Blair, in Beijing, ducks Kelly questions (Chinese security rescues him)
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=1504&ncid=1504&e=20&u=/afp/20030721/ts_afp/china_blair_britain_030721091008

BEIJING (AFP) - Under-fire British Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites), now visiting China, ducked questions on the scandal over dead arms expert David Kelly, refusing to comment on the worst crisis of his political career.

Asked Monday by AFP whether the Kelly issue has been raised during his meeting Monday with Wen, Blair smiled and continued walking, making no comment.

Earlier Monday, journalists were shoved aside by Chinese security guards when they tried to ask Blair questions after he made a speech to British traders and investors.

Despite the furore surrounding him, several businessmen and officials noted he appeared to have perked up from the pale and drawn figure in evidence over the weekend when the Kelly story flared up.

1. Sounds like here.
Prez only does prepared remarks and ducks questions. "Protected" by tons of police & SS agents.Rushed away from reporters and the public.
How nice for Blair to be seen as a pale imitator of our prez.
I guess we took lessons from China.
