Iain,

Thanks for the link.

Unfortunately you've linked to The Times online by mistake.

Bugger.

I delivered my retort to D. Blaney. Basically, I said that the US Republicans are not in the least bit interested in the Tories, and those who (like him) revere them are doing so one-sidedly and pointlessly. Time for a bit of cynical detatchment, methinks.

As evidence, I cite Bush's closeness to Blair, and the GOP's utter lack of interest in the Tories in 2005. Plus, while some people in Washington may well prefer Dave from PR to clunking fist, I doubt whether any of them care half as much as Donal does.
