Distracted From The Real Point

Tony Blair admits (gasp!) that the war in Iraq was "a disaster." Huge news. Astounding news. Groundbreaking news.

Unfortunatley, while watching the video, all I could think about was LOOK AT THAT PINK GODDAMN TIE!!!

It's the latent queer in me or something. I'll go and do some pushups or use a hammer to fix something, and I'm sure it will go away.

(Note to politicians: If you are going to go soft and squishy on the war, don't do it while wearing a tie the color of a 6-year-old girl's pencil box, okay? It's hard enough selling the idea that Iraq is a boo-boo to the Skoal and Schlitz crowd out there without the dandified neck wear. Stick to fire-engine red for the big announcements from now on, Mkay?)
