On Blair and Powell and Becoming Bush's Bitches

From Sidney Blumenthal's column in the UK Guardian:

But, like Powell, Blair convinced himself that going along in public was essential to his efforts to influence Bush behind closed doors. Like Powell, every time Blair made a slight gain, he reinforced his delusion of influence. Both overvalued their leverage.

Doesn't this just smack of the naive women you've known who'll say, "Oh, sure he's an insensitive brute who uses me and then beats me, but I just know I can change him."

Time to run to the domestic violence shelter, you two. Your bruises and cuts can't be covered up with cosmetics anymore.
