From the BBC:

Appearing at a joint press conference at the White House, Mr Bush was asked if he was responsible for the end of Mr Blair's premiership.

He said: "I could be", before saying he would work with his successor Gordon Brown, adding he was a "good fella".

Asked whether he was "partly to blame" for Mr Blair's departure, Mr Bush joked: "I haven't polled the Labour conference, but, could be."

He added: "The question is, am I to blame for his leaving? I don't know".

And he rounded on British journalists asking about Mr Blair's retirement, accusing them of trying to "tap dance on the prime minister's grave".

1. Didn't he actually use the word "dogged" today?

I coulda sworn I heard it.

2. I read a thread to that effect on DU earlier..

It was in quotation marks so I assume it was a quote. Bush apparently meant a meaning other than poodle. Poor choice of words.
