Sky News: HITLER BEATS BLAIR IN POLL
Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler has beaten Tony Blair in a new poll as one of the greatest leaders of all time.
A firm asked 1,000 business leaders who they rated as as the most impressive leaders of men throughout history.
The German fuehrer came 20th in the list while the Prime Minister could only manage 25th...
I am happy to report, however, that Tony Blair beats Adolph Hitler like a redheaded step-child in a Google Fight, and don't even get me started on the results of an AIM Fight -- ugly, just ugly. Sadly, an Aim Fight of "Blair" v. "Hitler" has different results, but clearly the judges are biased.
The poll results don't really surprise me. Hitler had a better PR man than Tony Blair. Hitler also did not have a news service like the BBC or the Guardian bashing him on a daily basis. If a German reporter wrote a story critical of Hitler, he disappeared. When a BBC or Guardian reporter criticizes Blair, he gets a prominent forum.
