The UK's Daily Mail says that Gov. Palin is planning a trip to Great Britain that would include a visit with Margaret Thatcher. The paper quotes a spokesman for Lady Thatcher who says the former PM has agreed to meet the 2008 vice presidential candidate if she comes to the UK.
The rest of the Daily Mail story is mostly elitist snark, mindless gossip and leftist stupidity. For example, the paper says;
"Any trip by Mrs Palin to Britain could cause potential problems for David Cameron.Embarrassingly? If a Palin visit to Merrie Olde England would pose such a problem for Cameron, then it seems to us that the governor would save the PM "embarrassment" by not contacting him. After all, why should a meeting between two women, neither of which holds public office at the moment, involve or even concern 10 Downing Street?
Embarrassingly, Mrs Palin’s team have not contacted No 10 so far."
We see such a trip, if it is actually in the works, as win-win-win for Gov. Palin. Since liberals apparently put a high value on the number of stamps a politician's passport has collected, a visit to Great Britain would deprive them of one of the stones they love to cast at the governor. Also, Lady Thatcher has been an inspiration to the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate since Sarahcuda was a young girl, and a meeting between the two would be of great significance to her. Finally, with a creepy stalker renting next door to the Palin family digs in Alaska for the summer, we can't think of a better time for a European vacation.
In fact, why not jet to Israel, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and other destinations while they are at it? There's even time to visit some other countries which were once solid U.S. allies but have been snubbed by Obama. It's a long summer and a big world. We're sure Joe McGinness would appreciate the peace and quiet having the Palin clan gone for the summer would afford him so he can concentrate on writing that literary masterpiece he's working on.
