Is Tony Blair the Village Idiot - or Is He Being Blackmailed by Bush?

If He's Being Blackmailed, Just What Is the Skeleton In His Closet?

Bush's Dad was the head of the CIA - still has CIA ties and pals. So, the dirt that these guys could have on ANYONE would curl your toes. What could they have on Tony Blair potent enough to make him behave like a minion to "Little Hitler"?

OK, I've been wondering about this now for weeks, so I may as well just get it out in the open. Tony Blair's behavior has been, from the outside looking in, all but insane over the past several months. He appears to be following Bush right over a cliff, yet defending Dubya every step of the way! He appears willing to risk his career, his country's security - hell, the world's security! - the European Union's unity, and thousands of lives to support Bush. Yet Blair has never struck me as the village idiot, nor has he struck me as someone who wanted most of the British people, esp. the young, to find him repulsive. This week, even after fragments of the marketplace bomb were found and shown to be clearly from an American smart bomb, Blair was induced, no doubt directly by Bush, to stand before Parliament and lie - on record - about the bomb, still disclaiming it came from the "coalition."

So what gives? Here's my theory. Bush's daddy was the head of the CIA and many of his personal pals are former (and, I assume still current) CIA people. These guys must be privy to one helluva an international grapevine, and thus have the "dirt" on just about everyone who is anyone. Put two and two together: Bush's dad and Bush himself by extension have access to all kinds of CIA dirt.Blair's reckless behavior fits that of a man who is being blackmailed - and blackmailed over something that he is so terrified of having revealed he will do nearly anything, perhaps short of murdering someone himself, to hide. Conclusion: I bet Blair is being blackmailed by Bush.

So, what could it possibly be? Let's face it, after Lady Di and Charles, heterosexual extramarital exploits wouldn't have enough shock value with the press to motivate Blair. Unless of course, he's been captured on film visiting a call girl once a week, dressing in a poodle suit and barking while she spanks him (what an image!).

But in Blair's position, given the attitude of the stodgy Parliamentarians and his idol the Queen, I think the subject of blackmail is more likely to be homosexual liaisons - from his deep past (youthful experimentation) or more recently (he is a closet gay). I say, come clean Tony!! The world would prefer an honest gay man far more than a dishonest Bush toady any day. If London rejects you, you can always come to gay-friendly Baltimore!!!
