CK has said Palin has a future in national politics, just not now (sic-i guess CK thinks it might be her turn in 2042)

this was from a HotAir link

Why shouldn’t she? I don’t recall Washington even having the courtesy of telling her the US was going to invade a Commonwealth country.

Gov. Palin to Meet Baroness Thatcher.

It's my understanding the two have been corresponding for awhile now...she's giving Sarah some pointers along the way.

Thatcher had her hands full when she ran and served as well. Marvelous lady and the people loved her...so did the parliment, even when they opposed her. She knew how to wrap them around her finger and they loved it when she did.

I think the old girl is a bit ga-ga actually. I’m not sure what quality of advice she will be able to pass onto Palin. Still, it will be good publicity for Sarah.

Some around here wanna nitpick the Lady.
Fact is she was a conservative enemy of communism—a Churchill in drag—as it were—who,along with other great Cold Warriors like RR and the Polish Pope brought the Evil Empire to it's knees and saved Western Civilization just long enough for Obama’s domestic Marxists to have another go at destroying it.

Stupid thing? The Argentines used force to decided disputed territory. On that basis, if Mexico invaded Texas to take it back, then presumably it would be "stupid" to fight them?

The US was not "condemned" for saving Grenada. The Brits just registered their displeasure at the action. What did you expect if the US invaded a Commonwealth country?

Hong Kong was not "given" to China. The lease ran out on the new territories and the island itself is not tenable. What would you want her to do? Fight China for it? Yeah that's going to work well.

I think that you being a drunken Irishman really IS the issue.

Don’t know if the link will work as it’s a pay site BUT it does show this:

Palin alert!

“The Palins’ publicity tour is coming to Britain

And she wants to meet her political heroine, Baroness Thatcher”

Is Palin a Catholic? Not that it matters, but as a point of interest...

I'm tired of all Palin's pussy footing around. When the heck is she going to serious???

She is waiting until after the statute of limitation for bringing ethics charges against her in Alaska. That date is around July 24 I believe.

Expect her to continue to make the MSM's collective head explode from now untill then, and then... look out.

It is going to be a fun summer.

EXACTLY!!!!!! Yet, she made us alienate our hemisphere by (reluctantly) siding with her. Yet, she dumped all over us about Grenada. I remember that. Inconvenient, I guess. But, I remember.

The answer is "was". Her parents were Catholic, and she was raised Catholic for a while, but as I recall, her parents converted after moving to Alaska, and she followed them along to their new church.

I normally agree with you, but you have stepped in the mud this time.

Thatcher did what she had to do, politically. Nothing she did harmed us in any way. You have over-reacted to an insignificant press release. As Brit leaders go, Thatcher was superb.

“Oh no...I have a mental picture of Winston Churchill in drag now.”

We shall go in to the end...fabulously.

We shall fight them on the land and ground...and in the Castro District.

We shall defend our shoe collection...whatever the cost may be....

Nope...not seeing it ;)
