So lemme get this straight...
The head PR hack for Tony Blair, PM of Pretty Good Britain, the only full ally the US has left, states categorically that Blair denies recounting it to a friend.
Sure would like to hear from Shirley Williams herself (before 10 Downing Street's people "debrief" her) before I chalk it up to an urban legend.
Some things just have a ring of truth to them....
