Presidential favorite Hillary Rodham Clinton on Wednesday met the man who appears to be angling for his own role on the political world stage - London Mayor Boris Johnson. The former Secretary of State and Johnson, who is seen by some as a future leader of the Conservative Party and potential British Prime Minister, shook hands for the cameras at her New York office. There was no mention of gaffe-prone Johnson's 2007 remarks where he referred to Mrs Clinton as a 'sadistic nurse in a mental hospital' in a newspaper column.
