You don't understand Peggy. She is a elitist living off her association with Ronald Reagan. She looks down on most of us on this board. She mingles with her little literary circles on the upper West side of Manhattan and considers herself so privileged and "special." Reagan could and did write for and express himself. He had a core and he was a very godly man. Noonan is a hanger on.
I don't know where you got the misguided notion that "I don't understand Peggy". Get real. I most likely know her a lot better than you. I've read her life's story, I've read her writings, and I know her.
Understand? She has gotten a big head over the years, but she worked hard to get where she is now. Have you studied her career? She does her breezy "Manhattan thing", enjoys her lunches, and, it is a little bit odd how she has morphed into somewhat of an uppity, arrogant girl. But, I'm willing to give her a break now and then. But on this speech, she's mostly all wet!
Understand Peggy? ......... ROFL!
