Does Peggy have a drinking problem? Is the first para the writer’s way of coyly implying that?

[C. Edmund Wright]

Why is it incoherent? Because she wrote it....

[Sherman Logan]

The British, who in India strapped rebellious sepoys to cannon and blew them to pieces?

I think it's reasonable to note that the British, with exquisite multicultural sensitivity, were merely following a longstanding local custom.

They were, rightly, unwilling to impose British methods of execution on the indigenous peoples.

“Noonan is usually an astute analyst”

I stopped reading right there.

Noonan’s a self-absorbed, paid-by-the-word airhead who’s been going out to lunch for decades on her connection to the Reagan Administration.

[skeeter]

Noonan has been dining out on her reputation as a Reagan speechwriter for far too long. She just isn’t that deep a thinker.

[Sherman Logan]

the Senate report does not diminish America as a “force for good in the world,” a beacon of freedom, tolerance, and opportunity.

Perhaps not, but it certainly diminishes the world's perception that we are such a beacon.

Peggy Noonan's Column is Incoherent

There, much more accurate...

[TADSLOS]

Gin and keyboarding don’t mix well.

[bray]

Listening to her drone in her elitist sanctimony is torture enough.

Pray America is waking

[Nifster]

Didn’t need all that explanation.....Long ago Peg jumped the shark. She hasn’t written a coherent piece in years (maybe even decades)

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"Noonan is usually an astute analyst"

This could have been said seven years ago, but lets keep in mind, this is the 'conservative woman who swooned over the prospect of having Barrack Obama as President in 2008.

[InterceptPoint]

The only surprise in this well written article is the author’s assumption that anyone still pays any attention to the words written by Peggy Noonan. I suppose there are still a few readers out there who do but I doubt if there are many if any on Free Republic. To call Peggy Noonan a Faux Conservative is being much too kind. As the author notes, incoherent is a more applicable term.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

DETENTION IS TORTURE!

ARREST IS TORTURE!

LOOKING AT THEM CROSSEYED IS TORTURE!

[Paine in the Neck]

Peggy does emoting; Peggy doesn’t do thinking.

[Wizdum]

If you can walk away from it without injury, it is not torture.

[Pietro]

Peggy just wants to get along on the upper Westside.

She couldn't care less about what the rubes in fly over country are saying.
