        Unfortunately, not true.

        Did George W. Bush say the problem with the French is they have no word for entrepreneur?

          Maybe it's true or maybe it's not, but a denial from Tony Blair's press secretary certainly doesn't prove that it's not true. What is he going to say? "Oh yeah, Tony Blair was making fun of the intelligence of the leader of Britain's foremost ally to an opposition politician"

          Come on

              Stories that illustrate this widely believed intellectual shortcoming will always waft after George W. Bush because they seemingly confirm what many already hold as true about this public figure, that he's not the brightest fellow that's ever been. It is human nature to revel in yarns that the hearer at some level agrees with, thus tales of this sort will always fall upon appreciative ears.

                  Meh, I thought this thread would be about something important or interesting.

                      I agree there is some comedy in the situation.

                      You should read the editorial cartoons in Britain if you want real ripping comedy.

                      Bell? draws Blair with such a vicious humour.

                        Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
                        -Richard Dawkins

                          Ha. From what I've heard of the polls, Labour, needing 1 in 10 voting to win, isn't much of an exaggeration.

                            Well put it this way, it must be true. Take whatever Alastair Campbell says and take the opposite...he was a born liar...
