Cometh the Hour, Cometh the Man

Set against the post below, I suggest, slightly whimsically, that the Roman Catholic global marketing strategy might be most ably assisted by the election of Tony Blair to the position of first EU Council President

Being a recent convert to Catholicism one could argue that Blair should become the first Holy Roman Emperor since Francis II lost it all to Napoleon.

Many regard Charlemagne as the father of European unity and Charlemagne was the first Holy Roman Emperor to be inaugurated by Papal blessing. If he were to pull of his power putsch, would it not be fitting that Blair should bend his knee to Benedict, in Rome, the capital city of Tony’s mate Berlusconi.

With Merkel up for it (in a manner of speaking) and Sarkozy diminutively supportive, Blair would slip seductively into the role graphically depicted above
