Tony Blair: Hero Or "America's Poodle"?

Former Prime Minister Tony Blair will be awarded the Presidential Medal Of Freedom by President Bush next week. It's the highest civilian honor that a President can bestow on another person. Blair has already received the highest civilian honor awarded by Congress--the Congressional Gold Medal.

Blair, however, has yet to pick up the Congressional award due to accusations that he's acted as "America's Poodle"--and now columnists are reviving the nickname in time for next week's ceremony.
