Tony Blair goes Roman

Wonder how this is going over in England?

BBC Reports that Tony Blair has joined the Catholic Church.  According to the Faux News report I saw at the gym today, Blair said that “the Iraq war brought him closer to God.”

That’s nice, Tony.  Of course 173 of the soldiers you sent on that pointless errand are now a lot closer to God than you are.  And 3,896 Americans too, along with a half-million or so Iraqis and assorted others. 

And this is the guy who was worried about sounding crazy.

(Maybe Blair could have talked our god-addled leader out of this nonsense if he’d at least listened to what the pope was saying about the war before it started.)

  1. I wonder if Tony knows how big of an asshole he truly is.
