Impeach Blair!
General Sir Michael Rose has called for Tony Blair to be brought to trial for taking Britain to war on false pretenses. I never really understood what 'Impeach means', I just remember the scene from Annie Hall where Annie is going through Alvy's stuff and finds some badges "Impeach Eisenhower, Impeach Nixon, Impeach Lyndon Johnson, Impeach Ronald Reagan".
"To go to war on what turns out to be false grounds is something that no one should be allowed to walk away from," said General Rose on Radio 4's Today programme. It has been almost 200 years since the last time someone holding office was impeached in this country. If Sir Michael gets his wish, Tony will definitely go down in history.

Here's where I do the thin ice skating trick again and repeat my assertion that I think Blair was right to bash Saddam because Saddam was a bastard but wrong to lie about it to sell it to the public.

That's not thin ice, we're all happy to say he lied. In fact, the only people who aren't happy to say so are members of the cabinet. I'm not happy for you to use the word cunt though. Stop it.

That's typical of the
wonderfully highbrow
and intellectual
type of comment
found only on this website.
And,
consequently;
everyone should
be assured that the
lyrical standards of our satire
and parody are still
impossibly high.
Right?
