Blair accused of 'stabbing Hillary Clinton in the back' after supporting Republicans
Those poor Democrats are getting snippy about Tony Blair


Tony Blair was accused of betrayal last night as he waded into the American Presidential campaign to support George Bush's Republican world view.
As the former PM recommended Mr Bush's policies to 400 millionaire bankers in Las Vegas, former ally Bill Clinton was campaigning in Nevada for his wife Hillary, who hopes to be the Democratic candidate for the White House and is an arch Bush critic.
In a move liable to be interpreted as a stab in the back for Hillary's campaign, Mr Blair – who was paid £125,000 for his 35-minute speech – said: "George Bush is an amazingly strong and steady President...which is what America and the world needs."
Last night Labour backbencher Jeremy Corbyn said: "A week ago Mr Blair travelled to France to praise the Right-wing President of France and this week he travels to the USA to support the Republicans.
"Is there no end to the extremes he will go to?"
Mr Blair's office denied that his comments were an attack on Mrs Clinton.

So why isn't Tony out there campaigning for Hillary, like a good socialist? Perhaps because he has worked with the Clintons as well as with Bush, and he knows who can and who cannot be trusted.
