I lost all respect for Peggy Noonan when she said what she did about Palin when she thought the microphones were off.
No thanks. The smug, elitist ‘conservatives’ can take a hike.
Understanding Peggy Noonan.
Warning!! Does not compute! Do not attempt this!
Uppity Noonan just wants to be invitied to all her NY cocktail parties.
Who cares?
Stay away Peggy.
ditto
Peggy who-nan? buh bye
She is an idiot. Her columns in the now Fox-ized, Murdoch-ized, Obama-ized Wall Street Journal (WSJ) have been crap for the past 4 years. They became so bad a few years ago that I stopped reading them. Just garbage.
I think as she has gotten older she has become a more guilt-ridden Manhattan liberal Catholic. A Kennedy Catholic. A lot of them voted for O.
I will be cancelling the WSJ and will tell them why. IBD is so much better and a conservative paper.
Understanding Peggy Noonan is kind of like understanding al-Qaeda. Not in the sense that she’s a terrorist— but in the sense that, who gives a crap? Screw her.
Peggy has taken her marbles and gone home.
Pretty insightful until the last three words.
Peggy is a NY Republican (contadiction in terms) with Beltway Insider roots. She needs to get off Manhattan Isl. and live with American conservatives before I accept her being called a conservative.
time to hang it up
Peggy Noonan: thoroughly overrated, snooty, country club Republican who took repeated bows for the temporary residual glow she once featured having stood close to Ronald Reagan’s overwhelming brilliance for a short while.
Peggy Noonan is all about “intangibles” (speech-giving as “leadership”, vague notions about “character”), and has never cared too much about conservative policies.
She liked Reagan because he was a visionary leader who was also very articulate. She disliked the Clintons not for their liberal policies, but rather for their dishonesty and crassness. She was too good for the trailer-park Clintons.
But she is drawn to Obama’s messianic element, even if that means she is supporting socialism.
No, no you have it all wrong. Noonan can stay gone. Period.
I used to respect Peggy, years ago. Not for a long long time.
What Rintense said.
Well, I'll have to get completely crocked off my arse, but I'm willing to give it a try.
So, who's willing to sponsor my bar tab? It's going to take a lot of hard drinking to get into that psychotic b*tches head...
Still, anything for the cause!
