The Corner

Re: Authoritarian

Well, Andrew, I’ve been a longtime reader of the Corner, and I can’t remember a single occasion on which you have bestowed any credit on Tony Blair for anything except for the charge that he is “authoritarian.” My use of the term “crypto-fascist” to characterize your description of him is a form of reductio ad absurdum. I don’t know what term to use to describe your amazing attempt to use a Churchill quip as a means of converting the author of the Iron Curtain speech into a balance-of-power realist.
