Leaked Blair memo: key quotes

The Daily Mirror has published what it says is a leaked memo from Tony Blair's advisors, detailing plans for his exit from office. Downing Street has not commented on the document. Here are key quotes from it:
The prime minister's legacy

"Time is not an unlimited commodity. His genuine legacy is not the delivery, important though that is, but the dominance of new Labour ideas ... the triumph of Blairism.

"As TB enters his final phase he needs to be focusing way beyond the finishing line, not looking at it.

"He needs to go with the crowds wanting more. He should be the star who won't even play that last encore. In moving towards the end he must focus on the future."

<much, much more>

1. W has made Nixon look like a Saint
If justice prevails, W will spend the rest of his time in war trials.

2. And TB made Thatcher look like a saint.
Neither Nixon nor Thatcher ended up in the Hague... Lets hope history does not repeat itself.
