Tony meets Jon ....

My hero met - well - an ex-hero .... Tony Blair on Jon Stewart facing the "smiling inquisition" of the Daily Show ... much more serious than most Stewart encounters ....

I really wanted Blair to really come out and show himself ... to explain ... to redeem hismelf ....but there were few insights (except that he genuinely like Bush ... and that even he was a little surprised about the carnage after the invasion .... but that he still believes he did right)....he was classy if a little humourless, wary but of course very intelligent ... props to him for actually facing the questioning but I was left feeling even more disappointed in my ex-PM than ever ....
