I was just watching a discussion on BBC about Thatcher

[malaise]

and it crossed my mind that the two leaders of the neo-liberal movement in Britain and the US both ended up suffering from dementia.

[Scuba]

1. Same here: Palin, Angle, Bachmann, O'Donnell, etc. Also Reagan.

[malaise]

2. I should have explicitly named Reagan

Thatcher and Reagan - must be something in their water. :evilgrin:

[Kolesar]

3. The assasination attempt fked up Ronald Reagan

But Jim Baker and Don Regan were capable of running the puppet presidency while RR lost his marbles

[ThomWV]

4. and at least one of them suffered from dementia while in office - Reagan

[malaise]

5. I suspect both did

Wink!! :D

6. If Your Brain Works Right, Ma'am, You Do Not Think That Badly....

7. The BBC had a DocuDrama on Pinochet and Thatcher

He stayed at her house in order to prolong extradition
back to Spain for war crimes...see they are the ones doing justice now, not the
Brits or Americans
then he died. when it was finally cleared out for him to go back.... She was one nasty iron lady.

I will try to give a link to it, it was totally anti Thatcher
and really

8. Not "ended up." Got elected that way.
