Why should Lady Thatcher have any interest in meeting Palin?...One is a giant figure; the other, politically speaking, a carnival pygmy better suited to life on a second-rate reality television show.

It is vulgar and it is vainglorious and therefore entirely typical of Palin's political style.

Unseemly, eh? We'll give you unseemly if you give us 'loathsome', Rush.
