I personally hold Blair more responsible for this war than I do George Bush. The reason is, Blair knows better, Blair is not an idiot. What is he doing hanging around this guy?
Meaning of the quote
Michael Moore believes that the former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, is more responsible for the war than former U.S. President George Bush. This is because Blair is a smart person, not an unintelligent person, so he should have known better than to support the war. Moore is questioning why Blair would choose to work with someone like Bush, who may not have been as knowledgeable about the situation.
