Could you imagine if a British right-wing politician had insisted on meeting Reagan when he was end-stage?

Days later, still grotesque. Worse are talking heads who don't understand propriety, dignity, and old fashioned good manners.

Thatcher is near the end of the path and struggling with dementia. A meeting for some kind of photo-op or pseudo-blessing is just so wretchedly boorish. It's...objectification... is the best word I can arrive at.

The American right wing noise machine can get over it and STFU.

Thatcher is elderly and dealing with dementia. Why in the hell would her aides or anyone else close to her expose her to a pathetic, transparent photo op for Caribou Barbie or any other political figure? It's classless and wrong.

I am not a fan of Thatcher's historically and ideologically but unlike Palin, I can at least say that Mrs. Thatcher is a smart woman, Mrs. Palin, not so.

I am in complete agreement, HappyWarrior. I am glad there are those who are caring for her that keep her from the exploitation of people like Ms. Palin.
