London – Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani bragged about his international celebrity Wednesday on a transatlantic campaign trip in which he schmoozed with conservative idol Margaret Thatcher.
“I’m probably one of the four or five best-known Americans in the world,” Giuliani told a small group of reporters at a posh London hotel as onlookers gathered in the lobby to gawk at actor Dustin Hoffman, who was on a separate visit.
The former New York mayor is the latest GOP presidential candidate to travel to Britain, meeting the country’s new political guard and rubbing elbows with Thatcher, 81, an icon for American conservatives.
But who are the four other best-known Americans? “Bill Clinton … Hillary,” he said, but he was whisked away before he could throw out any other names.
