WHY IS MRS THATCHER STILL ADMIRED BY SO MANY?

POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN IN THE DAILY TELEGRAPH

You don't have to think Thatcher was a wonderful prime minister to have some admiration for her qualities.

The woman is intelligent and has always had the refreshing quality of saying thoughtful things. She speaks her mind, and her mind is no shabby thing.

And she has dignity, no mean quality.

How rare this is, you only have to consider other, recent politicians.

Bush, of course, doesn't even have a mind, and we all know before any tell-all memoirs, he is an almost psychopathic liar and a war criminal.

Blair and mate Cherie are the most ridiculous figures in modern British history.

Is there anyone who ever did not believe Tony was a liar, almost as bad as Bush?

And of course he, too, is a war criminal.

He and his mate are simply squalid. He runs around collecting sinecures to pay for his Mayfair digs and doing lunatic things like starting a "religious foundation."

A war criminal as founder of a religious foundation?

His bizarre mate, she of yawning-in-the-Queen's-presence fame, without so much as ever covering her mouth, now writes memoirs trying to sell her insanity as tough individualism.

Hillary Clinton? She's proved in public now that her wires are fried.

Sarkozy? Enough said.
