Did anyone see Cherie Blair's performance on TV this week? I must admit I filled up myself when I saw her bravely hold back those tears. How dare the press accuse her of trying to pervert the course of justice. Her son's just went away to university for Christ's sake! Don't people forget that she's also just had a kid? She's a role model for all working mums in Britain. Get off her back you gutter press!

Cherie scares the shit out of me...
She obviously not a stupid person... shes a judge for fuck sake, and yet she has managed to properly fuck up so badly, by accident?! Makes no sense.

Of course she's no superwoman. Who hasn't made mistakes before. I bet if you turned the spotlight on those journalists you might just find a few skeletons in their closets. She's a magistrate, a wife, a mother of 4 and an investor in property all at the same time. Juggling that many balls must be difficult. If she forgets things or contradicts herself now and again it's not because she's lying, it's because she was probably up at 3 that morning changing Leo's nappy. Give the poor woman a break!

My eyes also moistened. Having a child flee the nest is a hard enough time for any mother. The first term is the worst.

God only knows what she must being going through. I know my mother was distraught when I left for Uni. Just as well she wasn't dealing in property at the time or she might have been wrongly accused just like poor Cherie.

Mine too. My mother welled up when she saw Cherie's speech the other night. My mother felt a resonance in her life in what Cherie was saying.

Cherie pays thousands each month for the services of Carole Caplin as a lifestyle guru. Apparently, Caplin gives Cherie special treatments to "scrub the toxins" out. One of Caplin's acquaintances says, "This was a big thing for Carole. "She believed that many people were toxic and that this was at the root of evil. She'd always say, 'Toxic people are going to be wiped out'." Caplin also apparently tells both Cherie and Tony what to wear and eat based on superstitious nonsense straight from the Dark Ages.
Caplin's advice is based on her mother, Sylvia, a crank who claims to be clairvoyant and who has babysat at 10 Downing Street for the Blairs. "Sylvia is all part of the package and close to the Blairs," says one of Caplin's associates. "She has recently started 'channelling', which involves communicating with the spirit world on behalf of clients."
Another of Caplin's contacts is Jack Temple. Cherie Blair and her son Euan have visited Temple's healing centre, says one of Caplin's associates. "Jack says he reads your genetic DNA by consulting rocks in his room and swinging a pendulum around your body. We had to go out into his garden and stand in this circle he had mown and drink a glass of water each," says the associate.
"This was apparently to pick up on the positive energy levels which had got into the water from the ground." Temple also "dowses for poisons and blockages" with a crystal pendant. Cherie Blair is said to visit Chloe Asprey, a self-styled "witch" who "is very big on analysing the movements of the moon. Some days it is very bad to do business if the moon is in the wrong place."
A year ago the Times reported on the Blairs' holiday in Mexico. They visited a steam bath enclosed in a brick pyramid, and stripped down to their swimming costumes. Inside a therapist told the Blairs that the pyramid was a "womb" in which they would be reborn. The Blairs, we were told, saw shapes of animals in the steam and experienced "inner feelings and visions". They smea

They smeared each other with melon, papaya and mud before letting out a "purifying" scream...

Personally I couldn't give a monkeys about 'the poor woman', but I do think that someone in her position would and should have handled things better.

How dare you! Cherie's son has just left for university and she's recently had a miscarriage. You heartless monster!
Have you no heart? She's doing a wonderful job under very difficult circumstances and she doesn't need someone like you critisizing her!

I've just had a notion to put on "sister's are doing it for themselves" by Aretha and Annie. Cherie, you go girl!

Cherie should be decapitated or eviscerated... - miscarriage: well a woman of her position had no business trying to have another child at her age. :P
