#1 France's Europe minister on Monday warned that former British prime minister Tony Blair did not have the right profile for the future post of European Union president.

IMO, Blair should see this as a compliment.

#2 not suited means he isn't a frog or kraut. You just know that Giscard d'Estaing is salivating at the chance to be the big EUro. Hell, he wrote the ~~rejected~~ great EU constitution, so he's the natural choice, right? right?

#3 Perhaps, a plastic surgeon could add a Gaelic nose to his profile. Would that help?

Agreed. Britain should not be part of the EU in the first place.
