the Prime Minister reassured him with the words "Never mind, we're in the country now," before getting on her hands and knees to scrub his shoes and carpet with soap and water.'
Ask yourself, "What would Barry do?"
God bless the Lady Thatcher.
Nice story!
What a contrast. Hillary Clinton used to try to make the Secret Service scrub the unremovable stains from her industrial knickers!
Motherly? I would say DECENT —she treated her subordinates decently.
This article has this amazed tone because a core liberal assumption is that conservatives are not simply misguided or wrong but are seen as consciously choosing EVIL over good —a very simplified view.
I’m not a big W fan, but he treated them this way also. And so did Reagan.
Ever hear the SS talk about CARTER? Or Hillary? She once hit her limo driver in the back of his head with a Bible for NOT running a red light during a drive following church during the Monica Mess.
Wish Maggie was ours. GB was lucky to have her. WOW, What A Lady! Dang, I’m Gonna Claim Her for America. God Bless You, Maggie!
“popular literature has depicted former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher as a formidable Iron Lady, putting politics before her personal life and not suffering fools gladly”

Literature written by a bunch of liberals who no doubt resented her for her convictions, courage and class.
These anecdotes about Lady Thatcher mirror those of Secret Service agents who’ve shared their experiences working for Democrat versus Republican presidents.
They uniformly praise and fondly remember their days with Republicans, while recounting horror stories of their times with Democrats.

Barry would walk out front like he did after the Beer Summit. Attorney General John Ashcroft shoveled snow for his neighbors in DC.
She is a conservative. Conservatives are just good, decent people who take care of themselves and do their best for others. Makers, not takers.
Given the constant load of crap she received for decades from the BBC, the Guardian, etc., she was not thrown off by the incident.
Thank you for posting this. I have always adored her.
Lady Thatcher was truly noble.

He'd lick their boots.

There wouldn't have been a mess as he would have previously eaten the dog.
I was taught as a child and lived by it that you can tell if a person has class by how they treat hired help, waitresses, maids, cashiers, etc.
The SS HATED Johnson, Hillary Clinton and worst of all, Carter -- loved the Bushes, especially Barbara and Laura Bush. Agents said both Mrs. Bushes were warm and personable, always checked on them and made sure they were well fed, sent food and asked about their families.
