A DEMOCRATIC PROCESS(VERY UNUSUAL)

Watching the Brits grill PM candidates in a town hall style meeting(or what Bush would call " A meeting with a vetted group who have no inclination to ask me any questions about the truth.") was totally astonishing. On BBC(government owned) TV last weel Tony Blair along with the two other candidates were completely grilled. At one point one of the crowd actually called Blair a liar to his face, another woman said he should resign! What did Blair do? He sat there and responded to the questions, he did not evade or spew out gobbledygook, there were no goons rushing out of the shadows to take the questioners away. Blair sat there and responded to all questions, I dont like his politics but give the guy credit he is a real politician. I sat there watching and wondering how long Bush would last,not long, in fact he probably would have faked an illness and left the stage wondering why people had questions on anything other than how strong,pro-family and pro-jesus he is. The Daily Show had a great take on one hand showing Blair getting grilled and on the other hand showing a woman in a town hall saying to Bush," I think you are a wonderful President!" WOW
