P. Noonan and K. Parker are both pathetic, probably from too many years reading Mandingo-type literature. Assisting the implementation of communism in the US is NOT conservative by any stretch of the imagination.
She might also be suffering from old fashioned class snobbery. Take a look at this article from the latest issue of the Weekly Standard.
She’s just part of the Republican party that apologizes for us at the DC cocktail parties.
It certainly hasn’t brought the country together...i feel more alienated than ever before...i may feel disenfranchised( i hate that word ) after the election.
I just heard the radio news and O is saying McCain is going to cut medicare, what a dishonest @sshole. MSM won't call him on it of course. When did he ever say he would cut Medicare. This guy is pure scum.
I will be hiking a section of the Appalachian trail during the week of the election...i don’t want to know who won until i get home that next Sunday...i wonder if being in the woods and not talking politics to anyone for a week that i can manage it...no radio, no Tv, no media...etc
Dear Peggy, get over yourself and SHUT UP!
No one cares what you think! You are just another elitist snob who doesn’t get it. Your words are empty flowery gag-o-matic rhetoric.
I refuse to read her crap anymore. She has become a bitter has been.
She concludes the article by saying that people with her POV are being read out of conservatism, and if so - "Come and get me, copper." Well, Peggy, consider yourself "gotten." You are an unperson. I only read because I think I might learn something. And from now on your byline no longer suggests that possibility.
She's become a performing pet for the liberal MSM. They put her on, she trashes Palin, and the MSM gets to say how smugly virtuous they are: “See, even conservatives like Peggy Noonan agree with us!”
And Noonan is being dishonest with herself when she says Palin doesn't stand for anything. She does stand for something: She's a populist, anti-corruption conservative who believes in individual rights and responsibilities, and a strong, no-nonsense foreign policy.
That Peggy Noonan, for all her Eastern sophistication, can not fathom why these values are popular with American voters, reveals that Noonan is not nearly as astute an observer as she thinks she is.
...and Noonan’s swoonin’.
What a useful idiot.
What a terrific response.
The WSJ didn’t print it because it was so much better than the original.
ya know what,you may have a point there...I’ve read her tripe this last year but has she attacked a democrat yet or just us?
As Michael Reagan wrote shortly after the RNC, Sarah Palin is the best living embodiment of the Ronald Reagan legacy.
That is not to say she and RR see every issue the same way, but she alone among contemporary politicians represents so many of the same values AND can excite - inspire - lead in ways that other conservatives cannot (through no fault of their own). Palin has rare political, leadership, and communication gifts that come along once in a generation at best. She alone gives us hope of a resurgence of conservatism.
Peggy Noonan’s delusional attacks on Governor Palin have BETRAYED the Reagan legacy.
The reason that Noonan, Parker, and Christopher Buckley are becoming widely despised is that they are working to destroy the best bright hope that has come along in the past 20 years. All because Palin does not meet their sniffy, stuffy, pretentious “standards” of what they consider most respectable.
Well guess what, turncoat morons, Ronald Reagan went to an unknown little midwestern college and worked a career as an ACTOR before he succeeded so brilliantly in politics. He was always sneered at in the same ways that Noonan-Parker-Buckley are sneering at Palin.
It is absolutely disgusting that supposedly conservative chatterbox writers are serving the Demagogues’ agenda of tearing down Palin.
Noonan, Parker, Buckley and their pretentious ilk are dead to me — I will never care about their bogus opinions about anything. They are on the side of the snivelling traitor class of left-wing Demagogues, no matter what their past positions or claims of “conservatism” might indicate.
clarification: when I said “through no fault of their own” above I was referring solely to communication gifts that seem to be beyond teaching or practice (though practice can anyone communicate better). OF COURSE many so-called conservative leaders can be blamed for egregious failures to stay true to conservative principles. I meant only that it’s hard to see anyone else on the scene now who could have anything like the impact Governor Palin is having, no matter how hard they might try.....
Painful - I used to read everything she wrote.
Since her divorce & subsequent return to New York (1990?), Peggy has become increasingly enraptured with the sound of her own voice. She also has become more and more liberal. I’m sure she gets invited to nice parties now, but I haven’t read her books or columns since the early 90s.
Noonan sure comes across as an attention-craving media whore now. I don’t doubt that she is critical of Palin but the columns are ginned up to excite the Mediascum so that they will talk about Noonan, have her on their shows, invite her to their cocktail parties, etc.
Noonan has sold out the Reagan Revolution to whore herself to the Mediascum of NY and DC.
Yeah, I can tell by the way no one shows up at Palin’s rallies.
Oh, wait...
