Thatcher to Palin: don't bother dropping by ("Sarah Palin is nuts")

[muriel_volestrangler]

Hah, the mad old bat and her 'allies' at least recognise that Palin is a bad joke:

Allies of former prime minister regard darling of Tea Party movement as a frivolous figure unworthy of an audience
...
It appears that the former prime minister has no intention of meeting the darling of the Tea Party movement. Andy McSmith reported in the Independent 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."

Tim Montgomerie, of the ConservativeHome website, said: "When the idea was first discussed nine months ago, it was thought that David Cameron might agree for them to appear at a function at the same time so that they could be photographed, but since then her star has fallen so far that I don't think even that would be thought necessary. She is an embarrassment for mainstream Conservatives.

Hell, that comment could apply to the entire freaking, twisted, degenerate Republicon Cabal O' Cronies.

2. If only the American media had sense enough to come to the same obvious conclusion.

She's a celebrity and deserves as much serious attention a Snooki.

3. Well, at least Snooki isn't touring the countryside

spewing foolish political crap, and showing ignorance of history.
