Bye, bye Tony...?

anybody with half a brain can easily see that this doesn't bode well for george...
British Prime Minister Tony Blair's long tenure may have been dealt a "fatal blow" yesterday with the resignation of seven members of his Government, according to The Telegraph.

The seven resignations came on the heels of a confidential letter to Mr. Blair, signed by seventeen MPs, which urged the Prime Minister to declare a date for his departure. A May 31 date was reported in the newspaper The Sun, but Blair refused to go public with a date, for fear his power would ebb in his final months as Prime Minister. But as senior MPs begin to lose trust in him, and others express doubt that he will last even until May, most would now agree with longtime Blair supporter Tom Watson, who wrote upon resigning: "I share the view of the overwhelming majority of the party and the country that the only way the party and the Government can renew itself in office is urgently to renew its leadership."

what do poodles do when they're turned out of office...?
