Sarah Palin To Meet With Margaret Thatcher During UK Trip

June 14 (THAINDIAN NEWS) If everything works according to Sarah Palin’s plans, the former Governor of Alaska, and Tea Party Republican may soon sit down for tea with the first female prime minister of Britain, and hero to conservatives.
A spokesman shared with The Daily Mail very few details. “We had an informal approach asking if Lady Thatcher would meet Mrs. Palin if she comes to Britain and we said yes.” There has been no date set aside for the meeting as of yet.
Although some see it as clear why this could be a beneficial meeting for Palin, as far as boosting her publicity, and a great photo opportunity, no official agenda for the chat has been determined. A source stated, “A meeting with Margaret Thatcher would be an enormous publicity coup for Sarah Palin. Thatcher is by far the biggest [British] political name in US politics, much bigger than [former Prime Minister] Blair. Palin’s big hero is Ronald Reagan. In U.S. Republican folklore Thatcher and Reagan brought down the Soviet Union between them. That’s why Maggie is so important.”
