[FONT=Tahoma]I am appalled that Cherie Blair, wife of British prime minister Tony, could accept payment for giving a speech/interview to Americans, portraying herself almost as a `businesswoman who has to work for her money`
Then the following day she will be attending a state lunch as the PM`s wife![/

To be fair she was a successful lawyer on her own right before she was the PM's wife. You don't really expect herr to jack in her career do you? Her dad was an actor, TB is the one with silver spoon in hos gob.

She's married to him.
In the same way Dennis Thatcher used to tag along as the prime ministers husband-nobody complained about him being in business and continuing to do so when his wife became PM. Stop being such a sexist.

To be honest if she is cashing in on being married to Tony I don't blame her, I'm sure other people would do the same if they had the chance, good luck to her.
I dont like her either or him, he's what we call a (smarmy git).
BUT she does a good job standing by him.
