Peggy Noonan makes my ass ache! And that’s the kindest thing I can say about her.....

[Spok]

‘Axelrod was often defiant, saying he did not give a “flying” expletive “about what the peanut gallery thinks”

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

[HiTech RedNeck]

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.

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.

[LouD]

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.

[the invisib1e hand]

She was drinking the same koolaid every broad with a black fantasy was.

Shame on her.

[Clock King]

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

[TChad]

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

[JohnLongIsland]

Another one, a la Newt, that has become a D.C. insider...

[YHAOS]

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.

[paddles]

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.

[HP8753]

Peggy Who??

[abb]

Peggy, you're nothing to me now. You're not a sister, you're not a friend. I don't want to know you or what you do. I don't want to see you on television, or read what you write. I don't want you near any conservative conferences. When you see my friends, I want to know a day in advance, so I won't be there. You understand?

With apologies to Michael Corleone.

[Crichton]

Peggy Noonan has evolved into a fool. The one constant: she loves the sound of her own voice.

[KC_Conspirator]

Peggy is a fullfledged Beltway insider now - she can’t admit she was wrong about Obama and that he is an epic fail.

[alarm rider]

Noonan is a drama queen, and a New York “moderate”. Take anything she says with a grain of salt.

[Doc Savage]

She’s a douche!

[wintertime]

Even when I agree with Peggy she writes with a heavy dose of sacrine

[wintertime]

That should be: saccharine
