YORKE: SCREW BLAIR
LONDON, England (AP) -- Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke says he turned down the chance to discuss climate change with Tony Blair because the British prime minister has "no environmental credentials."
I have no doubt of Thom's assessment of Mr. Blair. I also think Thom just isn't cut out for the spokesman role - he's a bit too fragile emotionally to deal with prigs and warmongering capitalists. Best to leave that stuff to Bono, he's self righteous enough to wade through the muck of spin doctors, and Irish enough to stick to it for as long as it takes.

Yeah, that's, uh, what I thought I said. I think the 'warmongering capitalist' bit threw you off. That's understandable. I don't think Thom has the emotional stamina to take it to The Man. The Man comes with a lot of shit to sort through.
