Sorry. Too little, too late.

Please head out to the nearest pasture, Ms. Noonan.

Idiot.

Sarah is a jewel. Conservatives need to respect her and punish anyone that berates her.

Then when the microphone went off she made fun of her and hob knobbed with her liberal media friends.

Peggy Noonan--ya have no credibility anymore. Time to retire.

Both Peggy and Kathleen owe Sarah an apology. I don't think she has intellectual firepower but its clear she's not a complete idiot.

Exactly. Let’s watch her reaction to debates next week...McCain needs an A-Game moment.

Thanks for posting that. I didn’t know P Noonan could say anything in such few words. Usually it takes her about 10,000 words, LOL.

I didn't look at the video.

I find Peggy Noonan's inability to make a well-constructed and supported point is just too frustrating.

Let me guess.

Her comment is awkwardly stuffed with oblique metaphors that have more to do with emotion than logic; and they mean more to her than to her readers.

When literally the free world is at stake with this vote,you can’t forgive these kind of errors in judgment. Peggy, Kathy, maybe fiction novel’s are in your future, just don’t spend those DNC checks too fast.

Yep. Along with Kristol and Parker and a few other alleged "conservatives" who have their heads to far up their Georgetown cocktail party rear-ends they can't see the forest for the trees. Palin is the real deal and has been all along.

She makes a good point.

The nation saw Palin tonight for 90 minutes uninterrupted. No pre-written speech, no editing, just Sarah being Sarah.

As Ernie Banks used to say, "Let's play two!"

Peggy shows you what happens when attempted eloquence isn't supported by belief.

A couple of days, she'll be writing another of her "Isn't it WONDERFUL that we have TWO great candidates?!" essays full of sunny nothingness.

Maybe McCain’s advisers set Couric up????

Making everyone expect a lousy performance tonight....but coming out like a Champ, unlike her interview with couric????

Feasible???

I’d say at least once a month, and perhaps as often as every few days at times, I think of Carson and miss him. There’s no one today that could touch him. Life is a little less enjoyable without him in the late night slot.

The train left 5 weeks ago Peggy. To bad you missed it being at your cocktail party with all your elitist, liberal friends and all. You can put lipstick on a pig . . . or in this case you can put a west coast gal’s plain speak on an elitist, self important backstabber and it is still an elitist, self important, backstabber. The future of the conservative party is having a party Peggy and you are not invited.

It was like Kennedy vs Nixon on steroids.

Sarah Palin is something special folks.

I think. Watching these press confrences on the hill lately. Nancy Pelosi ? Barney Frank ?

Imagine Sarah going to Washington and giving them hell. Oh how wonderful that will be for this country.

As I heard an NFL pundit say once, a quarterback needs to be smart, but not too smart. Otherwise, he tends to over-think a situation, rather than react quickly and accordingly to a threat.

The great quarterbacks were not towers of intellectual power, but they were confident, could memorize dozens and dozens of plays, knew what to do in very high pressure situations, knew how to lead.

I suppose Presidents Wilson and FDR were intellectuals. There was a lot of bad in their reigns.

The ones who think they are smarter than everyone else, therefore we must all comply to their will, are dangerous. (Not that that describes a certain candidate, or anything like that.)

I have to admit, as much as I was pulling for her, I had to turn it off after an hour. She had to back J-Mac's global warming crap; the Wall Street is at fault crap; didn't take the RATs to task for ACORN, Fannie M & Freddie M; I was not impressed.

You know what? I watched the footage of the Palin family getting off the plane in St. Louis, and one of the SS guys had the broadest smile on his face so you just know he was loving this assignment - admittedly the Palins would be a fun gig, but I don’t think you get that look on your face if the buzz is the Veep candidate is headed into the crapper.

Thanks No-nan, I’d rather use the SS indicator than your infinite wisdom.

I started watching Carson off an on from about 15 years of age. In the early days his guests were amazing. He was on for 90 minutes, and by the end of the show he could have three or four of the funniest people in history on the show, all still sitting there feeding off each other. And of course, he was no slouch. All of it was good fairly innocent humor. Those moments were priceless.

I spent nearly thirty years watching his shows. They were a great release at the end of the day. You could watch with the spouse and talk. It was great.

He was a fixture for hundreds of millions of people. It would be interesting to know how many people at one time or another regularly watched his show over the approximate 30 years it was on.

His share in his time slot was simply phenomenal during certain times in his long run on the show.
