You may be saying to yourself "Where did Matt get such a sweet picture of British PM Tony "MC Scrachez" Blair doing his sweet air-turntable move?" My answer: a Canadian Press photo from this CBC article about Blair's departure. That's right Tony "Didn't Get a Cool Nickname like the Iron Lady" Blair is departing the premiership (here he is seen...wafting something). Citing his unprecedented three terms (totaling near to a decade in power) as enough. He will be departing June 27. I'm setting my watch by it.
Blair, as a good New Labour-ite, learned from Chairman Stalin's mistakes. He decided not to pursue the traditional life term sought by others. Nor did he grow the 'stache, that would've been weird. Try blinking and not seeing Tony Blair with a moustache. Couldn't do it. Won't be able to, for the rest of your life.
Apparently Blair is leaving New Labour in much the same shape as Jean Chrétien left the Liberal Party. I can't wait for the Scottish Stéphane Dion to burst on to the scene in a cloud of 'no one giving a crap.' (A no prize if anyone can give Stéphane Dion a really good Scottish name, or photoshop him as Scottish as possible)
Congrats Chairman Blair, for making New Labour just like New Coke. Red, but without any of the original reasons anyone liked it in the first place.
