Oh, God, I hope not. People who had wanted the Clinton-Bush foreign policy agenda to continue seamlessly as the Clinton-Bush-Clinton foreign policy agenda could have given her the Democratic nomination, which she failed to secure. The attempt to set up a non-contest between Clinton-Bush-Clinton and Clinton-Bush-McCain was mercifully unsuccessful. And Clinton-Bush-McCain was then defeated by Obama....

Ouch. Bill Clinton moves in with hands and puckered lips to kiss his wife Hillary. But the Secretary of State is having none of it and leaves Bill sucking air as she dodges and does a mwah mwah with President Barack Obama. I guess all that tireless campaigning by Bill on her behalf wasn't enough to atone for past, er, sins. Fox ...

The Queen (2006) was a chess match. And The Special Relationship – Peter Morgan's latest take on Tony Blair's career – looks likely to be a love-in. The...

Conference season is almost here. The memories of the schmaltz and concentration of political freaks that these gatherings attract all came flooding back with the broadcasts from Denver. All smiles: Bill Clinton with Tony Blair at the Labour Conference Iain Martin understandably calls for the sick bag after being reminded of Bill Clinton's appearance at Labour's Manchester conferen...
Full coverage of the US Elections 2008 Much excitement because Bill Clinton has endorsed Obama, supposedly with some sincerity. Countless BBC correspondents reported his pronouncement on the race for the White House with much solemnity. But even if Bill was being sincere, the question is: how would we ever know? Bill Clinton addresses the Democratic Convention The old Clinton hokum gets ...
