Well, her brain is in her shin after all.
Apart from the fact that Hugo Chavez is the only foreign leader most Americans can even name.
I’m not going to attempt to butcher the spellings of their name, but I think most 'Merkins know who’s running Iraq, Afghanistan, and Iran, while a few more might know about Mugabe.
Sir, I’m afraid you over-estimate the intelligence of Americans by several orders of magnitude.
He’s hung around here too long.
I am actually quoting him from earlier in this thread. I missed the edit window so I couldn’t give him proper credit.
I’d wager vast sums of money that if you took a balanced poll that attempted to sample all walks of life from all over the country that you would find far more people could name the last three winners of Survivor or American Idol, or Dancing With the Stars, [insert reality show du jour here] than could name more than two the leader of Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan or Israel. Heck, I’d be surprised if they could name their own governor or a single state representative.
ETA: Here are a couple of examples. I’m sure there are more recent ones
ding! ding! ding!
You said ‘Magnitude’, which is the secret word of the day. You, Sir, have won a YouTube video designed especially for you… 
So whats the difference between a fart in the wind and one of Palins"Answers"to a political question?
The fart doesn’t smell as bad.
And English people. I don’t feel sorry for her at all. She’s earned the hell that is learning her husband is dead afresh every morning. Malignant, evil cow.

I guess I feel differently. I can support a “get your foot off my neck, NOW” sentiment, I just can’t bring myself to support “get your foot off my neck and then die a slow and terrible death” sentiment. Whatever harm her policies did, address them with policies which redress the wrongs. One is justice, the other is revenge.
Similarly, I don’t want George Bush dead, I just want him out of power. I don’t even care if he lives a lush lifestyle for the rest of his days. I just want his foot off my neck, his hand off the trigger, and his hand out of my wallet.
Enjoy,

You know, I may not like W, but I don’t wish him dead. Still, he’s not the bastard who made millions developing and promoting the process of injecting air into our kid’s icecream so that they get barely 1/3 of what we used to per scoop at a much much higher price.
Karma has caught up with a bad person who deliberately destroyed the lives of millions in the most savage, uncaring way. I’m just cheering Justice on and hoping the evil old witch isn’t buried at sea.
While I hold no extreme views one way or the other myself,many English people hold various degrees of antipathy to Thatcher ranging from dislike to outright hatred.
