On reflection for measure and balance, I guess I should also have mentioned her support of apartheid (describing Nelson Mandela as "a terrorist"), and her support of the Khmer Rouge :/

Where would you place Blair? I'm unsure what to think of his hidden religious side, but have strong views on his Murdoch ties, Bush pandering and subsequent obfuscating of his role in the Iraq debacle.
In retrospect he looks something like a remixed but straight swap-out for John Major. (Gore Vidal had interesting views on Major.)
Thats surprisingly accurate. Blair seems (to me) a more manipulative person, but nice summary.
