“For seven weeks I’ve listened to her, trying to understand if she is Bushian or Reaganite
Maybe she is Sarah Palin.”
We have a winner!
Bye Bye Peggy. It was nice knowing you.
I’ve been waiting for Noonan to behave in such a way that confirms my belief that she is some sort of fraud.
This is it.
Noonan’s got the typical feminist problem with Sarah Palin. Governor Palin could be the first woman VP, but she doesn’t wear pantsuits, collect money from Emily’s list, seek support and sympathy from feminazis by complaining about having to make it in a man’s world. She doesn’t use any of those corny (and grossly sexist) slogans that put down men. Of course, it also matters to the feminists that Governor Palin is 20-30 years younger than they are, considerably more attractive, looks healthy and fit, has a robust sense of humor, and connects with the people she is talking to.
Sometimes those old feminists get kind of cranky— mainly when they slip their thong undies on backwards.
Peggy doesn’t get much face time with the talking heads these days. Maybe she’ll get on MSNBC now.
ENVY
do we really have proof she wrote anything for Reagan?
I sure as hell hope so. I voted early, and cast my vote for Palin for vice president, not McCain for president. Palin has blown that old line that "people don't vote for Vice President" out of the water. I know a lot of people who were going to write in, vote 3rd party, or stay home on the 4th. As it is now, they're voing for Palin.
As for Peggy Noonan...what's a Peggy Noonan? Is she related to that Noonan kid in "Caddyshack"?
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Oh Peggy Noonan just go away!
Noonan, Brooks, and Christopher Buckley are the worst sort of elitist snobs. They are truly country-club Republicans, and they would rather turn the nation over to a Marxist cabal than see the peons (their opinion, not mine) in the party have success. They may be even worse than the business leaders in the Republican Party who seem to always sacrifice conservative principles when there is an opportunity to feed at the government trough. I’ll take a woman of the people who has good instincts over the Noonan snobs and the corporate welfare kings any day.
“Cat Fight” Envy!!!
Well, it would be if Noonan had her way!
Noonan: “She is not as thoughtful or persuasive as Joe the Plumber”
This line proves Noonan has an agenda completely different from the one she pretends. To assert Palin is “not thoughtful” is to demonstrate anything but an honest evaluation of Palin’s thinking.
Peggy no matter how much you whine Augusta National ain’t letting you in.
In the end the Palin candidacy is a symptom and expression of a new vulgarization in American politics.
In other words, she's become an elitist herself who resents Governor Palin for being a "vulgar" (i.e. average) American who has risen to become governor of the largest state in the Union and may very well become the next Vice President of this country.
In short, Peggy has subscribed to the view that only a permanent political class (educated in the Ivy League and well connected in Manhatten and Washington, DC) can lead this country, and not average citizens from small-town America, as the Founding Fathers intended.
Peggy who?
Peggy Noonan...she doesn't think aloud. She just...writes things.
More gasps of embarrassment from the GOP dinner party set and soi disant arbiters of party rectitude.
I’m looking forward to seeing Peggy’s head explode when Palin is sworn in as president in 2012 or 2016.
“In the past two weeks she has spent her time throwing out tinny lines to crowds she doesn’t, really, understand”
Noonan, you retard. If you want to make a claim about Palin’s supposed lack of understanding, you are required to provide evidence that you have observed facts pertaining to this claim. Otherwise, you are simply flapping your jaw.
