They’ve broken out into chants of “USA! USA!”

I've heard Obama followers shout "O-BA-MA" but never "U-S-A".

And then, suddenly, Sinatra. A Nelson Riddle arrangement. “The best is yet to come, and babe won’t it be fine…” Mellow. Music you can think to. Music you’re grateful to hear. Why Sinatra? Because he actually is cool.

Why is that?

We always hear about musicians who are upset about their musical legacy being hijacked by a politician. Can't say I'd see Frank happy about THIS era of Democrats.

I love when a beltway pundit goes in and out of consciousness. Peggy give up the prose and go away. We cant trust you because you are flighty, chase the buck and need acceptance.

Peggy Noonan:

“Man this is a well drilled group.”

Is Peggy staring into a mirror?

The Democrats show greater affection for eachother

Seriously, she writes "each other" as ONE word?

[Bullish]

This is a hotter floor than the Republicans had, it’s more varied racially and ethnically and also more colorful – more people dressed in red, white and blue, shoes to hat, more people in crazy donkey hats, more wearing dozens of buttons. They look happy to be there, and a lot of them looked grateful, like it was their first convention.

Why don't you just go ahead and join them than Peggy?

You know you want to. Or have you already?

Peggy Noonan voted for Obama...

October 17, 2008

So the Republican party today is “vulgar” according to Peggy Noonan:

In the end the Palin candidacy is a symptom and expression of a new vulgarization in American politics. It’s no good, not for conservatism and not for the country. And yes, it is a mark against John McCain, against his judgment and idealism.

Peggy Noonan says that the conservative movement left her thus forcing her to vote for a leftist, if not socialist, this election.

Peggy Noonan: Sarah Palin Is a ‘Nincompoop’

Nov 5, 2010

Peggy Noonan has never much cared for Sarah Palin. In 2008, she deemed Palin’s presence on the Republican ticket “political bullshit,” and later noted the former Alaska governor seemed “out of her depth in a shallow pool” during the campaign. Now Palin has riled her again, with her observation on Fox News that Ronald Reagan was “an actor” before becoming president.

Needless to say, this isn’t sitting well with Noonan, who so eloquently praised Reagan’s feet in What I Saw At The Revolution (”It was a beautiful foot, sleek. Such casual elegance and clean lines. But not a big foot, not formidable, maybe even a little...frail. I imagined cradling it in my arms, protecting it from unsmooth roads...”). In her Wall Street Journal column today, Noonan makes it clear she feels no such affection for Palin, or her tootsies.

Well, to be honest, if I have a choice of music I get to hear, it would be Steppenwolf over Sinatra. Could tolerate Sinatra I guess over rap. As a rule, anything before 1970 is good. Though no Guy Lombardo please.

The day old Peg called Sarah Palin vulgar was the end. She went with Obama and I have not forgotten.
