Lady Thatcher does not want to meet Paul Revere's #1 fan. Shocking.

It appears that the former prime minister has no intention of meeting the darling of the Tea Party movement (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/tea-party-movement). Andy McSmith reported in the Independent (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/palin-unlikely-to-get-an-audience-with-thatcher-2293856.html) this morning that Palin is likely to be "thwarted" on the grounds that Thatcher, 86, rarely makes public appearances.
It would appear that the reasons go deeper than Thatcher's frail health. Her allies believe that Palin is a frivolous figure who is unworthy of an audience with the Iron Lady. This is what one ally tells me:
"Lady Thatcher will not be seeing Sarah Palin. That would be belittling for Margaret. Sarah Palin is nuts."
Thatcher will show the level she punches at when she attends the unveiling of a statue of Ronald Reagan outside the US embassy in Grosvenor Square on Independence day on 4 July.
This is what her ally told me:
Margaret is focusing on Ronald Reagan and will attend the unveiling of the statue. That is her level.
Too bad Augusto is unable to attend. :(
:cool: :bowler:
Baroness Thatcher does not associate with the likes of her :cool:
One more thing to like about the Iron Lady.
Anyway, if there is a single overhyped politician out there who is still alive, it's fucking Margaret Thatcher.
I think she may be suffering Senility (Thatcher, not Palin).

Bill Clinton.
Though I really think he has been and continues to be an exemplary ex-president.
Look, I don't care how batty and senile maggie gets, if she thinks you are nuts and you are not a socialist then you are crazy.
Palin is more overhyped than either of them. She's done jack shit, couldn't even handle a full term as Alaska's governor.

Really? I don't recall hearing a thing about this in years. May just be a Polish press thing. Who is the overhyped politician that's still alive and fucking Margaret Thatcher?

Ending Arthur Scargill's power is probably not only more difficult, expensive and more important.
Thatcher is cool. Good for her not seeing that shrill cunt.

Indeed. The destruction of militant labour without bloodshed was a truly great achievement.
