Alabama has its back up, or at least its Republicans and conservatives do, and it’s understandable. They don’t like when Northerners and liberals and people in Washington tell them who their senator should be. They don’t like when reporters from outside come down and ask questions and turn over rocks looking for what’s crawling on the underside. There’s always an underside. Man is made from crooked timber.
People from the Deep South feel culturally patronized. This is because they are. Reporters from outside don’t admire or relate to them; when a Washington Post journalist presented as fact, in a 1993 news report, that evangelical Christians are “largely poor, uneducated and easy to command,” you know he was thinking of Southern evangelicals. Hollywood has long cast Southerners as witless and brutish in films from “Inherit the Wind” to “Deliverance” and “Mississippi Burning.”
Politically, Southern conservatives have long decried a double standard. Ted Kennedy spent much of his life as a somewhat inebriated roué whose actions caused the death of a young woman, but now we’re instructed to call him the Lion of the Senate. Bill Clinton was worse than Roy Moore. Mr. Clinton was accused of rape, harassment and exposing himself, but his party backed him and he kept the presidency. Democratic Sen. Al Franken was credibly accused Thursday, by an anchor at KABC radio in Los Angeles, of groping and harassing her on a USO tour in 2006. When she resisted him, Leeann Tweeden wrote, “Franken repaid me with petty insults,” and took an obscene photo of her on the way home, as she slept. Will the liberal media dig into Mr. Franken as they have dug into Mr. Moore? Or is he too good a source and friend?

Of course Peggy, this might eventually mean “saying No” to nominees like Judge Gorsuch, but I suspect that doesn’t really bother, in the same way that the idea of HRK appointing the next few SCOTUS members bothered you.
I have zero use for her after she had pretty much endorsed obama. I don’t care what Noonan has to say.
Sorry Piggy...Alabama Women, Say No to Mitch McConnell
What? Pretty sure she hasn’t been a favorite around here for the last couple of years.
How about saying No to blood-thirsty abortion monger Doug Jones?
Why? Do you see her Beltway dreck as worthy of any kind of support?
It’s behind a pay wall, I don’t know where she is going with this.
Well there is the irony of Miss Noonan taking to yet another NYC newspaper to admit that Alabamans don’t like NYers telling them what to do, but she’s going to do it anyway.
Like that woman. But hen I like lost luggage.
Shut up Peggy you dried up old prune liberal wacko living behind a stone wall with guards elitist establishment used up no good nothing left cocktail hour loser. Thanks for posting I do feel better indeed. Happy Thanksgiving
Nobody here likes Peggy Noonan, they haven’t for years
Well my goodness, that surely sounds like a description of .... Peggy Noonan!
She’s a dingbat
She’s a Never Trumpin’ BHussein lovin’ crone
Long past her sell by date
Noonan writes: “Just because something is understandable doesn’t mean it’s right. The charges against Mr. Moore are not only serious; they are completely credible.”
Poor Peggy apparently does not read anything outside of the media bubble she works in.
Has Nooner ever endorsed a Repub?
Swoonin Noonin, a two time Obama voter, has the chutzpah to open her yap.
She’s a great example of why the 19th needs to be repealed ASAP. (Yeah, I know it’s too late)
Don’t worry it’ll get syndicated to Sunday’s NY Post
