Surprise: Peggy Noonan not sure who she’s voting for
http://hotair.com/archives/2008/10/06/surprise-peggy-noonan-not-sure-who-shes-voting-for/ ^

Posted on 10/06/2008 5:55:07 PM PDT by Def Conservative

Fittingly, the news is broken on a show hosted by the second-most fatuous suck-upper on MSNBC. Even if you buy her explanation for the infamous open mic mishap before Palin’s speech (also on MSNBC, coincidentally), this won’t come as a shock to anyone who reads her regularly. She’s a speechwriter and The One gives a good speech, or so I’m assured. That alone was probably enough to earn him a second look.

If she could even consider voting for Barack Obama, then she has no principles and has never had them. Period.

She was on Meet the Press this weekend. Spent a whole lot of time speaking yet I am not sure what she said.

I used to have a high opinion of her.....used to.

She’s a lost cause. Someone pissed on her doorstep during the 2004 election and she’s assumed the role as the Drive By favorite Republican. You never see her anymore on Fox News as she is always on NBC.

Shallow to the max.

I knew that she had turned against Bush, but to cross party lines for a near-Marxist like Obama is beyond the pale.

The great Ronald Wilson Reagan would be turning over in his grave to hear his former speech writer say that she would even contemplate such a thing as voting for Obama.

Noonan has been so influenced by the lib media that she never fails to disappoint them. She is one of them, IMO.

She admitted a long time ago that the black guy should win to show how great a nation we are, or some such pap.

She is trying to hawk a book on conservative radio this week, telling us to lay off Hussein.

i believe she has been corrupted by the NY/DC rarefied, elitist air. hard to know what’s really going on in the country if that is your axis mundi, and very hard to get asked to those smart upper West Side/Georgetown parties if you’re a right winger, dontcha know!

I also thought very highly of Peggy Noonan. Silly me, thinking she actually MEANT what she said. Now I would have a hard time describing her in words suitable for open microphones...

She guested with Laura Ingraham this morning and said she thinks of herself less and less as a Republican, but still a conservative.

I never understood people's attraction to Noonan.

To me she's always been an airhead. Her columns are full of vapid, emotional fluff.

I remember when she criticized George Bush for mentioned God once in a speech.

She's obviously a legend in her own mind, infatuated by herself. Really.

Peggy has had some sort of fetish for years. This is what she wrote 14 years ago:

"Young black men will save our country. I'm not sure completely what I mean by this but--they're tough and smart and know how to survive... Anyway, something just tells me they're going to save our country."
- Peggy Noonan in her book, Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness (1994).

Gas Bag Noonan has always been in love with the sound of her voice.
She could be announcing the time and drag it into a ten minute soliloquy.
Obviously, she never learned the maxim-
“Better to be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”

Ah, Peggy, Peggy, Peggy.

To think that you once published "When Character was King"

And now Peggy has sold herself for a mess of porridge just like Gergen.

There's a circle in hell for betrayers such as her. And from the look on her face, she sees the bill coming due.

I used to buy her books...used to.

Haven’t for several years, and won’t ever again. She’s Manhattanized. She also loves her own voice like Schumer loves a camera.

Sad. She’s gone from Ronald Reagan to Ron Reagan Jr before our very eyes.

Her columns are full of vapid, emotional fluff.

Actually, I scrolled through the responses to see how long until someone noted, as you did, her hyper-emotionalism (it was 25 and 36 posts, respectively). I hate to be sexist, but perhaps menopause will improve her--I've certainly seen it happen. She reminds me of Zeffereli's Juliet, "in love with love."

What a bitch.

I remember seeing a couple of her columns that I didn't agree with, but to even consider voting for Hussein O. is pure insanity.

And she's selling a book too??

Her name is now mud, just like Linda Chavez's after the immigration debate. I won't read her again. (Not that I did that much before. I think she's in the same lame-o orbit George Will occupies...wherever that is.)

She is going to vote for McCain. She is just trying to play the game like so many in the elitist conservatives. They like to win but they don’t like to get their hands dirty. We shouldn’t waste our time attacking Peggy. She isn’t worth it but she is partially right. Ayers shouldn’t be the only thing. The key thing McCain should be attacking is the government and Obama as its uber proxy.

She is hawking a book. The problem is that if she pisses off the Reps, no will buy it. She must think that her book sales will increase if she appears non-partisan.
