It must be so great in the US.  The rest of us live in caves and have
no such thing as free speech.
BTW, I wasn't aware that the 1st Amendment mandated that crap must be FoRKed.

So some guy failed to reach the source, but instead got spin doctor to
deny it.  Wot, is he thick enough to expect official confirmation
that, yes, Blair is going around casting aspersions on Bush???
It's an amusing anecdote, I don't know if it's true or not, but certainly
