It's Important for Him to Live His Life, Too

Heh heh heh... The Coalition of the Willing To Vacation During Near-Crises:

Tony Blair was criticised by the Conservatives yesterday for taking a three-week holiday in Barbados while Britain was still recovering from the terrorist attacks and facing financial problems sparked by petrol price rises.

The shadow Commons leader, Chris Grayling, said the amount of time Mr Blair had been away from his desk was "just not good enough".

Mr Grayling said: "We've got a continuing threat from terrorism, the health service is in financial chaos, there's a possible petrol price crisis, and yet the prime minister doesn't even seem to think it important to spend time at his own desk back in Britain."

Ahh the "working Vacation." A dream of the west that most of the world can't enjoy...
