Tony Blair and ‘The Healer’
March 10, 2012
What is Tone up to these days? Isn’t he being “special envoy” to the “six pack” or some other role that makes him sound like Peter Andre’s butler? No, no, Representative to the Quartet on the Middle East, that was it (not that I mean to belittle the Middle East Peace Process in any way…I just […]
