blathering of the anti-war left, and the cluck-clucking of media hens everywhere, stands Tony Blair, articulate and principled"

Just breathtaking.

The best bit on the site is the PETITION and the comments therein. If you've got the time, have a look at the comments - you could even sign the petition yourself if you feel the need for the omnipotent one to somehow go for 'the big one'. If the people that financed the site thought they'd get maple syrupy apple pie eyed sentimental gung-ho drivel - they are somewhat mistaken.
