--- Something tells me that joints aren't the only illegal substance
Altman's been ingesting. Crack, perhaps?
Hollywood maverick Robert Altman said he sparked up the after-dinner
spliff in the PM's presence during a party given by Dave Stewart.
Instead of fleeing from the room, the PM calmly continued to enjoy the
meal. But Mr Blair did not partake and certainly did not inhale, Mr
Altman said. Number 10 has refused to comment. "We were sitting there
smoking grass. He was sitting across from me, so I thought he was
pretty cool," Mr Altman said. But now, Mr Altman says, he mistook that
"cool" for openness when it was in fact a "pose". The director of the
acclaimed film Short Cuts said he had since been very disappointed by
the prime minister's relationship with President George Bush.
Oh, so Blair's obviously a poser when it comes to not objecting to
someone firing up a joint because he's with W on the war. Good grief.
The sixties were over thirty-five years ago. Could you stop with the
"everyone who's for the war is obviously a narc" reasoning, already.
Next thing you know, Altman will be chatting about Vietnam. {rolls
