The 60's thru 70's come to mind.

And Gorbachev had quite a few fans in DC, too...

She deserves nothing less! I'm thinking a Japanese Martini. Start with a jigger of gin and add a splash of sake. Dry like her sense of humor with a twist of lemon for that slightly bitter aftertaste from the burn of having a stiletto that an unsuspecting reporter didn't notice going in being removed.
