Isn’t Lady Thatcher suffering from Alzheimers?

Great: the febrile meets the senile.

All the people who had “Palin’s not running for president in 2012” in the office pool can pay up by the end of the week.

Holy Christ, Thatcher is still ALIVE? I’m not trying to be funny—I honestly thought she was dead.

Isn’t Lady Thatcher suffering from Alzheimers?

Yes. And in fact Sarah expressed her outrage at the Alzheimers, informing Lady Thatcher that no female political leader with a family should have to deal with annoying, intrusive neighbors, German or otherwise.

And Sully weeps.

...

Isn’t this one of the signs of the apocalypse?

@ Steve M—I’ll admit she’s making a lot of moves a candidate would make (e.g., sucking up to the governor of Iowa, etc.). However, she’s got enough marketing savvy to know holding herself out as a potential nominee is what keeps the gravy trains running on time, and the minute she says she’s not running, the media attention goes away. I’ll believe she’s actually going to run when she announces it.

I’m just trying to figure out how this benefits her. Thatcher certainly is a Reagan-era touchstone, but I’m not sure this really has any resonance among the Teabagger set.

Of course Siskind and her “any (conservative) utetrus will do” cult will wet themselves.

I too thought ol’ Mags was dead.

Oh, great.  Another cognitively-impaired person gets harnessed to Sarah’s Human Shield.

I agree with Betty; this is all about continuing to fleece the rubes.  $arah has been around long enough now to know the real dollars are in pretending to run, not in actually running, or FSM-forbid, actually winning <shudder>.

Alzheimer’s or no, I’d bet Mags could STILL name more newspapers and magazines than the Twit from the Tundra.

I’d bet Mags still READS more newspapers and magazines than the Twit from the Tundra.

Unreal—that publicity whore is going to have a photo-op with a sick, addled old woman? (There’s a McCain joke in there somewhere.) There really is nothing she won’t stoop to, is there?

I confess to being somewhat taken by PM Thatcher when I used to watch her in question time on CSPAN, back in the day. Regardless of the polly-ticks (of which I was mostly unfamiliar since it was UK polly-ticks) she was amazing to watch. Brutal and smart.

That Thatcher would never give the snowbillies the time of day.

At the risk of sounding cynical <ahem>, my guess is that this is some kind of strange and misguided reaction to the “Brits think America hates Britain!” business that was floating around last week.  Palin probably thinks she’s going to be a shining ambassador on the hill and totally smooth over American/British relations, thereby cementing her place in history as the great heroine of mumblemumblesomethingorother… 

Also, too, she’s gotta come up with some material for her new book.

The French got Jerry Lewis.

Germany got Hasselhoff.

We owe Britain this one.

We owe Britain this one.

We already beat them in a war do we really need to add salt to the wound this much later?

(I’d prefer, in the good old Southern tradition, we keep the crazy in the family.)

We already beat them in a war do we really need to add salt to the wound this much later?

Ahem ... TWO wars did we kick those lobsterback asses right back to Ferngully or wherever the fuck they hailed from, blood pudding eating warm beer drinking soccer song singing fumbledicks.

And we’ll do it again, just imagine Palin as the first wave of war-grade stupid we can unleash if we wish. Would you like it if we shipped over the teabaggers by reminding them you fuckers started it all in the first place? Well, wouldja? I think not.

Oooooo, please, please!  We can clear out large swathes of AZ, OK, TX, MS, AL, SC, GA, Bachmann’s district in MN, just to name a few and resettle them with real, real Americans.

(I figured I’d leave out that other skirmish during which we sent the British packing.  Having had the audacity to return the bust of Churchill followed so closely by the bust of Palin, I was trying to be nice.)

She’ll be reflectin’ on FaceBook about how gosh-darn sad it is that our blessed seniors, especially those with “special challenges,” here at home in America will be exterminated by ACORN thugs under Obamacare.

At the risk of sounding cynical <ahem>, my guess is that this is some kind of strange and misguided reaction to the “Brits think America hates Britain!” business that was floating around last week.

Could be you’re right, Ripley; I’ve seen that dumb-ass meme repeated on numerous wingnut blogs. Of course, we don’t hate the Brits at all, just the irresponsible multinational oil giant that’s fucking up our wetlands.

Leave it to wingnut nimrods to try to make this about nationalism—they know that choir book by heart, and in this instance, it has the added advantage of removing the focus from big business baddies.

Only He Had the Audacity to Return the Bust of Winston Churchill.

From the Director Who Brought You DUDE, YOU’RE LIVING NEXT DOOR and DENALI AIN’T JUST A MOUNTAIN IN ALASKA

Thatcher is suffering from Alzheimer’s.  Her daughter talked about it here almost 2 years ago and it sounds like she was in pretty bad shape then.  Have to think there wouldn’t be much substantive conversation in a meeting with Palin! 

I’m sure with sufficient coaching and a earbud feed, Palin could keep up for a short time.

“Every time it finally sank in that she had lost her husband of more than 50 years, she’d look at me sadly and say ‘Oh’, as I struggled to compose myself. ‘Were we all there?’ she’d ask softly.”

I was no fan of PM Thatcher, but that is so sad. Sarah Palin should be ashamed of herself. If the Baroness still had at least some of faculties, she wouldn’t give that twit the time of day.

I’m sure with sufficient coaching and a earbud feed, Palin could keep up for a short time.

You’re more optimistic about Palin’s faculties than I am Brit.

Palin: Do you know who I am?

Thatcher: No, but if you wait a minute I’m sure my daughter will be able to tell you.

The above is just one reason why I didn’t trust myself to run a post on this.

Half Gov. Sharpie’s not interested in chit-chat; she just needs to bring back one paw to get the bounty.
