She can't ever find very much good to say about President Bush, but considers that leftist West Wing writer a "good friend."

Is that the detective in you saying that!!

[Miss Marple]

Yes, it is. Sitting here sipping tea in the village of St. Mary Meade, I am struck by how much Peggy Noonan reminds me of when the last schoolmistress was appointed at the day school, and one of the teachers felt she had been overlooked. She went around making "helpful" comments and analyzing everything the new head did.

Finally everyone tired of her and would avoid her in the halls. She eventually married the greengrocer and went to live in Swansea.

Is that a good enough Miss Marple impersonation?
