I cannot watch him being interviewed, it just seems a complete waste of the interviewer's and my time. There actually seems little point in giving him air time, surely the media can guess what his answers are going to be before he opens his mouth. He never deviates from his Messianic mantra. He reminds me of the guy, Dr Strange, a comic book character from the fifties. This gentleman's 'Ethreal self' used to leave his body and he existed on a different plane. Us mortals could only see his torpid, physical body, but his 'Ethreal self' was out doing great works. Very much like Blair, totally detached from reality. To him the world he exists in is perfect. The unfortunate thing for normal people, is that we just do not have access to this other world Blair can co-exist in, at will.<BR/><BR/>I suppose it is possible to buy into this wonderful state of mind. I presume, that is the reason so many tycoons were prepared to stump up the cash. For the rest of us it may be better in the longrun to stay rooted firmly to this earth. Not perfect but it can only get better, (hopefully). Blair, runs the risk of leaving his earthly body once to often and disappearing up his own arse when he tries to get back in, never to be heard of again in the real world of people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1169999176874229182007-01-28T15:46:00.000+00:002007-01-28T15:46:00.000+00:00I think most blog's these days are now getting ful...I think most blog's these days are now getting full of spin ,they even use proof reader's ,take a look at the yahoo one's ,it's new way lie to we the ignorant trashAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1169994838375133592007-01-28T14:33:00.000+00:002007-01-28T14:33:00.000+00:00He might not be drunk, maybe just exhausted.
