Hillary continued collecting honors and awards. It was announced that she would join Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, Martin O’Malley, and Chris Matthews as a member of Irish America Magazine’s Hall of Fame.  (At the time, many said “Martin who?”)  Emily’s List announced that it would present Hillary with their We Are EMILY Award.  Both events were scheduled for March.  The U.N. announced her as a keynote speaker for its March Women’s Empowerment event.

Although she was officially a private citizen at the time, visiting dignitaries continued to seek her company.  She met in New York with London Mayor Boris Johnson and with Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni.

London mayor and media magnet,  Boris Johnson,  was in New York City today, and Hillary met with him and with Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni.

The Daily Mail poked some fun at remarks Johnson had made about Hillary in the past.

The mayor had some diplomatic ground to make up at the talks after being reminded of less-than-flattering comments he made about the then senator in a column for The Daily Telegraph in November 2007.

He wrote: ‘She’s got dyed blonde hair and pouty lips, and a steely blue stare, like a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital.’

Mr Johnson said it was ‘a measure of the goodness and the generosity of Hillary Clinton’s spirit’ that she agreed to the meeting.

He added: ‘I’m sure that whatever I’ve said in the past will be taken by the Senator who is a very distinguished politician in the light hearted spirit in which it was intended.’
