Britain's Blair visiting San Francisco for weekend

British Prime Minister Tony Blair arrives in San Francisco today to kick off a packed five-day California trip with political implications both here and abroad -- and an agenda including trade discussions, an environmental roundtable with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and business leaders, and a major speech on foreign policy.

The surprise trip by Blair, the first ever by a sitting prime minister to California, has been shielded by unusual secrecy and was announced just this week -- setting off a flurry of competition among celebrities for invitations to A-list social events like a reception at the Getty Villa in Malibu next week hosted by Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.

Blair is expected to dine with former Secretary of State George Shultz and his wife, state protocol chief Charlotte Shultz, at their Russian Hill home Saturday. He'll visit Delancey Street and South San Francisco-based Genentech, the biotech giant, before heading to Long Beach on Monday.

There, he'll meet with Schwarzenegger and business leaders for a roundtable on global climate change issues before delivering a foreign policy speech Tuesday.

What a putz!

"Married to her work" Shultz.

Party girl & gold digger. She has married well a couple of times.

I once dated Mel. A nice guy. He deserved a happier life.

"Tex" Smith Mailliard Swig has thought up myriad original ways to
please her new husband-to-be, former Secretary of State George Pratt
Schultz: she has had the Great Seal of the United States of America
carved onto the front of a new chest that sits next to
their king-sized bed.' -- The Examiner, of `Citizen Kane' fame.

OMFG I just got the subject of your first reply. ZING!!!!!

Yep. Mel offered to send me to Art School, among other things. I was newly divorced with a couple of kids and most unhappy, unsure of myself - but knew I needed to take a road nobody else had a map to.:)

Why is he coming here? :argh:

It's a warmonger-free zone.

in the Castro District?

upon his impending departure from office. Dining with Shultz should be a giveaway.

"Ruff, ruff!"

flush the nasty little turd while he's out of the country. :hurts:
