David Beckham Dropped From England Squad. How About Dropping Blair, too?

David.Beckham.Tony.Blair.20.jpg

"I told David I'm looking to the future and looking to take the team in a different direction,'' [Steve] McClaren, [the new England coach] who took charge on Aug. 1, told reporters in London today. "He's not part of that.'"

If only Tony Blair had a coach who wanted to take the team in a new direction...

That's not fair. Becks didn't lead Britain into a misguided and illegal war...

Because when it comes to the truth, nobody can Bend It Like Blair.

But, you’ve got to admit that Blair is “loved” by the white trash (those people you liberals are so desperate to help but can’t stand talking to or getting to know better so you might actually have a story to feed them).

Oh, there you are, John. Any luck coming up with an answer to that KFC question? No cheating, now!

Beckham isn't perfect, but he was one of England's best players in the World Cup. Also, Blair was one of England's best lapdogs in Bush's Cup.

Dumping Becks? Seriously?? That's absurd. He's got years of good play left in him, and he was one of the better performers in this world cup. Well, whatever. America welcomes him with open arms. We've got at least two teams willing to pay him big bucks to come, and nobody will insult his kids. Come on over Becks...
