Yo! Blair!

[Dundeegeorge]

Ho ho ho

Yes - we live in laalaa land - i.e. a land where the press is controlled by vested interests (political and financial) and 'off the cuff' conversations by 'people in power' are rarely heard.

I expect you get to hear the NZ power brokers blabbing all the time - as if anyone cared.

NZ power brokers, good one, BM.

Baaa, baa
Meh meh
Baaa

[NickIT]

LOL!!!!

Ok...puppet

[Sysman]

Heard on a radio phone-in programme

I'm a poodle owner and I think calling Blair "Bush's poodle" is insulting to poodles.

[NickIT]

sorry...

I don't play that game.

[Dalek Supreme]

There is more but I am sure you can figure the rest out.

This is Postman Prat, so I seriously doubt it.

[NickIT]

And why is this news?

Some of you guys must live in laalaa land if you have never heard people in power talk like this!

Mailman

Why is this not news?

Bush rejecting Blairs attempt to position himself as the 'saviour of the middle-east' (as befitting his Rev status) and eventual rise to UN Gen Sec....thats a bit of news.

Of course the real news is the way the two communicated to each other.

This is proof that Smiler is a *rselicker. And the proof that Buch likes it that way.

There is more but I am sure you can figure the rest out.

Actually Aunty Helen calls me all the time for economic advice!

I think some of the [indistinct] words are in rather convenient places!

[NickIT]

Well here is the proof (if any was needed) that the Rev Smiler is a failed *rselicker...to a President that has as much class as a 1980's Times Square crack addicted hooker.

Bush: And thanks for the sweaters - I know you picked em out yourself...

Blair: Oh yes absolutely - in fact I knitted it!!!

(laughter)

Bush: What about Kofi Annan - he seems alright. I don't like his ceasefire plan. His attitude is basically ceasefire and everything sorts out.... But I think...

Blair: Yeah the only thing I think is really difficult is that we can't stop this without getting international presence agreed. I think what you guys have talked about which is the criticism of the [inaudible word). I am perfectly happy to try and see what the lie of the land is, but you need that done quickly because otherwise it will spiral.

Bush: Yeah I think Condi's [US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice) gonna go soon.

Blair: Well that's all that matters but if you... You see at least it gets it going.

Bush: I agree it's a process...I told her your offer too.

Blair: Well it's only if she needs the ground prepared as it were. If she goes out she HAS to succeed whereas I can just go and...

Bush: You see the irony is what they need to is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this tulip and it's all over...

Blair: Dunno... Syria....

Bush: Why?

Blair: Because I think this is all part of the same thing...

Bush: (with mouth full of bread) Yeah

Blair: Look - what does he think? He thinks if Lebanon turns out fine. If you get a solution in Israel and Palestine. Iraq goes in the right way

Bush: Yeah - he's [indistinct]

Blair: Yeah.... He's had it. That's what all this is about - it's the same with Iran

Bush: I felt like telling Kofi to call, to get on the phone to Assad and make something happen.

Blair: Yeah

BUSH: [indistinct] blaming Israel and [indistinct] blaming the Lebanese government....
