Pittman is a big dem. Noonan is a lib and has been a lousy writer for the last 4 + years. Her stuff in the WSJ has just been nonsense for 4+ years.
Trust No One...
Nothing makes me happier than when stupid people lose money. With the “brain trust” associated with this start-up, I have a feeling in 12 to 18 months I’ll be elated.
Used to love her, esp. when she wrote for Magnus Ronaldus. SUPER DISAPPOINTED, and...she has completely jumped the shark.
How does a woman THAT smart get THIS stupid....?!
Stupid hag!
sad.
I never cared for her columns even when she pretended to be a Republican. She helped write a few speeches for Reagan and from her ramblings, one would think she was Reagan’s chief of staff and best friend. He probably hardly knew her.

Peggy originally was a democrat, don’t know if she
officially changed at any time.
I put Noonan on my “Ignore List” months ago.
Her speaking style reminds me of an aunt whose had a few too many wines at a family dinner.
Peggy Noonan is a good *writer,* but not much of a thinker. She was Reagan’s speechwriter, not his policy adviser. He told her what he wanted to say, and she made it sound good.
I think she should be the political theater critic for the Village Voice.
Peggy Noonan would have been a pinch hitter for Megan Marshack at the drop of a hat.
ping.
Over time she has become a self-righteous whiner, hardly a good reflection on someone who had access to Reagan himself. Her mind has turned to mush.
Hmmm. Why would women over 60 be writing to women over 40? To let them know how to ditch their principles? Although Noonan never really had any. She wrote the ‘kinder, gentler nation’ for GHWB, which was a slap at Reagan. And was stupid enough to feed the Senior Bush the ‘read my lips’ quip, which ended up giving us 8 years of the Clintons.
(Raising my eyebrows, tilting my head, lightly smiling and speaking very slowing and softly [so Mika can understand]) “Thank you _so_ much, Peggy.”
That said, it's kind of handy that with the Coming of the New, Improved Black Jesus, so many allegedly "conservative" opinionators like her & Frum & Parker have outed themselves.
I suspected it, all along- at least they'll all get invited to the "cool" set's cocktail parties around the beltway, now.
As if she is fresh out of a girls’ finishing school, Peggy always talks like she is balancing a plate on her head.
That wizened bunch is more like targetingwomen over eighty!
