Sarah Palin should not assume that, after jetting over to London, she’ll be able to swan in through Margaret Thatcher’s front door, pose for snaps round the hearth, add it to her presidential campaign portfolio and hop off back to Alaska.
Lady T is picky about who she is seen with.
‘We would prefer a discreet meeting in the margins, perhaps at a dinner where they chance to meet, so to speak,’ said a friend of Maggie.
"Lady T is picky about who she is seen with." Well that certainly does not bode well for Caribou Barbie now does it?
So here Palin has taken to Facebook and bragged about receiving "an invitation for a visit to London" and that "part of that invitation included the offer of arranging a meeting between myself and one of my political heroines, the “Iron Lady,” Margaret Thatcher", when in fact it sounds like she may only be invited to attend a dinner where they might, you know if everything goes right, "chance to meet, so to speak".
It kind of sounds like asking somebody out on a date and being told, "Hey look I will be going to dinner with my real friends at a certain restaurant, and if you show up I might say hello, just so long as nobody SEES us together."
How desperate and pathetic would you have to be to show up to THAT restaurant?
Need you ask? The Tundra Turd is desparate, needy, and pathetic when it comes to attention. She will do anything.
ReplyDeleteDid you happen to note Sheila Toomey's negative mention of Sadie's blog in The Ear?
ReplyDeleteYet, last week, she referred to chubby, average-looking Bristol as 'looking great'?
Sadie is 10 times better looking than Bristol, IMO. The ADN is whacked.
Palin is putting her own selfish desire above the needs of a woman with Alzheimer's. That about says it all. Frankly, this is her chance to see the world (in grand style) on someone else's dime, so I'm sure she'll milk it for all she can, meeting or no meeting.
ReplyDeletePalin will milk her donors and wealthy benefactors for all they've got. If she can get the grand tour of Europe on their dime, then a woman with Alzheimer's is of no consequence to her. Whether Lady Thatcher meets her or not probably doesn't really matter to Palin, so long as she's traveling first class.
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin will go where she is told to go and say what she is told to say. The question is whether her puppeteer(s) are stupid enough to set up Sarah for a PR fail, because the British press will make certain it's a spectacular fail.
ReplyDeleteWho does Track wish Happy Father's Day to?
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking that if Mother Teresa was still alive she'd be a candidate for Palin to exploit.
ReplyDeleteMs. Thatcher is an aged lady.... I really don't believe that her family appreciates the obvious American obcession with celebrity. Besides, people have to PAY for PLAY with Palin...on Palins terms.
Can somebody explain to me how Sarah taking a picture with someone enhances her political portfolio? I understand how models takes picture to build up their portfolio. I just don't understand how this enhances Sarah's portfolio. To me you enhance your portfolio by being involved in a cause. An 8 1/2 x 11 is not a cause. If a person goes to Wash DC and takes a picture next to the Lincoln Memorial, does that mean they met Lincoln or was involved in freeing slaves and does that builds their portfolio? I just don't get it. Photoshop achieves the same purpose without exploiting M. Thatcher in her ailing days. I remember Palin went to the UN and shaking hands with leaders of other countries, what a fake. That did nothing to building her foreign experience. No different than going to Disneyland and shaking Goffy's hand!
ReplyDeleteGreat pic of Palin! Yes, hopefully that "meeting" with Thatcher will backfire. I perish the thought of Thatcher demeaning herself by being used to fire up the American wing-nuts.
ReplyDeleteSo Paylin shows up in London and has her picture taken with some aging woman preferably wearing a hat. Paylin returns to the US, claiming to have met with the brilliant Mrs. Thatcher and she even has a photo to proove! Mission accomplished .... Is Scarah says so it must be true....
ReplyDeletePalin's people are trying to solicit an invitation to meet Mrs. Thatcher. A big difference between being invited and asking to be invited.
ReplyDeleteDon't bet though that if they try to go to the dinner route, that there won't be someone there just waiting to snap a picture of the two of them together, so that Palin can say she is just the best of friends with Mrs. Thatcher.
It's a sick world we live in these days and Palin and those around her lead the way.
Reading Palinbots comments they believe Thatcher sought Palin out to pass the baton to Palin to be Thatcher's successor. Palin has asserted she was invited. Palin's unwavering fans are hopeful Thatcher will essentially endorse Palin, praise her which will "knock stupid" out of the ballpark. Most of the fans find it irrelevant Thatcher has advanced dementia. One fan wrote "the media will probably say Thatcher has dementia and is not in control of her mental faculties". In Palin world dementia is what they want it to be, not what it is evidently.
ReplyDeletePalin holds no political office and is not a candidate for any office. In Palin world this meeting is proof Thatcher chose Palin to be her successor in her image and likeness.
It is bizarre to seek international endorsement from a person known to have advanced dementia and frail health.
Perhaps it would be of interest to Thatcher's friends and family what Palin wrote on FB?
lol..it does not sound like Thatcher planned a luncheon to formally anoint and pass her baton to Palin as her successor. hahahaha..laughing at the notion
That picture you have of moron Sarah Palin is one of the best pictures of her. This must be the face she makes when she doesn't get her own way.
ReplyDeleteMy mother is from the old country- and doesn't understand English really well - at least, on the deep subjects. However, she gives a great summary of how she thinks Palin is unfit to be a candidate of anything, just from her body language.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that Margaret Thatcher is in any position to be making her own decisions. I thought that her mental state was a big issue. If someone can provide contact information for Thatcher's daughter, who seems to be speaking for her mother, we should write to her, asking her to protect her mother from this exploitation.
ReplyDeleteSince Gryphen has shared some of his family stories with us, I want to wish him Happy Father's Day.
Her fb entry just says she was invited, doesn't say who issued the invitation. There are at least as many crackpots in England as in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteHope the British press take this up in full roar.
>Paylin returns to the US, claiming to have met with the brilliant Mrs. Thatcher and she even has a photo to proove! Mission accomplished
ReplyDeleteMuch cheaper to just Photoshop it.
Happy Father's Day Gryphen!
ReplyDeleteThe chance of Scarah bumping into Margaret Thatcher at a restaurant is probably a long shot - surely Thatcher doesn't frequent Taco Bell.
ReplyDeleteWonder if Rupert Murdoch "invited" Palin to call on Thatcher?
The point as to whether or not having a photo with Thatcher actually improves Palin's portfolio is irrelevant because in Sarah Palin's world, it does. That is all that matters - to her.
ReplyDeleteWell, that and the fact that many of her followers are just as willfully ignorant as she is to know about Thatcher's dementia. The Iron Lady's daughter says that her mother often does not recognize her, so how are would Palin and Thatcher ever have a meaningful chat. Nope, this is typical Sarah - all about appearances.
Just superficial beauty pageant point gathering. Sarah needs to rethink her approach, though.
After all, she even though she was able to pull off the local title, she didn't win the Big State Title because, wink all she might, jiggle all she can, strut all she will, she doesn't have what it takes.
She can see that or accept her limitations because her common sense is overpowered by her desperate need to be Number One, get that spotlight at all costs. She doesn't seem to care that increasing numbers of people are laughing at her as if she is carnival side show. Either that or her Ego is shutting out reality and no one dare tell her the truth.
Oh, I think she will keep trying, just like Ross from Arkansas did, just like McCain did but, really, look at them now. Ross is mostly forgotten.
Even if McCain retains his Senate seat, his influence is almost gone. I bet his wealthy wife might just try to buy the election so she can get him out of the house, out of the state, and out of her day-to-day life. Sarah needs to study him well. His fate could be her own much, much sooner than she figures.
Well, she crashed Hickel's funeral, so barging in on an elderly woman with Alzheimer's is clearly in Palin's repertoire.
ReplyDeleteHappy Father's Day, Gryph! You are a great man.
ReplyDeleteCarrie
--Reading Palinbots comments they believe Thatcher sought Palin out to pass the baton to Palin to be Thatcher's successor.--
ReplyDeleteTony Hayward must have invited Palin for this Thatcher/Palin meeting of the minds. As long as BP does the PR it will be all good for Palin, Thatcher is just an unwitting useful tool at the mercy of her caretakers and a victim of socialize medicine.
TLC for the middle class, and Palin waiting in the wings
Heartland values are indeed what TLC pushes, carving out a profitable niche in a reality TV marketplace otherwise filled with sex-drenched youth soaps (MTV's "Jersey Shore") or aspirational voyeurism (HGTV's entire programming block). And now the network is making maybe its strongest play yet for the non-elite, middle-class audience, with a new show starring the queen of Red State America, Sarah Palin.
Food is becoming a major TLC obsession:
Drenching out MTV's "Jersey Shore" what about Levi and his hockey friend reality? Is TLC planning on co-parenting Bristol, Levi and the cakes from Harper's Bazaar? I am so looking forward to her fessing up about her shifting body images. If not fessing up what spin will she go with?
The Palins did a great job with the RV travel image, proving they are middle class. Did anyone see the photos? How much were they actually in the RV to travel? Was Trig with them? Piper? Willow? How did the kids like Canada? Did they also fly in a jet like the last time they were middle class on a bus tour?
When will the family be in Bristol Bay with the TLC filming crew? Track, too? Are they there now? It is the perfect time for them to talk about their dependency on BP and oil and everything the Palins did as she was a governor with Todd Palin as shadow governor in Alaska Two people who could not be anymore BP!
The teen mom and The Candie's Foundation's Neil Cole Video, what is the bloating of her face 4/7/10? "It can be pause and go get a condom." Bristol Palin.
Was it pause and take your morning after or birth control pill? This is during the extremly difficult time when she was 100% Tripp's parent, will she now speak up about the joys of co-parenting? If Sarah was honest with Oprah, she is very happy with Levi back in the family.
Track, Levi and Todd will celebrate father's day together as Sarah rejoices? Whatever they do for Father's Day it will be top secret because they are so private when that is convenient. If Levi is close to his sister he will have to zip her up.
Back in Jane Austen times, there was a specific word for people who liked to intrude where they didn't belong and thought themselves equal to the gentry:
ReplyDelete"Mushroom"
Wonder if it's still in common use over there. I expect there's still one or two gossip columnists who know exactly what SP is all about.
Chris said: Sadie is 10 times better looking than Bristol,
ReplyDeleteNot only that but she is working, going to school, and caring for her mom. Good kid if you ask me.
Remember, she was also invited to Australia and didn't go because it would be at her own expense. So who is paying for this trip? Maybe her donor fans at sarahpac will pay. I find it hard to believe that Ms Thatcher's family and friends would allow her to be used in a publicity stunt.
ReplyDeleteLet's all join hands and pray with all our might that she travels to London and is totally snubbed by Maggie. Please Vishnu, oh please Vishnu, grant our prayer!
ReplyDeleteHas Lady Thatcher seen 'pamala-anderson'-Palin's
ReplyDeletelatest photo in the white gauzy t-shirt? Is she aware of her ethics riddled term as govenor? How
about sister Sarah's whole rag-tag inappropriate
behavior all over the US on her hokey book tour?
Do Lady Thatcher's people really know just how
low down & tawdry (not to mention pig ignorant)
Palin is? I bet Margaret Thatcher's staff know nothing of the Palins' greedy scarfing up of the goods in that Hollywood gift shop, & that the real
thing Sarah is known for is her incessant lying
like she is doing now in saying she's been 'invited'
to England to meet with Lady Thatcher.
To Chris - Sadie, with her classic good looks,
natural poise & - the only word I can think of-
'sunnyness,' leaves dull, limited Bristol standing
in the shadows.
sharon TN
Is it just me or does anyone else think Mistress Sarah looks especially enchanting in the photo accompanying this story? No? Really? Just me? Rats!!!
ReplyDeleteIf nothing else, The Quitta From Wasilla should get cut some slack simply for her amazing commitment to answering the age-old question "How many ways can one person be truly awful?" Don't stop now, Sarah, a grateful nation is counting on you!!!
Classic Swag-Hag bimboism...It's like her claim of having a foreign policy expertise of Russia because she can see it from her porch..???
ReplyDeleteOn-going lunacy and cyber-wingnuttery...
Palin's star is fading fast, guess that's the best she could muster up, a "maybe invitation" to England and "maybe" she'll meet Mrs. Thatcher, and "maybe" someone will snap a picture that she can "use".
ReplyDeleteAnd speaking of Father's Day, there are 6 kids in the Palin household, does any of them really know who their father is ?
For that matter, how many really know who their mother is ?!?!
What a hoot if the invite comes w/ a no photo agreement just like Palin's no media clause on her speaking engagements. Karma, baby!
ReplyDeleteSarah Dear-
ReplyDeleteDo you know which one is the the
salad fork? Lady Thatcher does, even in her dotage.
What is really pathetic here is that Palin has absolutely no clue as to the political and career accomplishments Ms. Thatcher has made to her country and the world. Nor does she really care.
ReplyDeleteI e-mailed the Daily Mail, and asked them to PLEASE check out Immoral Minority. Asked them to do some background work on Palin, since she is a scam artist who constantly insults President Obama. I hope they do just that. I attended a golf tournament and had my photo photoshopped with Tiger. My golf game has not improbed since then. Hopefully the same thing will happen with $arah.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to envision what clothing ensemble Palin would appropriate to wear to a dinner party full of British nobility and political notables..... hmmm, I am seeing a low cut, barely see through blouse, hot pants and black leather stilletto heeled knee boots. And would she wear pearls with that?
ReplyDeleteO/T: One--those earrings in that picture look like tiny witch's broomsticks. Appropriate.
ReplyDeleteAnd, two--are you hearing anything more from Joe McGuinniss? Doesn't seem like the Palins have been home much since the fence-raising overreax and world-wide media coverage of that. Any news?
Happy Father's Day!!!!
ReplyDeleteo/t This is Tripp's FIRST Happy Father's Day including Todd, Keith, Levi and great grandfathers! What a monumental day for all of Tripp's family, the Palins and the Johnstons. Now that the hatchet is buried they can all start to act like adults. Family values are not just about promoting mothers on Mother's Day. This is very special for Tripp indeed. Will Sarah and Bristol only use him in their Mama Grizzlie promotions or can he share his best of happy times with his family and fans? Can you imagine his face with all the good news and now that Mama Bear is thrilled with reuniting with Levi!! Sweet reunion!!!!

Who's Yer Daddy?! When Todd needs a little advice for that troublesome son-in-law he can always turn to Lornenzo.
The View will have oodles of fascinating parenting topics to discuss. Bristol is at the top of her game with the latest good news as a celebrity co-parent. Will she allow Sadie and Sherry to say a word about their happy Father's Day with Tripp, Levi, Keith and her grandfathers?
We really must suggest more photo ops to Sarah to hone her foreign policy credentials. I suggest that while she is in London, she go over to the Houses of Parliament. She can stand in front of that beautiful building and shout "Drill Baby Drill" at them, and then claim to have addressed Parliament.
ReplyDeleteIf Sarah wants to pose with foreign leaders, I suggest Berlusconi of Italy. He loves being photographed with lovely women, especially if they are not his wife. She might also get a loving pinch from Silvio.
Palin is delusional. Thatcher is hardly relevant. What's next, getting her picture taken with figures at wax museums? Moreover, those who care for Ms. Thatcher meet with her everyday. Does this somehow qualify them to run for office as well?
ReplyDeletePathetic parasite who has become addicted to her own poisoned bloodstream: the hallmark of a completely diseased psyche.
The June 13 Mail Online reported that...."Her [Sarah Palin] representatives approached Margaret Thatcher to ask for a meeting as part of a bid to enhance her claim to be the "heir to Ronald Reagan" and prepared to challenge Mr. Obama."
ReplyDeleteAccording to this article Palin's people hadn't said anything about meeting the Prime Minister Cameron. It says, One individual involved in the talks about the visit said: "Palin's people haven't said anything about meeting Cameron. Their main interest is getting a picture of her with Lady Thatcher. I'm not sure they know who David Cameron is".
Who's telling the truth? Hmmmm.......
Full page ad in Wasilla paper exposing this disgusting display of shameless self-promotion. Instead of exploiting her kids she's now moved on to exploiting senile old people. For her to compare herself to Ms. Thatcher is like Bernie Maddof comparing himself to someone who gives honest financial advise.
ReplyDeleteOf course she'll still go. It's a free trip. She is probably already making up a story about why she wasn't able to meet Lady T.
ReplyDeleteHappy Father's Day Gryphen. One of my favorite lines from a favorite movie is : "Don't you know the meaning of the word propriety?" Well, Sarah Palin does not!
ReplyDeleteThat mouth looks like a bottom feeder in a fish tank. We all know how her mouth got that way.
ReplyDeleteThatcher is known to be a clothes horse, complete with hat & probably gloves. I wonder if Sarah will wear her jeans & white t-shirt over her black bra to the meeting.
ReplyDeleteOr will she wear her black velvet horror of a coat with her Fidel Castro hat, complete with yards of necklaces & crosses?
Wouldn't it be hilarious if she got tossed out for being inappropriately dressed?
Her mouth looks like a sphyncter in that picture, if you get my drift. Hahahahahaha
ReplyDeleteAgree with Anon. 7:58 AM.
ReplyDeleteThere she goes again!
ReplyDeletePalin' makes it seem like she was invited by Maggie Thatcher to visit her in London. Her Facebook said:
"I have received an invitation for a visit to London, and part of that invitation included the offer of arranging a meeting between myself and one of my political heroines, the “Iron Lady,” Margaret Thatcher. I would love to meet her and hope I’ll be able to arrange the trip in the future."
This Clintonesque statement is designed to make one think that Thatcher invited her to London, when it clearly was not.
The Daily Mail reported that Palin's "representatives approached Margaret Thatcher to ask for a meeting."
So if Palin was invited, she was invited by her own representatives- meaning that she invited herself.
And to make matters worse, she is exploiting an aged woman with dementia- who may or may not even realize with whom she is meeting.
Not only another Palin lie, but:
Sick and pathetic.
Where are people's brains?
ReplyDeleteIf Sarah Palin had her photo taken with Paul McCartney or Stevie Wonder, would that enhance her credentials as a great songwriter?
Or if she had her photograph taken with Stephen Hawking, would that enhance her credentials as a great scientific mind?
Or if she had had her picture taken with James Michener, would that have enhanced her cred as a writer?
Or would all that just make her a world class name dropper?
And would having her picture taken over and over with a Down's Syndrome baby given Sarah credibility as a caring mother? Whoops, to her rabid followers, I guess it has. My question is answered. Some people's brains are up their asses.
Palin is just another pathetic celebrity worshiper.
ReplyDeleteAny photo taken of Palin with Thatcher would be meaningless - and pathetic. It would be just like any of those annoying snapshots that a random fan takes with a celebrity that they just happen to bump into in a restaurant.
Then again, a meaningless encounter is what you expect from an empty-headed boob like Palin.
She wants her picture taken with Mrs. Thatcher; why doesn't she want her picture taken with President Obama as well ?
ReplyDeleteIsn't he a bigger head of state then Mrs. Thatcher ?
Oh, sorry, forgot. He's the "wrong" color for palin.
Mudoch must be the one paying for the London trip and somehow has connections to conservatives over there & Thatcher's crowd.
ReplyDeleteThis is really sick--a photo op just to use an elderly lady who doesn't know what going on. And of course, she'll spin it that the Iron Lady has handed her the conservative baton (and since she and Reagan were buddies, by association he did). Will liken it to Ted Kennedy handing the baton of a new generation to Obama. And many low information bots will believe this crap.
Truly scary!
OMG her tweets today! LOL
ReplyDeleteAs long as Sarah has the twins, in all their Belmont glory, with her I'm down for photo ops with the dead and dearly delusional past leaders.
ReplyDelete"Happy Father's Day, Todd! Chuck! Jim! Bob! Thanks for working so hard, loving unconditionally, supporting always. We're baking you a cake :)" Sarah Palin SarahPalinUSA
No homemade blueberry pie?
.....Has Her Cake and Eats It, Too Bristol Palin, daughter of would-be president Sarah, has done it again. After her pretentious PSA that promotes a classist view of teen motherhood, she’s turned up in a rather ironic spread for Harper’s Bazaar. She’s pictured with her son Tripp, performing domestic tasks in evening wear, and giving a tea party (get it?) surrounded by a breathtaking assortment of pastel-colored cakes. I guess that’s how hockey moms roll in Anchorage.
I can only image the Palins baking cake.
I wouldn't be surprised if the term "creep" was coined for Sheila Toomey, she fits it so well.
ReplyDeleteAD IN THE WASILLA PAPER! It will do wonders. Sort of like $carah's exorcism. If I wasn't so cash strapped I'd do it myself.
ReplyDeleteSarahPac is likely funding this scheme. If the clown
ReplyDeletedoes manage to get her mug taken with Lady Thatcher,
down the road, when the former PM passes away, watch
her & Todders rush across the pond to her funeral.
This photo thing is a 'set-up contact' to establish
credibility as having 'met with and conversed' with
Lady Thatcher. Thus, it will be seen as natural -
even expected, that they attend the funeral and
of course, rub shoulders with world leaders. Sarah really is quite transparent you know.
Sharon TN
This could be the funniest saturday night live ever. Palin crashes a dinner party and piper follows her around with her phone camera and every time Palin gets near Mrs Thatcher she sticks her face next to her and piper snaps the picture. Then conservatives4palin will have this whole story about how they met and got along so famously and make up this big conversation between them that is complete bs because Mrs Thatcher doesn't even know who sP is.
ReplyDeleteNow that Bristol and Levi are back together does that mean that Bristol's virgin rejuvination is on hold?
ReplyDeleteWhy can't Palin tell the truth e.g. "I am delighted my request to meet M. Thatcher was agreed to." No, Palin must twist things around playing people like chess pieces that Thatcher sought her out. Geesh!
ReplyDeleteIMO that which was to Gov. Palin's credit she took it, wrapped it in BS then fed the public her BS sandwich which ultimately found out she turned anything positive to crap by her own need to inflate and grandiosely portray herself.
I think it is uncalled for to make a competition between Mercedes and Bristol including their looks. Ideally what matters is that people live up to their potential.
That woman can look so very UGLY externally, which matches her UGLY insides! I so wish she would drop out of sight - she does not represent me or Alaska well!
ReplyDeleteDid anybody notice that the Obama's did not make comment about Glenn (the crazy) and Rush (the whacko) mocking Malia. Can you imagine if that would have been one of Palin's kids. They would have been labeled rapists and pedophiles and it would have been in all the papers and she would have been twittering and facebooking al over the place.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be hilarious if Lady Thatcher allowed the meeting between Palin and herself....
ReplyDelete...BUT DIDN'T ALLOW PICTURES TO BE TAKEN?
Hey, if it's good for the goose, it's even better for the loon! If Palin can deny the "lamestream media" access to most of her speeches, and require pre-screened questions from those she DOES allow, why can't Lady Thatcher give her the same treatment?
tea-and-cake's comment made me think of something else:
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be even funnier if someone in Lady Thatcher's entourage happened to see a copy of the Harper's Bazaar spread that featured Bristol holding her "tea party" in evening clothes, and decided SHE was the one with "class" in the Palin family, and would be the one to meet Lady Thatcher?
Sarah Palin might go along as a fifth wheel and could find time to meet with her devoted English sycophant The Aged P, but would have to sit outside in the limo while Bristol and Tripp went inside to have tea and cucumber sandwiches with the Baroness.
London Bridges said...
ReplyDeleteHere's what should happen. After Sarah gets over there the Obama administration should place her on the "no fly" list for her violations of the Patriot Act - I'm sure there are many. Bye bye, Sarah!!!!

ReplyDeletegiven the 'Palin worship' that exists in Wasilla,
it's unlikely any newsprint there would accept such
an ad. There are people in that area who are so besotted with her they threaten anyone identified as anti-Sarah. The newspaper itself would undoubtedly suffer some sort of 'retribution' were it to publish
such an article/ad.
Sharon TN
If the newspaper ad is an excersize in futility, how about a mass mailing? If there are ~ 7000 residents is Wasilla, there are probably fewer addresses. Wouldn't it be great to see the look on the faces of those as they read their mail! This woman needs to be confronted and not just on the blogosphere.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from The Netherlands...
ReplyDeleteMrs. Palin needs to put some mileage on her passport and get out into the world for some perspective but this is just a craven stunt.
