Yes, sir! I don’t know what came over me!
“Investors’ Business Daily” has become what the “Wall Street Journal” used to be, 30 years ago.
I’m sure she would vote for him again...
Thanks! I forgot about this PBS harpy who I loathe. But the other harpy is a female writer Noonan recently wrote about playfully pretending she was her sister.
Thanks Peggy. I knew this two years ago. If you can blow the guy once, you’ll probably do it again. idiot.
I am certain Noonan didn't mean it LITERALLY, but starts it as more of a figure of speech.
Now look where we are... we are discussing the construct of the paragraph rather then the CONTENTS (which are much more important) thanks to you.
Why would she engage in such an exercise? Bizarre.
google it and you can read full article at google link.
"You elected me to get the car out of the ditch that Bush drove it into--"
"Uh, The Democrat Congress elected in 2006 was responsible for the budget. They drove the car into the ditch."
'Well, it's in a damn ditch and I'm doing all I can to get it out!"
"All you, Pelosi, and Reid have done is drive it further into the ditch. It's under ten feet of mud now."
"Look! I'm doing all I can! I'm a community organizer, not an engineer, dammit!"
Are you thinking of Maureen Dowd?
"If you thought the 1994 election was historic, just wait till this year".
With all due respect to the broad who whined about being exhausted “defending” 0bama to everyone else, it means nothing if she continues to vote for him and those who support his policies.
Is it just me? I am tired of pap written by unprincipled flake cakes who pretend to know how we think and feel.
Kathleen Parker?
Google and The WSJ have an agreement.
If if your search terms appear in the WSJ you will see the entire article.

Try it you will like it!
Noonan goes to great lengths to point out that, anecdotally, women are now more engaged in the process than seemingly ever before. And then Noonan cites a litany of reasons as to why this might be, such as, women are the family decision makers with respect to health care and education, etc.
She makes it sound as if women are so wisely ahead of the curve.
While I'm more than delighted that women have finally waken up from their emotional slumber, I would hardly say that women are leading the parade here, but that is another liberal meme, “women are so smart, they see things neanderthal men can't see”.
Excuse me, what have men been railing about for YEARS. Remember the “angry white men”?
As I said, I'm glad to have my female sisters along in support, but I detest the same old liberal stereotype that a woman's antenna is keen and is a leading indicator. Poppycock. Men have been shouting about this danger for years now, only to be sandbagged as crazy by people like Noonan.
I'm glad women may finally be awakening from their emotionally warm “government takes care of me” coma. It's about time!

Actually, it was another poster who pointed out that the opening words of her column were — in his words — “misleading”. I simply responded to SOTC’s reply ridiculing the poster’s focus on “minutiae” because it probably was LITERALLY the first time I’ve ever seen or heard anyone categorize the opening statement of an argument as “minutiae”.
While you are probably right that Noonan didn’t mean LITERALLY that nobody who follows politics was talking about anything else, even as a figure of speech (and indeed just a few words later stated explicitly) she is stating that this encounter was the biggest political story of the week (or even of the year) as pertaining to waning support for Obama and his agenda.
As for the “content” of the story, there has been quite a bit of discussion of the woman who is “exhausted defending” Obama (including the fact that despite her exhausted condition she is still out there defending and supporting him). I don’t know about the rest of Peggy’s column because I didn’t read it, but the content of what was excerpted is just Peggy hyperbolizing about the importance of this seminal encounter between Obama and one of his exhasted (and perhaps seemingly disillusioned) supporters. I think she is way off the mark in how much importance she seems to be placing on the exchange, so much so that I doubt I would be impressed with the rest of her analysis of it.
Are you thinking of Maureen Dowd?
THANK YOU!!! How I always forget I’ll never know. But I inevitably confuse the two.
