Clinton snubs Thatcher in 'Gutsy Women' book, says she didn’t make 'positive difference'
Fox News ^ | November 13 2019 | Adam Shaw

Posted on 11/13/2019 7:52:04 AM PST by knighthawk

Margaret Thatcher was the daughter of a greengrocer who rose to become Britain’s first female prime minister, won three national elections, oversaw an economic revolution at home, and faced down the U.S.S.R. -- earning her the moniker “The Iron Lady” from the Soviets.

She didn’t, however, meet the mark for Hillary Clinton’s book on gutsy women.

The former secretary of state, who failed in her 2016 bid to become America's first female president, is out with a new book, “The Book of Gutsy Women: Favorite Stories of Courage and Resilience.”

Margaret Thatcher did one thing Hillary will never do - win an election to lead a country.

Hillary is also one thing Margaret wasn’t - a sore loser.

Let us not forget how the Iron Lady rallied her Nation and gambled it all on retaking the Falklands in 1982! She allowed her Commanders to win that war with no constraints or micro management.

Stand by your cheating man,
Savage the girls he rapes,
On days when he was hot and randy!

Thatcher stood tall against communism.

Hillary and her hubby would have sold us out ... and they did while they could.

I’m guessing that Golda Meir isn’t mentioned either.

Thatcher read Chemistry at Oxford.

A STEM course of study.

Not sure where the best went or what itread in its undergrad days, but rest assured it didn’t even approach academic rigor.

To say nothing of that laughable “law” degree.
It appears to be a “How to Avoid the Law” degree.

Margaret Thatcher is one of the absolute most powerful women in the history of Planet Earth.

Right up there with Cleopatra, Empress Theodora and Empress Wu Zetian.

I would argue Thatcher (and sadly Teresa May) is the MOST powerful woman in History because she had access to Nuclear Weapons.

Gasp, mucho bad typing.

That’s “...what the BEAST went as an undergrad or what it majored in during undergrad days...”

The references to “it” are intended and are undeniably true.

Thatcher privatized the Utilities, allowing the citizenry to buy 200 share/citizen, before going public. We made some money that way back in the 80’s. (I am not a citizen, but my husband is, so we were allowed to buy the maximum for one person). She was a godsend to the people who were and now still are, thanks to the policies of the Labour PMs who came after her, shackled to Socialism.

Felonia is truly a festering bucket of dog crap.

Filth. Disgusting, depraved, degenerate filth.

Too bad Dame Thatcher is not alive to reply.
She would have eviscerated Hillary! with a single sentence.

Good point. If David Ben-Gurion was the father of the state of Israel, Golda Meir was its mother.

Golda’s achievements tower over Hillary like a skyscraper over a gnat.

“” “” Thatcher: helped free hundered of millions of people from the slavery of communism””” “

A Soviet joke:

Airmen are having their beers in East Germany. A political officers comes into a bar and sits aside.
They realize they need to stop trash talk and say something politically correct but had too many beers to do it right.
One guy says: They say they have some really good health care it US. There was a guy who decided to climb Empire State Building but fell off and had a scull crack open. No big deal! The doctors replaced his brain with peanut butter and screwed the scull back and the guy did OK and made a nice 39th POTUS (Carter).
Another guy: That’s nothing comparing to UK NHS. They had a guy who decided to climb Big Ben and he fell off and had genitals torn off on the way. They couldn’t fix it but figured out vagina for him and then he made a great female Prime Minister for them (Thatcher).
Third guy: That’s nothing comparing to the Soviet health dare. There was a particularly crappy pilot who had hit a power line upon take-off. Then his chute didn’t open and he fell down and only arsehole remained. They airlifted it to Saratov and doctors fitted it back into flightsuit. Guess what? It made the greatest political officer in East Europe!
