I've been spending what feels like hours trying to find just the right excerpt from Amis's masterful profile of Tony Blair in the Guardian Books page. It's all too good -- just read it! (There's video, too.)
Martin Amis on Tony Blair's farewell tour.
My only regret, of course, is that Amis doesn't knock Blair upside the head. Besides that, it's wonderful, and I wonder if Martin Amis wouldn't mind taking time out of his busy, busy days of being one of the droll bad boys of English letters to give us wonderfully observed pieces like this. Damn satisfying in literary terms. Been thinking about it for days.
