Blair's "Journey" – To The Crime And Fantasy Shelves

Poor Tony Blair. First, he had to cancel a big book signing in London after he got pelted with eggs and shoes in Dublin by Iraq War protesters. Now his shiny new autobiography is turning up where his critics think it belongs - in True Crime and Dark Fantasy sections of bookstores. Credit a now-10,000-member Facebook group headed by Euan Booth, who sees the campaign as a non-violent action against "our generation's greatest war criminal." Here.

It should be in the pet section
or the book burning section...............
hehehe...don't tell me it's being placed in the Religion section too :-)
It should be in the remaindered stack, along with the trashy novels that nobody wants, for no one should want to buy this piece of trash.
It should be in the Non-fiction Serial Murderers Section, along with anything written by Bush I, Bill Clinton, Bush II, Cheney, Powell, Rice, and Obama.
aaaaah, poor deluded tony bliar.........
Is Tony's middle name Hubris ?
Looks like we can add plagiarism to his list of crimes:

Blair once remarked... " I feel the hand of history on my shoulder "
Should now read .." I feel the boot of history up my arse "
You cant run forever Blair. Sooner or later a Hand of arrest for war crimes will lay upon your shoulder as with Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Campbell, Brown etc.
I am disgusted that this pig's book could be so popular.
The book been bought wholesale in hundreds of thousands by the same financial families that made him politically viable ,to make the book appear on the "best -sellers' list
"Our Prime Minister is, figuratively speaking, more deeply steeped in blood than any Scottish politician since Macbeth."

Blair's epitaph can be:
I am in Blood
Stepp'd in so far that, should I wade no more,
Returning were as tedious as go o'er
Unlike the evil and simple-minded George Wanker Bush, Blair has to work harder at maintaining for himself the viability of his fantasy status as statesman and hero. There is no "in the back of his mind" for Bush, only the ticking, vacuous present as he inhabits his ignominious self, endlessly replaying the landing on the aircraft carrier in between watching ESPN and reading highlighted portions of the Bible given to him by some dim confederate evangelical minister. Blair, however, might have some small germ of regret or anger that he was rolled by the Gringos. Perhaps, in the dead of night, he occasionally experiences a clear flash of insight that he is a mass murderer who will be singled out for special treatment in hell.
Tony Blair's book belongs in a bookstore's Health section: under TB (as in the disease).
Bring America Back !!!!
**let us hope tony blair makes an american tour
with his book==we have plenty of eggs saved up--complete with salmonella
**king george the w is working on a very expensive
library in dallas,tx which has a cozy sitting room
where he and blair may hold hands once again,
war sweethearts reunited.
hey tony blair!
you say you meant well.
so why do you fear
you'll end up in hell?
a fine catholic man
you claim to be.
but your name is damned
for eternity.
'FORTY FIVE MINUTES...Bliar'. And on that 'british intelligence' he made up.... Bush was able to take his country to war.. America being in 'IMMINENT DANGER' (45 minutes is pretty 'immanent'!), according to Bliar... who was just thrilled to bits to be able to be, himself, a 'war prime minister'....And be invited to The Ranch. !
(Someone posted, I think in C.D that when Blair offered to shake a guy's hand, the guy refused saying : Your hand has blood all over it. SURELY that must have got through to Blair?)
He wanted to go down in history.. he will. Right down.

I love it !! I signed the petition to keep him out of the bookstore and it worked ! I just can't wait until Americans wake up and see that George Bush is just as evil, if not more, and that he should be on trial for crimes against humanity, and that all the suffering that all the mothers, and wives of so many on everyside of the wars, is because of him, and Blair and their want of war. The day the world makes those criminals pay will be just as great as after ww11 when they tried and hung the Nazi's. Bush Blair,Cheaney, they are all madmen,and will burn in hell for an eternity !
