Blair memoir draws parallel to Chretien-Martin feud

Rarely do political relationships mirror each other the way former British prime ministers Tony Blair and Gordon Brown and former Canadian prime ministers Jean Chretien and Paul Martin did. The closely drawn parallel was something Blair noted too, in his memoir, "A Journey," released this week.

I love that Chretien advised Blair with regard to foot-in-mouth disease. (Linguistically-challenged Chretien suffered from the political version himself, on an international scale.) I'm sure it comes as a bitter disappointment for Liberal supporters that Blair has nothing notably positive to say about financial "wizard" Paul Martin. (I didn't expect him to pay homage to the prevailing propagated myth, but, I thought perhaps he'd at least acknowledge Martin's excellence in creative accountancy and fiscal magic.) Oh, well. It was nice that a former British PM tipped his hat to one of our Liberal commanders, once actually voted "Canada's Most Embarrassing Person." Gives me a prideful tingle.
