Tonight’s Entertainment: Tony Blair!
From his speech to Congress yesterday:
Mr. Speaker, sir, my thrill on receiving this award was only a little diminished on being told that the first Congressional Gold Medal was awarded to George Washington for what Congress called his wise and spirited conduct in getting rid of the British out of Boston.
On our way down here, Senator Frist was kind enough to show me the fireplace where in 1814 the British had burned the Congress Library. I know this is kind of late, but: Sorry.
Actually, you know, my middle son was studying 18th century history and the American War of Independence. And he said to me the other day, “You know Lord North, Dad, he was the British prime minister who lost us America. So just think; however many mistakes you’ll make, you’ll never make one that bad.
Thank you, you’ve been great – now enjoy tonight’s entertainment: Willie Nelson!
