Gee, I guess ending the cold war without firing a shot and freeing all of Europe from totalitarianism really pissed off Meryl Strep? You think she liked Hitler or something? Shoosh.

How? By of all things, playing Thatcher in an upcoming film. According to The Daily Telegraph of London, the children of the former prime minister are “…appalled at what they have learnt about the film…they think it sounds like some Left-wing fantasy.”

Have they seen W? What do they expect from these nutjobs?

Typical leftwing cheap shot.

There is not a single thing that recommends these people - I've scraped more admireable material off the bottom of my shoe.

Mrs. Thatcher is a woman of honor, a patriot and a leader. No wonder the silly, vapid twits in Hollywood would dishonor her, they no nothing of such things.

I've got another film role for Meryl Streep.

LOOKS like a perfect match.

Suit claims widow of Wharton firefighter was born a man (Houston Chronicle (NYTimes of the South) ^ | July 18, 2010, 10:24PM | PAIGE HEWITT)

"The family of a Wharton firefighter who died battling a massive egg farm blaze is fighting to keep his widow from receiving death benefits, arguing that the 37-year-old had found out his bride of two years was born a man."

Political films like this nearly always fail anyway, it just a question of how much money the political operators behind it are willing to lose.

In the next month, her children should go on every news show imaginable in the next month and tell the world what a joke the story is. It will poison the film before it even gets made.

I’ve always found Streep films to be excrutiatingly boring anyway. Now I see why they talked her up as a supposedly good actress — she’s far left of course. Politically reliable = “great” acress.

The Margret Thatcher will bomb commercially yet probably still be nominated for several Oscars including Best Actress for Streep.

The Academy Awards have become an intellectual masturbation session for the Hollywood left anyway.

Worldwide political correctness continues to, successfully, prevent true, political balance from actually happening, worldwide! A leftist slanted MSM, worldwide, a leftist slanted entertainment world, political indoctrination in schools, worldwide, the “dumbing down” of the general public, worldwide, the creation of “man made global warming/cooling”, worldwide, judicial activism, worldwide,...Where are all of the political groups/think-tanks that will, finally, put an end to all of this pro-leftist favoritism, worldwide, and pro-leftist abuses of power, worldwide?

Meryl Streep Likely To Portray Margaret Thatcher As Depressed, Dementia-Ridden

A new movie chronicles Thatcher’s life, mostly from “the recent past,” and highlights the “power and the price that is paid for power.” Right now, Meryl Streep is likely to star as Thatcher.

Cameron McCracken, the managing director of the film-maker Pathe, told the Telegraph that Thatcher’s health won’t be glossed over, but that it will be “treated with appropriate sensitivity.” The film will be fictional, but “fair and accurate.”

You can create whatever reality you want with that kind of statement.

Conservatives have the most disposable income-by far. Why there are not a string of conservative universities (I can see a lot of parents refusing to spend their money on anything but a conservative university) or tv/movie studios is beyond me.

I decided not to watch when I heard that Meryl Streep would be playing Prime Minister Thatcher. I expected her to ruin the portrayal, whether or not the director wanted that outcome.
