Noonan is an elitist wannabe. When they are finished using her she’ll have no where to go.
Peggy Noonan is dead to me.
I am also a recovering Noonan fan.
Noonan, I guess, is a closet elitist.
Noonan likes elitists who can “connect” with the unwashed masses, and I guess that is what she thinks Reagan did -—
Noonan admires the connection Reagan had with the public, BUT, Noonan seems to require that our leaders meet her snob oriented litmus tests before she will support a good Republican.
I don't know. I thought I understood Noonan. She wrote in such a way as to convey her understanding of grass roots America.
How she got the Palin thing so wrong is depressing.
Maybe Noonan knew that nobody would care about a female pundant, with a Female VP we could listen to, instead?
Was this juvenile catty behavior?
I don't get it, and it did break my heart, as well.
Noonan is a whore and she does what whores do.
Noonan believes her own publicity.
We all just became too unimportant for Peggy to play with us anymore.
I second your opinion. Couldn’t have wrote it better myself.
She’s always repulsed me......Using Reagan’s legacy to reflect on her own importance with her sickening smarmy affectations. As mentioned above.....a WHORE.
When you’re right , you’re right!
Ever notice how the Bushies both took a slap at conservatives, with the “kindler, gentler” crap and also with the “compassionate conservative” hogwash? No wonder both of them left the GOP in shambles upon their departure.
Noonan is a girl from East Rutherford High School in the swamps Jersey calls the Meadowlands. She went to Farleigh Dickinson, Madison, as distinguished from FDU Rutherford or FDU Madison. She affects the accent of Bill Buckley and the airs of Gore Vidal. She is a talented writer but more and more she is a modern female Jay Gatsby. An outsider who longs to live the life of the elite. Her acceptance in that world now depends upon her joining the party for Obama. Truly sad.
Indeed. I used to love Peggy Noonan. But her behavior during the last election makes me wonder had she been replaced by a pod person. Slobbering all over a candidate who’s to the left of George McGovern makes no sense for an alleged anti-Communist pro-life JFK Democrat Catholic turned Reagan Conservative.
Peggy went native among the predominantly liberal New York elites where she lives. Got to be like there, ya unnestan?
When somebody says that they are too good to be my friend, I don’t necessarily believe them, but I am pretty confident that the friendship is over, one way or the other.
Sorry Peggy - you’ve gone to the dark side. Former Fan
Don’t give any hits to Noonan’s articles, please—
Well said post #5!!
Palin only represents, if anything, a subsection of “ordinary people.” Where I live, “ordinary people” are not fundamentalist protestants and don’t whine and bitch about “elitists” like they are the second coming of William Jennings Bryant. They also, for the most part, don’t let their daughters get knocked up (outside of the ghetto dwellers who we keep at arms length).
