Cherie Blair says she never admits mistakes
2006-05-28
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.

#15  Nope, been married 35 years now.

And in all that time, your better half never intimated that the marriage might've been a mistake---a rare women indeed.

#11  I'm single, and here's what I know about women. The young lady next door is fat because she eats to replace the fact that no man will look at her. No man will look at her because she's fat. She gains about 35 lbs every year, and still no guys are calling. She is adjusting her life to never going out, and never being seen.
It makes me feel a tad frustrated. I know the problem, the solution, and how to implement it, but I'm not suicidal. What's really sad is that she was cute once.

#10  I'd answer because there's a market for the movies, but that's just me.

"Wimmen in cages". Shades of Sybil Danning.

#7  This is newsworthy?
NO female ever admits a mistake, after all they were just misunderstandings by the men who she talked to, not her fault, no no, not ever.

I had a conversation once at dinner with a Judge, he stated "No woman should ever be hit" I asked him "Why then do we have prisons for women?"

No answer.

#6  You people are slow, I've come to an understanding that my wife is always right. You just gotta believe.

#5  My wife has a policy of never being wrong and never admiting a mistake. Makes for some interesting logic at times...

#4  CA, I'd be more sympathetic if she hasn't been so very vocal and scathing about what she sees as Bush and America's mistakes.

#3  this is a total OT but doesn't she look like she could be Sharon Osbourne's sister?

#2  don't worry Cherie, my wife never admits to them either........

#1  Don't blame her much. Any mistake she admits to would be blown out of proportion anyway, used for media folly.
