Tony Blair coming to Washington to help boost Bush's polls and help Republicans in the fall elections

No other explanation for why Tony Blair suddenly needs to hop on a plane and come to the White House for an official visit. It's all about trying to make Bush look more presidential, look like he really does have a handle on this crisis, and more generally, to distract America's attention from the disaster that the Republicans have made of our country and every other.

This is why some people are dog people rather than cat people. Dogs simply love you, and will do whatever you want, no matter how much you mistreat them. Sure, it's dumb love and a bit pathetic, but isn't that why we love them?
