As Israel shoves thousands of troops into Lebanon’s face to trash as much of the country as it can before a cease-fire, Tony boy Blair swept into Frisco to attend George and Charlotte Shultz’s swanky pad for a cocktail party. He kicked off his five-day West Coast tour rubbing shoulders with America’s richest men. Olive, Tony?

The bash was arranged by George Schultz, who served Presidents Nixon and Reagan, was adviser to the Bush II 2000 campaign and continues to be a GOP strategist. Mrs. Schultz provided the gush and glitz. Among the 90 guests, were “Call Chuck Schwab” stockbroker tycoon, Phil Bronstein (Sharon Stone’s media baron ex), and heavies from Chevron, Yahoo and Wells Fargo Bank, to mention a few.

Supposedly, Tony (how tony) was there at taxpayer expense to promote British trade interests, though the Tories flailed him for using the trip as a job op. After all, Schultz, 85, is still California’s shaker sina qua non. His paid interests include JP Morgan, Schwab and management consultants Accenture. He is the man who vetted Junior for the presidency, Schwarzenegger for the governorship and folded Condi into the fold at Stanford.

More, he is the ex-president and director of Bechtel, the construction behemoth that was been swallowing contracts on Iraq and been accused of being able to pull strings at Downing Street. The San Francisco-based company helped develop Blair’s new nuclear power strategy as well. Despite insider intelligence, Bechtel’s been approved to bid for potentially juicy radioactive waste clean-up projects.
