Tony Blair's Tan

A friend of mine appeared on Newsnight last night. Read on...

"The make-up woman for Newsnight told me she has done that Tony Blair six or seven times. She does not like him. He does not condescend to talk to her. All he says is “Don’t take off my tan”. I asked her about the famous time Tony Blair appeared to have a bizarre red/orange face when being interviewed. She told me that on that occasion, he had insisted on having a freelance make-up artist. He had doubtless demanded, as usual, that his tan should be preserved and the artist had gone a bit too far. Schadenfreude’s the word."

And they say he's vain...

Have you no real sensible and useful comments to make?

Why not stick to your more usual line of "kids should be taught to goosestep at nursery school"?

That is boring indeed.

Makeup or no, Blair does look a whole lot better than anyone on the right that's out there. Moreover, he's actually quite articulate on most occasions. Neither makes him a great politician, but both features make him an appealing public figure to watch. No wonder other politicos are jealous.
