It may be right to argue that there is just one living person on this planet with more blood on his hands than Tony Blair. His name is George Bush. With more than one million fatalities in Iraq, he is not far behind Hitler and Stalin, notes Gilad Atzmon. Gordon brown urged European Socialist leaders this week to appoint Tony Blair as the European President. "Get real", he told them, "This is a unique opportunity to get a strong progressive politician to be the president." Brown is obviously correct, nothing could be more refreshing, innovative `real' and `progressive' than assigning the job to a man who has more blood on his hands than any other person in Europe. It may also be right to argue that there is just one living person on this planet with more blood on his hands than Blair. That man dwells in Texas, his name is George and actually unlike our Bonaparte figure, he keeps relatively quiet. Unlike George, our Boney is craving for recognition, he cannot live without a crown or an official title. Someone should remind Boney that he already made it into history; he can really take a break. With more than one million fatalities in Iraq, he is not far behind Hitler and Stalin.

Blair lobbies directly for EU presidency Tony Blair, the former prime minister, has attempted to revive his fading prospects of becoming the European Union's first full-time president by lobbying directly the leaders of France and Germany, EU government sources have told the Financial Times. As Vaclav Klaus, the Czech president, on Wednesday became the final EU leader to sign the Lisbon treaty, which creates the role of president, it emerged that Mr Blair pressed his candidacy in telephone calls last weekend to Nicolas Sarkozy, France's president, and Angela Merkel, Germany's chancellor, a senior London official said. (...) But with no clear frontrunner among the candidates from smaller countries, and with many national leaders unwilling to show their hand too soon, Mr Blair's candidacy may still have life in it, they said.

If he has broken cover and is relying on phone-a-friend, it's over.
