Just last week Thomas Friedman at the New York Times wrote an article giving credit for setting in motion the chain of events that brought down the Soviet Union to George Bush (41), to Brent Scowcroft and James Baker, and to European leaders such as Margaret Thatcher and Francois Mitterrand. There was no mention of Ronald Reagan. Was this carelessness? Forgetfulness? Or was it an intentional effort from this New York Times writer to deny Reagan his legacy?

I guess Friedman knows better than Thatcher herself then. Rush was just talking about a dinner to which he was invited, the guest of honor was Margaret Thatcher.

Rush asked her a question, re: the media claiming that Gorbachev was responsible for the fall of the wall. She became very stern, was incensed at the notion that anyone but RR was the impetus for this.

I will be recording Pres. Reagan's funeral service on Friday and will be particularly interested in hearing the Iron Lady's tribute to him that will be played there (her health prevents her from public speaking). That will be something to have for the ages.
