Quotation of the Day for July 4, 2016"Boris Johnson, who in the judgment of naturalists is the only leading politician bred directly from Highland cattle, had been expected to declare himself a candidate for the Tory leadership. Boris, after all, was a booming voice in the Leave campaign, and he has long been both a marshal and a mascot of the right. He also enjoys a profile as high as anyone in the land; friend and foe alike refer to him by his first name--a distinction that he shares with Britney, Whitney, Dolly, Rihanna, and Oprah. The brand recognition is secure. And what does he do? He pulls out. A nation gasps--or, at any rate, those parts of the nation that have not tired of the political backstabbing and turned to milder pursuits." - Anthony Lane, on Boris Johnson's decision to not run for British Prime Minister.
