Harper Valley

Britain's PM Tony Blair is going with the polls and cutting off all lingerings of his affair with President Bush. Always the opportunist, Blair's now differing posture from his G-string 8 Summit is based on a Guardian/ICM poll. The PM had to break the news to Bush, who's taken it fairly well as his new rose-coloured glasses subserviant, Steve Harper, follows the Prez's every whim.

Blair - I say, George, hope you don't mind but I do have my popularity to consider.
Bush - Ya, I understand...want a snort?
Blair - No thank you.
Bush - Given up on that as well as me? Heck, that's alright Tony, I'm still workin' hard.
Blair - I knew you'd understand, old chap. And it was great while it lasted.
Bush - Ya, we had some good times up on that mountain.
Blair - Parting is such sweet sorrow.
Bush - Huh? Speak english will ya?
Blair - I do believe I'm the expert on that one, George.
Bush - Not that old arguement again.

Meantime, Whitehouse sources have leaked why Bush chooses Diet Coke as the Breakfast of Champions. Seems he just can't get over Clinton's success.
