My Comment: Tony Blair is not the first politician to profit handsomely after leaving office .... the Clintons amassed over $100 million when they left office, and former VP Gore is in the hundreds of millions range.

What this disclosure is all about is the running civil war within the Labor Party between Tony Blair and present Prime Minister Brown. The fact that this information is now public, I expect greater anger and recriminations between the two factions in the coming days.
