Former PM TONY BLAIR works the crowd outside Letterman Show

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was more than happy to cross the street and sign lots of autographs. He worked the crowd like the old pro politician that he is. He signed autographs and posed with fans gathered outside the David Letterman Show, where he had just appeared as a guest. I got some good video of Mr. Blair.

He still pulls 'em in like the superstar he is. We miss his leadership, political nous, style and class here in Britain. Some of us, anyway. But you never hear about that, do you?

The bodyguards looked mighty relieved to get him safely into the car. What a world we live in.

The press here in Britain are after his blood. And they think the Iraq war Inquiry is the place to get it.

Please sign this petition if you support Tony Blair's right to justice too.

It seems unfair to put Blair on trial for the Iraq war. What about the people who gave him the false intelligence. Why aint they been outed. Seems if you are in charge you are damned if you do.... damned if you don't. An inquiry is fair enough but it aint down to one man to take the fall.

@mc0558 continued. He owns a multi-million dollar apartment in NYC and rents a luxurious house in New Haven. Cherrie seems to have given up her law practice in the UK. Blair's oldest son works for a right wing Republican Congressman in Washington. So you tell me, where does Tony Blair make his home? And don't call me a fool, FOOL!

@BlairSupporter If the public at large was informed precisely of where he was going to turn up, the protests would be far larger. As for Blair's popularity in 2010, it stood at 25% pro, 60% anti, the rest unsure. I agree with you, that's a remarkable degree of popularity considering what he has done to the country.As for where he lives: he teaches at Yale. He appears on 1 US talk show after another. He is on the US $100thous+ per speech circuit.When is the last time you saw him appear in the UK?

@bilstonjay The trouble is, war isn't declared any more. Only The Queen can declare war, but the politicians bypass her. The just make war without declaring war. The result is one political war after another when the vital interests of the nation are not under threat! This is the Americanization of Britain, which--and God bless the Americans--has in my opinion gone too far on every front our political, economic and cultural lives. Let Britain be Britain!

@xgs724 I think Blair was one of those people who are able to convince themselves that what is in their interest to do is actually the just an moral step to take. Just as I think Brown actually believed his own hype. British children are better off under Labour--how often he said that with such conviction. Yet the figures demonstrated conclusively that they were not better off. Up until I saw the actual figures, I too was impressed. I don't think Brown said to himself, let's lie. He believed!

@mc0558 - he actually pulls in a few hundred protesters and many more supporters, but he does not wish to cause more expense for the security just to combat the few hundred crazies. I'd like to string up the protesters, btw. They shout loudly but they do not speak for the majority in Britain. There is NO way he is the most "instanteously and violently repudiated Prime Minister in our history". That's utter rubbish. He doesn't live in the USA, btw, you fool. Do your howework before you mouth off.

[mc0558]

@BlairSupporter He pulls 'em in all right--protestors who'd like to string him up! Blair lives in the US because his appearance on the street here would cause riots. He is the most instanteously and violently repudiated Prime Minister in our history.

@darkstar1345a Thank you! I disliked her too. I despised her but I didn't hate her. In other words, she got on my wick but I could see that some of the things she did needed to be done for the good of the country. It's a shame that she was the one to do them.

@bilstonjay British intelligence did not fail. They told him Saddam had no wmd's. And US intelligence only "failed" because Bush and Cheney demanded to be given the "intelligence" they wanted to here. The wanted their alibi in place! In Cheney, Bush and Blair, we were in the hands of complete adventurists

[mc0558]

@bilstonjay British intelligent gave him good intelligence, but he didn't listen to it! He listened to the weasly Texan voice on the other end of the hot line who told him to swing his ass into position behind that war or suffer the consequences.

Everyone who knew anything about Iraq knew that Iraqis hadn't the ability to deal with wmd's. Once the American technicians who were building wmd/s for him to use against Iran had left Iraq all his wmd program was finished.
