Tony Blair Is Not Very Welcome In Ireland

Tony Blair Is Not Very Welcome In IrelandFormer British Prime Minister Tony Blair is on a whirlwind book tour promoting his debut novel, A Journey. Today he was in Dublin, Ireland and was greeted by flying shoes, flip-flops, eggs, and protesters chanting "blood on his hands."

The protesters were letting Blair know that they didn't like the fact that he was George W. Bush's bitch, or that he lied to everyone about the lead up to the invasion of Iraq, or that he was more or less a total jerk off while in office. Here's an Independent Television News report, where you can see Blair whisked inside a building, faking a grin after dodging shoes and eggs. Poor guy.
