But I couldn't let the death of the great Margaret Thatcher go unnoticed here. I don't have much time, so I will leave the full-fledged eulogies and the hard-nosed analyses of Thatcherite policies for others. But I wanted to throw up some videos of the "Iron Lady" so that we might all remember the kind of politicians the world used to have:
1) Thatcher's First Speech at the White House: "I hope you don't mind my recalling, Mr. President, that George Washington was a British subject until well after his 40th birthday!"
2) First Televised "Prime Ministers Questions":
3) A Snippet of the Infamous "Iron Lady" Speech:
4) Thatcher's Last Speech in the House of Commons:
5) And Some General "Best Ofs" . . .
Requiescat in pace, Maggie.
