Peanut gallery = American People. These people occasionally speak the truth...unintentionally.

Peggy’s beef about Bummercare is that the Rats fumbled the political football in their fight over it, turning it into a spectacle of big spending that turned the stomachs of America. She still would have wanted to see Rat-esque changes in health care policy.

Even Jimmy Carter respected the worth of peanuts.

Noonan has been all over the map in recent years, I think she's been increasingly incoherent, but I think her praising Obama at the beginning only to hammer him later is a deliberate tactic used by many in the press, and in this case ostensibly on the right to appear fair minded. They don't want to be seen as being against Obama from the beginning, so they write laudatory fluff columns at first about his redemptive change and post-racial qualities only to slowly work toward their confirming their inherent distate for his ideology. Personally I'll just take the “he sucks on day one” columnist.

In an interview in his office, Mr. Axelrod was often defiant, saying he did not give a flying expletive about what the peanut gallery thinks and did not live for the approval of the political community.
They should have printed Axelrod's comments in the original german.

How could someone work for Ronald Reagan, then come to support the likes of the socialist Obama. Noonan is an idiot with no ideological compass.

She was drinking the same koolaid every broad with a black fantasy was.
Shame on her.
To: Starman417
Good old David, who just loves Obama a little too much is under fire for not doing a better job directing the President.Because Harvard-educated Obama and his wife can't figure out how to pour kool-aid out a boot with directions on the bottom. /sarc

It’s always politics-as-theater with Peggy. She doesn’t really oppose Obama’s policies, she is just bored with his act.

Nope...Peggy was smitten and now feels jilted. She's got a long long road to go to ever convince me to ever read her fluff again.

Could be. Agreed on the latter.
To: Starman417
Another one, a la Newt, that has become a D.C. insider...
To: Starman417
Sorry Peggy. You’re just like Newt and a lot of other Power Corridor residences: you may have a lot of insider knowledge and insights, but your judgment can no longer be trusted. Ever.

Noonan is a superlative speechwriter. Tell her what you need and she'll cook up a stemwinder.
As a columnist she is weepy and, worst of all, she has to think for herself which means the best you'll get are the tablescraps of the Upper West Side echo chambers she frequents.

Same difference, since it seems that once they are placed there, they don’t want to move.
