Booze and Tony Blair

BBC News: Reports on the revelation by Tony Blair that he needed booze to keep afloat during his pressure days as PM while fighting his Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown. One can argue that this revelation is a mistake on the part of Mr Blair, you can see the cartoon writers having a field day, image a cartoon of Blair after a few drinks giving the green light for Iraq, and this blog supported the Iraq War for God sake. After reading the Campbell Diaries and the Memoirs of Lord Mandelson one can see why Mr Blair would need a drink, Mr Brown makes Richard Nixon look good when dealing with people just, also Mr Nixon was known to enjoy the odd drink, even the great War PM Winston Churchill enjoyed his drink, but Churchill had World War Two, Mr Blair had a pain in the backside of Gordon Brown, it can be argued that Mr Churchill had more justification.
