President Bush got testy during today's press conference with British Prime Minister Tony Blair when a British journalist questioned the relationship between the two leaders.
Excerpts from the press conference follow:
Bush: You don't understand how effective Blair is.
He happens to be your prime minister, but more importantly, he is a respected man in the international arena.
It's not just the American president who admires him...A lot of people admire him...And so he's effective. There's a lot of blowhards in the political process, a lot of hot-air artists, people who've got something fancy to say. Tony Blair is somebody who actually follows through on his convictions.
