BLAIR ON RELIGION

POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN IN THE DAILY TELEGRAPH

It is entirely out of date and inappropriate for religious references to be used by an elected government.

But Blair's recent blubbering on the subject raises another matter.

It stopped my thinking of Blair as liar or hypocrite or inconsistent if these words are taken to describe the tendencies of a normal person.

Blair is simply nuts.

The man who is a war criminal, helping kill more than 600,000 souls is now going to speak to people's consciences.

I think we have to recognize that Britain's political system allowed a mentally unbalanced man to rule for a decade.

I suppose we might understand Blair's latest incoherent blubbering in the nature of the case of the Mafia Don who attends confession and considers himself a good man.
