Blair, the former British Prime Minister, has become an apologist for former President Bill Clinton, at least according to a wire service report that appeared in today's New York Daily News.
In his memoir, A Journey, Blair writes that he believes Clinton has "an inordinate interest in and curiosity about people". And that excuses the former President from cheating on his wife? Oh, no, I don't think so! While Hillary, as Secretary of State, has worked to try to erase the images cultivated during her husband's administration, Bill remains tabloid bait, and I wouldn't be the least bit shocked to see Blair's comments splashed on the front pages of supermarket tabs in both the US & the UK. Blair will in Philadelphia on Sept. 13 to receive a Liberty Medal. Bill Clinton will be presenting the medal, so it'll be interesting to see what happens in light of this report.
To be fair, Blair made his remark in reference to Clinton's overall ability to connect with people, but under no circumstances should it include infidelity.
