Pot-Friendly PM Just Says Nothing

Reports in the British media this week revealed that British Prime Minister Tony Blair appeared totally unconcerned when a guest at a lawless London dinner party he was attending, shamelessly sparked up a spliff.

"We were sitting there smoking grass (marijuana- drugs Ed)," 79 year old film director Robert Altman told the Guardian, recalling dining with the PM at the house of Eurythmics producer Dave Stewart, in 2000.

"He (Tony Blair) was sitting across from me, so I thought he was pretty cool."

The PM's acquiescence of the pot-puffing party crime proved too much for Mirror polemicist Tony Parsons, who suggested Britain's PM had probably grinned and said 'whatever'.

"The other possibility is that Blair is so stupid that he looked at the old geezer with a soggy roll up stuffed in his wizened puss (mouth- slang ed) and thought he was on nothing stronger than Old Holborn (rolling tobacco- drugs ed)," he sneered.
