Michael Moore has apparently told Reuters that he wants to follow his new anti-President Bush film 'Fahrenheit 9/11' with a movie about Tony Blair, investigating the very interesting question of why on earth Blair is so blindly loyal to Bush.

Now that I'd REALLY like to see! Just when Tony might have thought things couldn't get much worse...

here's hoping that john howard is next...

With any luck, John Howard will be voted out before Mike Moore can get around to him. But the way the UK Labour and Australian Labour parties have been drifting to the Right, soon there'll be no Left left

i just read on michael moore's website that the tony blair thing was actually a joke, worse luck

and on the australian labour party: commentators think that peter garret (midnight oil) joining the party means a shift toward the left..
unsuprisingly, our elections (whenever they deign to call them) are still a choice between tweedle-dum and tweedle-dumber

Oh, rats. You're right. I should have realised it was too good to be true.

Pity. It'd have been the pefect subject for a Moore movie. But who knows: after this weekend's UK local and European election results, Blair may soon be gone without a shove from Mike...

Reminds me of sketch comparing US and UK politics in the sixties in the "Beyond the Fringe" revue.

"Well of course, over there they have the Republican Party, which is the equivalent of our Conservative Party; and the Democratic Party, which is the equivalent of our Conservative Party"

I think that can now be extended to the UK and Oz Labour parties now

With the Australian Democrats rapidly disappearing up their own fundamental orifice, it looks loke the Greens will be the third force in Oz politics soon.
