As you know by now, Anthony Charles Lynton 'Tony' Blair is set to resign as Great Britain's Prime Minister on June 27th. Barring a major surprise, Gordon Brown, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, is expected to replace him as leader of the Labour Party and become the new PM.
In his final visit as PM to the United States, Blair was interviewed tonight by Brian Williams, the Anchor of NBC Nightly News. The interview will be shown on NBC's newscast tomorrow evening.
Leaked by unnamed sources at NBC News, Blair discussed a wide range of topics covering his 10 year-tenure as PM and elaborated on his role as "George W. Bush's Poodle" in this interview.

It is a disgrace to our imperial record, and may soon be too inflamed for any ordinary cure. We are to-day not far from a disaster.
