Tony Blair has some advantages to be titular head of the heads of 27 states: name recognition, spin experience, fully networked, and comes equipped with a team of heavies - among others. From the European Council internal management point of view, he's perfect, because he's a good salesman.
The problem is - and it is the very worst problem for all the citizens of Europe - that what he's selling is not a united, fair, democratic Europe. He sells power. Tony Blair is not interested in solutions, he's interested in how our problems can enrich him and his cronies. In that, he is no different from a majority of all politicians, ambulance-chasing lawyers or professional wrestlers. Tony Blair is the Hulk Hogan of international diplomacy. You can't be me, I'm taken
the main reason blair doesn't deserve the gig is that he is a mythomaniac.
his tenure as leader of the UK was a triumph of lies over honesty, spin over substance, phony charm over wisdom or reason, leaving the country way worse off than before, both economically and morally.
but his neocon murderousness was only the prelude to his current gig, being cloyingly unctuous and politically vapid, while raking in the shekels.
the ultimate example of a human zero, great talent and intelligence sold in a faustian deal with the devils of MIC and the City-bankster-mafia.
hell, special corner, etc...
but until then, the Hague will do fine.
there, that's not too ad hom, is it?
