Tony Blair, the Charlatan's most loyal head of state, is in trouble and his government is in disarray. He achieved the dubious distinction of being the first sitting prime minister ever to be interviewed in a criminal investigation last December. He was interviewed again by police last Friday to clear up emerging details of the investigation into the "honors for cash" scandal rocking the ruling Labour Party. The police investigation has been proceeding since March, 2006 after Scotland Yard received complaints from the Scottish National Party that wealthy individuals who lent money for Labour's 2005 election campaign were honored.Lord Levy (no pun intended), chief Labour Party fundraiser and envoy to the Middle East, was arrested last Friday for an alleged cover up by Downing Street of violating the 1925 Act of Parliament prohibiting the sale of honors. Blair's appointments aide, Ruth Turner, was arrested on January 19th. John McTernan, Blair's director of public relations, has been interviewed a second time after being advised of his rights. Last night during Question Time, Blair was taunted with the spectre of Watergate and asked to resign for the good of the nation by opposition MPs. The Labour backbench is reportedly in turmoil as it sees it electoral image crash in slow motion.
