"At the time of his choosing"
I've only read the first nine lines of Oliver's piece on Tony Blair in the TNR, as unusually it seems to be behind a subscription barrier (I say unusually because his piece on Gordon Brown's foreign policy was not), but I still disagree with something.Imagine it's the 1960s:
Teenage Tony Blair: Y'know, I'm going to a party and I won't be back 'til 2am.
Alive Tony Blair's parents: No you're not, you'll be back by midnight.
Teenage Tony Blair: You're so UNCOOL, y'know, I hate you.
Some hours later...
Teenage Tony Blair at party at 11:59: I'm going home now because I want to.
Teenage Tony Blair's friends at same party at same time: What a statesman. He's going home at the time of his choosing. We wish we could be like him.
Update: Here's the full post - there's nothing to justify the 'at the time of his choosing' statement. [Thanks DW]
