Not always a fan of Noonan, but thought this was worth posting.

We are in the midst of the worst Washington scandal since Watergate.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~```

Nope. Seems Peggy has amnesia. Benghazi is the worst Washington scandal since Fast and Furious. And then comes the Clinton scandals.

Then - far down the list in DC scandals - comes Watergate.

What happens when you elect Marxists.

[nickcarraway]

Oh, Peggy, you should have retired 12 years ago.

[Venturer]

I haven’t trusted the Government nor the electoral process since Obama was elected.

Now we find they crippled the Republicans even worse than picking Romney as Candidate.

An election where fraudulent votes are counted, people voted more than once, now we find the IRS doing dirty deeds dirt cheap.

Add Benghazi and fast and Furious to this mess and also add Roberts being blackmailed to approve Obamacare and we seethe depth of the crooked administration we have in charge.

[SoFloFreeper]

But Peggy...Joe Klein says the AP story is no big deal...just a “policy debate”.

And Benghazi is a scam by Republicans.

The IRS? Well, Obamabuttlicker Joe Klein concedes it is bad...but hey, Obama is the MAN for Joe.

[Inyo-Mono]

Bttt.

[Billthedrill]

The IRS case deserves and calls out for an independent counsel, fully armed with all that position's powers. Only then will stables that badly need to be cleaned, be cleaned.

Uh, Peggy? The people doing this have absolutely no intention of cleaning any stables. This is the new business as usual.

[hosepipe]

“High Noonan” must be a western movie starring the Three Stooges..

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Something big has shifted. The standing of the administration has changed.

Put a sock in it Peggy. Where were you when it mattered?

[penelopesire]

Peggy still doesn’t get it.....the leftists don’t care if anyone ever respects the IRS or other abusive executive agencies anymore.

We just must OBEY.

[Fai Mao]

Why is anyone surprised by the use of the IRS to persecute dissent and of the government searching the AP with a secret warrant?

After all it those who support the Obamanation of Desolation that claim the constitution is just a document.

The left believes that the end justifies the means. They believe that their end is good and that any way they can achieve it is justified.

That is the true difference between the left and the right. The Right is generally made up of people that are either absolutist or rationalist in the areas of ethics and morals while the Left are subjectivist which is simply a modern form of sophist

[Paladin2]

Do you trust the IRS with your health dossier and payment approvals?

[djf]

Either he knew about fast and furious, IRS harassment, etc., or he didn’t.

If he knew, he’s complicit.

If he didn’t, he’s incompetent.

Choose your poison, Zero, you loser shyster huckster con-man!

[uncitizen]

And it would be shameful and shallow for any Republican operative or operator to make this scandal into a commercial and turn it into a mere partisan arguing point and part of the game. It's not part of the game.

Totally disagree with Noonan on this point! If ever we need to enter the 'game' and start playing hard ball, this is it! If talking points are true, why should they be off limits in the 'game', when the game is the very serious task of bringing attention to people and things that are wrong in our govt?

[NEWwoman]

BTTT

[muir_redwoods]

Bengazi is the scandal; all else is distraction. Actionable distraction certainly but it’s Bengazi that will keep Hillary out of the white house

[21st Century Crusader]

0bama using the IRS against his political enemies is clearly an IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE and are the actions of a tyrant.

[okie01]

We all have our biases. Mine is for a federal government that, for all the partisan shootouts on the streets of Washington, is allowed to go about its work. That it not be distracted by scandal, that political disagreement be, in the end, subsumed to the common good.

Really, Peggy. Do you not understand that this administration and the Democrat party have made the work of the federal government to subsume individual liberty and economic freedom?

How else can the country be defended except by "partisan shootouts"?

There is an enemy within, Peggy, and he controls the federal government. And, may I add, he is the guy you supported...

[okie01]

And it would be shameful and shallow for any Republican operative or operator to make this scandal into a commercial and turn it into a mere partisan arguing point and part of the game. It's not part of the game. This is not about the usual partisan slugfest. This is about the integrity of our system of government and our ability to trust, which is to say our ability to function.

How, then, do you propose to fight it, Peggy? With a high-minded bi-partisan commission of Washington lifers? Like yourself?
