Tony Blair In Trouble Over Vacation Arrangements

Tony Blair steps in it once again. He and his family go on vacation to Florida and stay they stay at Robin Gibb's house. The Gibbs say the Blairs are staying for free. Tony Blair (via his office) says, "Oh no... we're paying to stay there, but we won't tell you any more about it."

Idiot.

If you're the Prime Minister of England, you obviously have rich, powerful, and famous friends. If they invite you to stay at their house on vacation, that's perfectly cool. Nobody is going to care if you are invited to stay someplace. (Until you mention money, obviously.)

So chill out Tony: Tell the press that yes... you were invited to hang out (for free) at your friend's place, that you and the family are on vacation, and that everything else is none of their business. Don't be a dick and make the Gibbs look bad by telling the press that you're paying them for the priviledge of staying at their house when you aren't (I won't mention how that makes you look, either) in some lame-ass attempt to make your visit with them seem "official" or something. What the hell is that?

Politicians can be such numbskulls sometimes.
