[Does anybody know who Peggy Noonan is working for this year - because I definitely caught a whiff of Noonan in the tail end of that speech. "Buildings fell, and a nation rose..." etc. Anybody else share this assessment?]
..................
As I'm sure someone else will have told you, she took a sabbatical from writing her column to volunteer to the Bush campaign. Yes that line is pure Noonan, easily the greatest line of the speech.
LOL! I'm *still* waiting for Morris' prediction in '98 to come true--on election night on Fox, he was still saying the GOP would pick up 40-50 seats.
I know this is from Morris...but, it's still true ;-)
Karen Hughes.
The quote "soft bigotry of low expectations" is from the late New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan.
Sort of like monsieur kerry at the American Legion convention...not! What a clunker that guy kerry is! He gives all new meaning to the terms arrogant, pompous, verbose, condescending, and unlikeable.
And, did anyone else notice his limp-wristed "salute" to the Legion attendees? How about those longish girly-man fingernails? And, how about that foreign "boat" he was riding in with his boss (Teresa) off Nantucket Island? What a guy! A real "man of the people". He'd know about two Americas, that's for sure - one for him and his ilk, the other for the "little people".
Kerry is the male (at least technically) Leona Helmsley. He is truly nauseating.
Bush knocked it out of the park. And the GOP put on the show of the year. I loved it all!
The guy is a bit of a slime but IMHO I think he is on target here and really thinks the campaign is going in the right direction. What can you say about the speech
The libs can't handle the truth. Oh and get some OXY clean
good on coffee stains
LOL I knew what you meant. I would NEVER post before coffee.
Transformed? TRANSFORMED???!!!
Has Morris been sleeping? The War on Terror has never been anything else but a war between freedom and oppression. What does he think Al Qaeda is, a bunch of blackmailers? They want to tear down the free societies of the world to establish a religious order where people submit to the government.
Bush didn't transform anything. He may have caused Morris to wake up and smell the coffee. If he made more libs do that, it was a good thing.
Shalom.
I love W. However, I thought the speech was a "C" at best as a political device. That said, it was a watershed turning in the re-establishment of liberty as THE key goal of the USA instead of "equality," and that in itself is incredible.
Morris would be great as an advisor with Karen Hughes as long as you have two strong MALE-oriented advisors to offset them. Morris tends to think that women control elections.
Not to be the "tagline police", but if there's room, you should try to attribute the quote in your tagline to Morris, otherwise people who are skimming over the threads will say that you wrote that, or the DU crowd will say that you plagiarized it. Don't give away any ammo to the left (grin!).
As the election draws closer and if Bush's numbers go down, Morris will blame that "awful" speech Bush gave at the convention.
**The speech satisfied every single political need. He contrasted with Kerry without appearing negative. He demonstrated emotion without pandering. He rose to a level of substantive specificity without becoming wonkish.**
Must agree with Morris here.
I just don't get the foot fetish thing. It's the least atractive part of the human body.
