President George W. Bush announced today he plans to honor former British Prime Minister Tony Blair for basically going down in flames with him over the last few years.

He plans to bestow a Presidential Medal of Freedom on Blair, who has been receiving much flack in the UK for supporting Bush’s failed presidency and policies that have also negatively impacted Britain.

Poor Blair was in over his head.

Tony Blair will be presented with one of America’s highest civilian honours by President Bush for his unfaltering support for the United States in the fight against terrorism, the White House announced yesterday.

The award of the Presidential Medal of Freedom is being made on January 13, just a week before Mr Bush leaves office after eight years in which his Administration has largely been defined by terror attacks at home and two unfinished wars abroad.
