Should Thatcher meet Palin?

[Gromit]

Sarah Palin would like to meet Margaret Thatcher. Thatcher's aides are less keen, one reportedly calling Palin "nuts".

Something called the Tea Party are enraged.

Has the Iron Lady gone soft?

The Tea Party are seriously Pots.......

Thatcher won't remember and Palin might learn there is a city outside the USA called London. So what harm is there.

<<Should Thatcher meet Palin?>>

Is Maggie a big Python fan or does she prefer his travel films?

[dotty.]

Why does thatcher still have aides, she's retired isnlt she? Do they mean her meals on wheels lady and her district nurse?

[Zeuhl]

Maggie Thatcher has aides?

Blimey! And I thought Rock Hudson was a shock.

Well a one to one with MrsT is a must for Labour PM's so why not Sarah Palin?

[Gromit]

For some reason R1, the people advising Maggie do not want it to happen.

One has slipped into her dotage and the other is a crazy right-winger. They'd be well matched.

She is soooooo well travelled and versed in International Politics.

I love this Jay Leno quote

"Hillary Clinton canceled an appearance at the UN next week, after learning that Sarah Palin was also invited.

And after Hillary canceled, the group canceled Sarah Palin, saying they didn't want any politicians. Which is a shame, because this would have been Sarah Palin's first trip to the United Nations. Although to her credit, she has been to the International House of Pancakes."

And another Sarah Palin one

"I look forward to negotiating with the Shi'ites, as I haven't had a good one all week."

or "I have never heard of or seen a Kyoto Accord, only a Honda."

"One has slipped into her dotage and the other is a crazy right-winger. They'd be well matched."

Sorry; which is which ?

[Davethedog]

Isn't Thatcher suffering from some sort of dementia now? The only reason for Palin to meet her would be to score some PR at Thatchers expense.

[sandyRoe]

Sorry, I might have phrased that better. One is a crazy right-winger who has slipped into her dotage. The other is just a crazy right-winger

[ladybirder]

Thatcher has nothing to gain by such a meeting.

[Manwithnoname]

What do you mean dementia now Dave.

[emmie]

Sarah Palin is mad, have you seen her on TV, raving like a TV evangelist, and as to meeting Mrs T, that's not going to happen.

[DTCwordfan]

Give Margaret a gun and maybe she would shoot the Palin moose.....do everybody a favour.

[modeller]

It would be an unequal contest Maggie plus dementia is still in the super league compared with Sarah Palin who hasn't qualified for the reception class team yet.

I know that the name of Margaret Thatcher still arouses strong passions, both pro and anti, but I find it slightly distasteful when people mock her senility.
