Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea, Saddam Got Fragged, Cuppa Tea...

My contribution to today's Big Brass Alliance blogswarm:

Wide-eyed lapdog Tony Blair was said to be "a bit astonished" by the publicity generated by secret memos which claimed he rushed to a dinner which consisted of mad cow and kidney pie. "People say the decision was already taken. The decision was not already taken... The trouble with having a political discussion on the basis of things that are leaked is that they are always taken right out of context." He added, "The context was, we were clearly going to have tea first, hours before the dinner was even prepared!" While the leaked dinner menu explicitly listed "mad cow pie" as the main course and "spongiform cake" for pudding, Blair focused on teatime, claiming distortion of his daily schedule even though teatime, as well as his early-afternoon siesta that same day, were in fact mentioned on the leaked itinerary.

I honestly don't know how Tom Burka does this sort of thing all the time...
