I listened to Peggy Noonan today and caught her with H&C. I believe when she made that "grating" comment, she was referring to the end of his speech .. where he was saying "the greatest achievements .." or whatever were coming.
Way Too Much God - Was the president's speech a case of "mission inebriation?"
Excerpt: "The inaugural address itself was startling. It left me with a bad feeling, and reluctant dislike. Rhetorically, it veered from high-class boilerplate to strong and simple sentences, but it was not pedestrian. George W. Bush's second inaugural will no doubt prove historic because it carried a punch, asserting an agenda so sweeping that an observer quipped that by the end he would not have been surprised if the president had announced we were going to colonize Mars."
What's happened to our Peggy??
