Goodbye, Tony Blair features in the latest B3ta newsletter.
Oh, and is it just me, or do people of a rightward-leaning persuasion have trouble appreciating Part II?

Right-wing? am I reading it wrong?I thought the implication was that Blair was the antichrist who will rule over the post-Rapture Earth.

Heh. I'm not sure if 'implication' is the right word.:o)For me, it's an entertained notion that's not entirely about Blair but rather more about an extremist group that he happens to have enabled along the way.Not sure if that's why Part II loses people from the right of the political spectrum, but generally I've been getting an "It's OK up until Part II" message from that neck of the woods.Not a criticism necessarily, just something I've noticed.PS – Nobody from the right has said why they don't like/get/appreciate Part II… just that they don't.

Heh.Here are two typicals to hand, involving posts and comments. There are more out there, but it's late:http://libertysrequiem.blogspot.com/2007/06/bugsy…http://mreugenides.blogspot.com/2007/06/guns.htmlTechnorati etc. referrals to Bloggerheads or the video's YouTube address should dig most of them out.
