Tony Blair has had a very rough couple of months. His party's thrashing in various local and EU-wide elections has sparked calls for his resignation, and at one point the party faithful had to publicly announce that Blair was not, in fact, planning to resign.

pretty much what everyone expected it to announce. Something really jumped out at me when I read this article. It was the picture CNN had accompanying the story.
It's not the best picture, I'll admit. Still, is it my imagination, or does the Prime Minister look like he's aged about a decade in the past two months? Blair has been on the receiving end of the political equivalent of the Lyndie England treatment for a solid year now. I can't imagine he's going to remain in politics too much longer.
