I have never been SO disappointed in Peggy Noonan.
To use this occasion to settle old scores is tasteless and contemptible.
This should have been about Reagan...not about some creep called "The Hack."
I can't believe she would ruin her moment (I know I was looking forward to her column) with such Clinton-like trash.
Peggy, you let us down.
This is not her 'tribute' article - that was discussed here earlier - this is a 'wrap-up' from her point of view - and, IMHO, she's free to bash anybody she wants.
I disagree, and say good for her. She didn't identify them, but gave them a good castigation for their actions. If they are who I think they are(and I am pretty certain about who 'Haircut Boy' is), then she is going after them because they are actively working to undermine the Bush administration and the President's reelection chances. Turncoats like that should have the light shown on their actions. Her article is about the power-hungries, who will undermine a team effort to advance their agenda, themselves, or even just pettiness. They can do real damage, and are endangering our country and our future with their actions.
Good for her.
Agree. I don't always like her stuff (she is often self-indulgent, and occasionally magnificent) but this is the first time I have ever seen her petty, uncharitable, and unchristian.
Oh, and I know who the malignant leprechaun is. Perfect description. But reflects poorly on her.
I agree- I was loving the stories about Reagan and those that knew him and then that last part. Tacky.
