9. Agreed. One can fiercely disagree with someone without seeing them as evil.
Matthews thinks that Thatcher was a nice person, he did not say that she was a good politician or even good leader.

10. "Smile in your face, all the time he wanna take your place. The Backstabbers..."
Another bloviating talking head: "My split-second impression of this person trumps all the evidence."

Thanks Tweety. That's how Reagan got away with it - great MSM PR.

12. I too met her socially many years back. She is indeed gracious and charming.
Edited on Wed Feb-09-11 09:16 PM by ProgressiveProfessor
That says nothing about the policies and agendas she pushed and their world wide impact. I understand that Stalin, IdiAmin, and other dictatorial notables were also great hosts and genuinely interesting people. That did not make them good for humanity either.

14. That's why we elect guys we want to have a beer with for president...

twice.

Chris was pooh-poohing the notion that she was this Iron Lady. Chris wouldn't look like such a self engrandizing twit had he qualified his comment. Otherwise, he should just join the ladies on The View.

I think the other posters here have knocked this one out of the park.

13. Tweety's a FLUNKY!1 Whaddaya exPECT?!1
He was a viper at CARTER's breast (along with Pat CADDELL).

The flunkies only get their prestige/power if their BOSS is a winner. So, when RAYGUN beat the crap of CARTER/O'NEILL, Tweety turned into loving all-things-RAYGUN who was not available due to Alzheimers, so Tweety started courting Nancy (born other name) who b.j.ed Peter LAWFORD & others and who REALLY LOVED Frankie SINATRA.


Is everything CLEAR now (& I ain't tawking Scientology here).
