Rove and the New Tory Delegation Melt the Ice


Three prominent members of Britain's Conservative Party came to Washington last week on a mission to mend supposedly frosty relations with the White House.

The three, chief foreign affairs spokesman William Hague, chief defense spokesman Liam Fox and chief economic spokesman George Osborne, met with members of President Bush's Cabinet, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke, Republican lawmakers and conservative think tank leaders. But one of their most important stops was a Thursday morning meeting with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove, designed as a symbolic rapprochement.

According to accounts in the British press since 2004, the previous Tory leader, Michael Howard, said it was Rove who had indicated that the Tory leader would not be welcome at the White House because he had attacked Bush's favorite foreign leader, Prime Minister Tony Blair, on Iraq.

And by all accounts, Thursday's meeting between Rove and the new Tory delegation went just fine. "We gossiped about British politics, and we gossiped about American politics," Rove said.
