According to Ann Coulter, yes. In her May 9 column, "C'est Si Bon," on the occasion of the recent election of the slightly less statist of the two statist candidates for the French presidency, she writes:
Along with [Australian Prime Minister John] Howard, Bush's staunchest ally in the war on terrorism has been Britain's Labor Party leader Tony Blair. He's about to leave office — only to be replaced by a leader from the even more pro-American Conservative Party.
Hello? People, Blair will be replaced -- as Labour party leader and as Prime Minister -- Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown, a man who is (ahem) not a member of the Conservative Party.
Good thing these professional writers and columnists have editors and fact-checkers. Unless the lowly bloggers among us.
Meanwhile, I'll have whatever Ann Coulter is smoking.
