Palin Planning to Meet Margaret Thatcher

Politico has confirmed that Sarah Palin has been invited to visit London, and that she is trying to work in a chance to visit a political idol of hers, Margaret Thatcher:

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is planning a trip to London and a visit with former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, her staff has confirmed to POLITICO.

In a Facebook post scheduled to go up Monday, Palin writes: “I have received an invitation for a visit to London, and part of that invitation included the offer of arranging a meeting between myself and one of my political heroines, the ‘Iron Lady,’ Margaret Thatcher.”

“I would love to meet her and hope I'll be able to arrange the trip in the future,” Palin writes of the former conservative leader whom the former governor frequently cites in speeches.
