If the caricature of Republicans as heartless capitalists with cash registers instead of souls is accurate then they should gleefully accept prodigals Peggy Noonan and Christopher Buckley back into the fold. Because I absolutely believe that their personal attacks on Sarah Palin were nothing personal. It was nothing more than a money grab.
I'd imagine the pressure to sell books is enormous. The top book publishers have a lot riding on each title. And if your book doesn't sell you don't get to write books for the top publishers anymore. It's capitalism in its purest form. And that's why I think Peggy Noonan's and Chris Buckley's savaging of Sarah Palin was simply about selling books. It was about media exposure for them to hawk their books.
Patriotic Grace came out in October. Oddly, that's around the time Noonan discovered that Sarah Palin was a vulgarization of the political system after first having praised her. And she went on every show she could find running Sarah Palin down while holding up a copy of her book which ironically was called, "Patriotic Grace."...

Was it business when you did it to Condileeza Rice?
ATTENTION!
Please, everyone who is as offended by this load of crap as I am, and if you contributed to the McCain Compliance Fund, demand a refund!
I contacted them this morning, expressing my frustration with the latest turn of events, and demanded a full and immediate refund of my $100 contribution. They are providing a refund.
HIT THEM WHERE IT HURTS!
The contact is Susan Nelson, National Finance Director, at snelson@mccain08hq.com.
This is disgraceful and petty!
(Sorry for multiple posts in multiple threads, but I’d rather post in each one than start a vanity.)
The heart of a mercenary is so ugly....yes, I believe they really are that venal.
They are merely an unprincipled, self-centered efforts to maintain professional credentials.
Dunno how successful those attacks will be - personally, all I'll need to hear is that Steve Schmidt or Mark Davis have been hired and whomever hired them loses my vote.
Peggy Who?
The attacks on her were the most vicious that I have ever
seen.This coupled with union thugs delving into Joe the
Plumber life is a portent of the future. They will only be
emboldened.Naturally,house and senate repulbicans will roll
over in a spirit of bipartisanship that will be demanded by
the MSM!

ANYONE who trashed Palin is on my permanent s**t list, deal with it.
Peggy Noonan and Chris Buckley have joined the waste that is the “american” MSM as nothing more than political hacks. History should record them as such.
Peggy & Chris have no principals, so I want nothing to do with them. Let them sit out in the cold for all I care.
Don’t know of this a**wipe, but let me educate you. These stiffs are NOT Conservatives, NEVER have been Conservatives, and I hope they burn in Hell with the rest of the sniveling NEOCONS!
Liberals don't want them and conservatives will no longer read/listen to them.
I turn off any media where either are spouting their sniveling, smarmy elitism, ridiculing "real conservatives."
If we wanted to listen to people trash conservatives, we'd still be subscribing to Time, Newsweek, etc.
Thanks but no thanks to either "commentator."
Let both look for new day jobs in liberal rags, if they can find any.
If you have any Peggy Noonan books send them BACK to her!
I figure he would not have gotten more than 25-30 million votes, and those would have been the votes of Republican morons. I said at the time of his nomination he wasn’t a Conservative and that I would NOT vote for him. However, when the alternative was a Communist agitator, I relented, but only because he made a token offering to Conservatives by placing Palin on the ballot. Frankly, I believe they did it purely to place a WOMAN on the ticket to conflict against the first Black (read multi-racial bastard Communist here!).
Bush1, Bush2, Dole, McCain. Not a Conservative among them.
“If you have any Peggy Noonan books send them BACK to her!”
Wouldn’t it be a shame if my dog happened to take a cr@p on before sending?
