Cherie Blair says she never admits mistakes
Just days after British Prime Minister Tony Blair made headlines admitting errors in Iraq, his wife Cherie said on Saturday she too had made mistakes but did not like to talk about her gaffes. During the nine years her husband has been in power, Cherie Blair has been skewered in the press for everything from her political comments to her choice of friends. In an interview with the BBC she said it would be "arrogant and foolish" to say she did everything right. When pressed about mistakes she said: "I don't own up to them publicly. I'm never really in a situation where it gets to that." The latest unwelcome spotlight shone on her this week when she was criticised for signing a copy of the official report into a government scientist's suicide which was then offered for auction at a fundraiser for the ruling Labour Party.
