I'm shocked that Peggy is dissing the speech. A little speechwriter envy, perhaps? Very odd column.

A little speechwriter envy, perhaps?

This is the most probable explanation...considering she greatly praised the speech right after it was given.

You said it, Peggy wasn't asked to participate, I guess. She's been going soft lately anyhow.

And, she should lose the silly Carl Levin glasses on the end of the nose look!

Me too....did some liberal cast a "spell" on this former Reagan speechwriter? I thought President Bush's speech was beautiful...what the heck is wrong with Peggy? Not enough attention?

I kind of see her point. I watched the speech on the late-night C-span replay. I didn't think it was eloquent and it didn't make me feel like going out to kick tail in the third quarter, and I think that's the kind of speech that Peggy likes.

OTOH, I think that speech is going to be very inspirational to the good guys in Iraq who have concerns about the upcoming elections and very upsetting to the ayatollahs which I think was Dubya's goal.

I see her point concerning God too but I liked the references even if only for the unchristian reason it upset the atheists.

Yeah, Me too. Her stock went down a little on my ledger.
