I never, ever, thought I would say this... But I agree completely with Republican superbitch Peggy Noonan's column in Friday's Wall Street Journal .
She discusses quite eloquently the dumbing down of American politics, and though she doesn't go so far as other Republicans like Colin Powell or Christopher Buckley to endorse Barack Obama, her harsh words for Sarah Palin make her position quite clear:
In the end the Palin candidacy is a symptom and expression of a new vulgarization in... Read Full Story
By Zebulon Pike | October 24, 2008 Peggy Noonan, a writer who has made her name by overusing adjectives, envisions major benefits to a lurch left in America foreign policy : In a way, Mr. Obama can more easily go left in foreign relations for
the precise reason no one knows what going left is, because no one
knows what going right in foreign relations is, at least if "right"
means "conservative." Mr. Obama has a great chance, in this area, to
confuse the world. And a confused world is not... Read Full Story
This was an interesting read. And I am not saying that because of my views- this is an interesting read to lovers of politics from all sides. Seriously, it is time for our President to stop worrying about FOX News and start doing something positive! It's His Rubble Now And the American people want him to fix it. By PEGGY NOONAN At a certain point, a president must own a presidency. For George W. Bush that point came eight months in, when 9/11 happened. From that point on, the presidency—all...

I read a nice article by Peggy Noonan, published in The Wall Street Journal, that summarizes a lot of the frustrations that common Americans are feeling about our faltering institutions and growing anger at knowing that the real culprits of the debacle we are experiencing will be going home free. Another country voted in anger back in 1998. The population was angry at corruption, was angry at a worsening economy, was angry at record unemployment. It blamed, perhaps rightly so, its government... Read Full Story
She’s a conservative, so you can’t accuse her of being a mean old Marxist-Leninist liberal.
She’s a woman, so you have lost the misogyny card.
Peggy Noonan is appalled by Sarah Palin, as are most people who think about things.
But we have seen Mrs. Palin on the national stage for seven weeks now, and there is little sign that she has the tools, the equipment, the knowledge or the philosophical grounding one hopes for, and expects, in a holder of high office. She is a person of great... Read Full Story
The McCain campaign has attacked what they call a smear campaign on Sarah Palin by the liberal blogosphere. Now there is proof that poor Sarah is getting hit by some friendly fire too. An open microphone caught Republican operative Mike Murphy and former Reagan speech writer ad now conservative columnist Peggy Noonan ripping the choice of Palin as "gimmicky" and "cynical." They even throw poor Kay Bailey Hutchinson under the bus. To top it off Peggy Noonan, the last person in the world you... Read Full Story

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed . Thanks for visiting! Apparently, Peggy Noonan went from writing that Palin “could become a transformative political presence” to letting her hair down and crying “It’s Over” on a live mic after NBC’s Chuck Todd today.

A segment with NBC’s Chuck Todd ended with Republican consultant Mike Murphy and Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan were caught on a live mike ridiculing the choice of Sarah Palin. It seems not everyone is happy with the Pit Bulll with lipstick.

Peggy Noonan has always been one of my favorite writers. Her polished writing skills are legendary, as is her well-thought-out, frank views. I read her now in the Wall Street Journal , but she became famous as a speechwriter for Ronald Reagan, crafting some of his best-remembered lines.
Recently, she shared some of those political thoughts with Scott Ross. Peggy’s musings on the election and the American political landscape in general appear in her latest book, Patriotic Grace: What It... Read Full Story
"She killed. It was her evening. She became a Star... Probably on a new level..." -- Former Reagan Speechwriter and current Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan, on NBC News Special Coverage with Brian Williams Note - Noonan had famously suggested that Palin was a "mistake" back in early September when she was first chosen.
