I watched the programme about Cherie Blair this week. Considering she is a QC and used to performing, she didn't seem very comfortable. And her replies to the few delving questions that Kirsty Young (Wark, I don't know - blonde attractive TV presenter) asked her were less than barrister-like.
The film included a number of clips from interviews with a woman who was Tony Blair's personal assistant from 1997 till 2005. She was a first class bitch, who made it perfectly clear, in the most charming and subtle way, what she thought of Cherie. My guess is that she was in love with Tone herself and couldn't bear this intelligent woman having his ear. As well as the rest of him.
Also stayed up on Friday night to see JK Rowling being interviewed by Jonathan Ross. She described Book 7 as a 'bloodbath', then obviously thinking that this might deter some parents from buying it for their children, she corrected herself, 'Well, more than two people die.'

Cannot stand Cherie because she is rumoured to be stingy, as much as anything else. But she has had a bad press at times when she has not deserved it.
Her thrift did come out in the programme. It was put down to her hard childhood.
She hosted at least one charity function a week in number 10 but the charity had to pay for the catering itself!
Well, we all have our political baggage to bear, eh? (We'll trade W for Tone . . . any takers?)
I'm on a Potter count-down, too. I'm re-reading Phoenix so that I'll be up on the movie (out Fri. 7/11). Can't wait for the final book - just a coupla more weeks!
