It's not as though one needed an oracle to predict the future political prospects of Tony Blair. His Labour Party stands approximately the same chance of retaining a majority in Parliament as the British chapter of NAMBLA.
But, almost as if God felt like underscoring the point, local and EU elections in Britain this past weekend relegated Blair's party to an unprecedented third-place. This is roughly equivalent to the Republican Party pulling up third behind the Reform Party.
Whether or not this trend will carry over to the U.S. (where we seem, for some reason, to be proud of our lying moron of a leader instead of angry) remains to be seen. Suffice it to say, however, that if Bush wins in November it will be nothing short of a referendum on just how stupid the American public is, given that voters in Spain and Britain have already proven they are smart enough to make those accountable pay for the mess they created.
