The Blair Brooks Project - Absolute Power

Just thinking there's a similarity with Blair in the way that she's - not effortlessly - but assuredly risen to the top.  It would seem that on the way up, not knowing right from wrong is a real bonus. It helps you stab people in the back, let go of people who aren't useful to you, say whatever needs saying to please your bosses.  All that good Machievellian stuff.  But then, when you're powerful, having no moral compass *is* a problem. Because now what you say matters.  You aren't just spreading rumours behind a rival's backs, you're causing mobs to attach paediatricians and sending armies into Iraq.
