Blair: "With the (D)emocrats and against the terrorists"?

[emad]

Speaking about standing firm on Iraq, Tony Blair said on BBC TV:

"Whatever the differences over the Iraq conflict, there is a clear right and wrong on these issues, and that is to be with the democrats and against the terrorists," Mr Blair added.

Couldn't help thinking he meant Democrats with a Capital D.....

1. American ignorance of the small 'd' usage will be fun to watch...

...the Republican noise machine will crank up to 11. :D

2. I heard that on Capital radio..

this morning whilst half-asleep...

It took me a second to realise he wasn't endorsing Kerry publicly.

3. Poodle may live to regret those words.....standing next to the

Phalange conman "Iyad Allawi" and denouncing terror.........

4. "Blair: "With the (D)emocrats and against the terrorists"?"

"Couldn't help thinking he meant Democrats with a Capital D....."

Unlikely, the Prime Minister has moved to distance the Labour Party from the Democrats; 'sources close' to him seem to agree that he would prefer a Bush win.

5. The subtle irony of this howler has not escaped BBC TV viewers

but it was said with such a sanctimonious po-face that it must surely go down in Poodleology as double entendre of the year...

[uhhuh]

7. I See

I guess Tony hates his job. The Labour Party seems to prefer a Kerry win. If he is fighting against Labour, he is likely to get booted.
