Someone did.<br /><br />No doubt this story was blown up to heckle Palin. She asked if she could stop by, and the old gal wasn't up to it. sounds reonable to me.<br /><br />I do apologize for being so quick to run the intial story.

As a former aide to Margaret Thatcher myself, I can attest that this kind of thinking is entirely alien to her, and that such remarks would never be made by her office. She has always warmly welcomed like-minded figures in the United States, and has in the past met with numerous US presidential candidates and political dignitaries when they have visited London. But at the age of 85 she is now able to receive very few visitors at all.<br /><br />There was never any snub of Sarah Palin by Lady Thatcher’s office. However, there has been a great deal of mischief-making and unpleasantness from sections of the liberal press in a vain and futile attempt to use Margaret Thatcher’s name to smear a major US politician<br /><br />So now all these people who used a fictitious account of Margaret Thatcher refusing to meet with Palin to belittle Palin now will apologize to Palin, right? <br /><br />And then to Lady Thatcher, right?</i><br /><br /><a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/nilegardiner/100092054/margaret-thatcher-did-not-%E2%80%98snub%E2%80%99-sarah-palin-the-truth-about-the-iron-lady-and-the-former-governor-of-alaska/" rel="nofollow">Margaret Thatcher did not ‘snub’ Sarah Palin: The truth about the Iron Lady and the former Governor of Alaska</a><br /><br />Nile Gardiner<br />Nile Gardiner is a Washington-based foreign affairs analyst and political commentator.
