There's little evidence that voters are worried about whether honors were waved hypnotically in front of round-eyed donors. Three-quarters of respondents to a new poll say "these kinds of things have always gone on." But after close to a decade in office--and with the horror of Iraq, for which Blair is personally blamed--many in London's always frenzied media-and-politics village have decided that enough is enough.
