Letters From A Tory Daily views on British politics and the Conservative Party from a centre-right thinker who writes letters on his blog to politicians, journalists and many others.

From yesterday’s Telegraph:
“Gordon Fischer, an ally of Mr Obama, had to apologise this week when he wrote in his blog that [Bill Clinton's] negative campaigning had left a “stain on his legacy, much worse, much deeper, than the one on Monica’s blue dress”

And there I was thinking that American politics never sunk as low as ours in terms of name-calling and childish taunts.  How wrong I was.

“Just think what it’s like to be president. They play a song every time you walk in the room, ‘Hail to the Chief’. I was completely lost for three weeks after I left the White House. Nobody ever played a song any more”
- Bill Clinton, campaigning for his wife Hillary on the White House trail.
