"Yo! Blair"
David Aaronovitch ticks people off for still believing Bush said "Yo Blair" not "Yeah Blair". But is it so straightforward? Wikipedia sits on the fence, but Aaro's certainty presumably comes from this John Rentoul post, based on this Simon Hoggart piece.The sound clip Hoggart plays is hard to get to load as its Real Player, but it's the same one as heard here at 18 seconds. It's pretty clearly "Yeah Blair, what are you doing". But there's the problem with this cliip - the transcript was "Yo Blair, HOW are you doing". "How" and "what" are not hard to distinguish, and as clip never goes past the "doing" bit, I don't see any proof that its the same clip.
