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.'
