I suppose for the next few days (weeks maybe) we will from all those confused feminists who did not, and cannot, understand her Margaret Thatcher.
Here is one particularly devious woman, blonde and Scandinavian, who proves the point that women should not hold serious positions.
Her "gimmick" is to make heads of state "jump" on her show.
Thatcher, indignant, replies: "No, no, no, to coin a phrase."
I wonder, despite her laughter, if this interviewer knew where this phrase came from?
[I]n 1990, [Margaret Thatcher] was deemed by colleagues to have gone too far when she told the House of Commons: "The president of the Commission, Monsieur Delors, said at a press conference the other day that he wanted the European Parliament to be the democratic body of the community, he wanted the Commission to be the executive and he wanted the council of ministers to be the Senate. No. No. No."The interviewer covers her tracks by saying that she "just won a bet" that Thatcher wouldn't jump. But she made this bet not because the "request" was idiotic, but because Thatcher would be too stiff and conservative to "show another side" of herself.
Such is "the politics of a free society, if that's what they ask you to do," as Thatcher replies to this "journalist."
Women sure have come a long way, when dignified and feminine behavior is scorned, and "showing one's true self" (such as jumping off a cliff?) is is a prerequisite to "belonging."
