BuzzFlash interviews Greg Palast:
"What the Heck is Going on with Tony Blair"
"Britons really don't like George Bush at all. But the average Briton thinks Americans are just terrific. They watch ER just like Americans, and they think that Bill Clinton is just a great guy. In fact, Clinton could probably be Prime Minister of Britain tomorrow morning if he ran.
"However, the people of Britain have read, for example, my stories on how Bush stole the election. My stuff is, don't forget, front page of the paper over there, talking about how Bush rigged the energy plan to pay off his buddies. And now, once again, the war on terrorism is stuffing the pockets of his cronies and benefactors.
"Britons see that stuff and they fear Bush - they see him as a pinhead potentate who seized power illegally and is not a democratically elected leader, and never met a war toy he didn't want to play with. They know Bush is a cowboy, military service dodger who is personally afraid to go to war, but doesn't mind sending other kids to war." - Read the whole thing, here.
