So, according to Catherine Tate, Tony Blair is
"one of the finest comic actors of his generation"
That certainly explains quite a lot, but doesn't it also mean we have been taking him a bit too seriously for the last 10 years?
He seems to me to be a "man of many faces" - not that he has a personality disorder. He has the ability to adopt a guise AND to believe in it totally , for as long as he needs to; he promptly forgets each absolutely, as he is faced with changing situations....

I for one never took him seriously. However, I am still not sure whether or not that was a wise thing to do. There are dangers in underestimating him; for example, who would have thought that this seemingly nice, mild-mannered man would launch such an assault on our rights and freedoms? On the other hand, one wonders sometimes whether such a man with little or no knowledge of history, and very little understanding of society, would be deserving even of a footnote when the books come to be written.
Some days the 'demon eyes' seem appropriate; other days I see nothing of Blair than his ridiculous caricature in the Simpsons a few years ago.
