No, I think that inclusion of the Times-sourced reference does not violate [[WP:BLP]], but I consider that the entire thing violates [[WP:NPOV#Undue weight]].
It's interesting that you should choose this moment to announce your conversion to this view, which you had previously mentioned as merely a fallback position. For what it's worth, the first time an edit war broke out over the Tim Ireland issue, it did dominate the article: see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anne_Milton&oldid=60181758 for one example of an old revision, most of which is taken over either by reporting the blog or its contents. This did cause problems with undue weight, until on June 30th one very helpful editor came in and researched a much longer article. Modesty forbids me from saying who exactly this much maligned editor was.
