Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about things, and small people talk about people.

Gee, iconoclast, I think that's what you've just done here..........a whole bunch of times.

And about that 'cardinal sin' discussion and your question about it. The exhausted one flung out the term in her attempt to put down a whole bunch of people who disagreed with Noonan.

My guess is that the 'cardinal sin' she's referring to is criticizing the President. Hard to tell for sure.

But when I questioned her use of the term, she sent me to a link explaining what the cardinal sins are. I thought that was a both funny and a touch bizarre. (If I didn't already know what cardinal sin meant, I wouldn't have trouble with her blatant misuse of the term to belittle others).

That's about it.

My guess is that the 'cardinal sin' she's referring to is criticizing the President. Hard to tell for sure.

And I think she meant to say that Noonan had violated the "Eleventh Commandment", often quoted by Reagan, actually postulated by California Party Chairman Gaylord Parkinson, "Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican".

You actually dispute my insinuation that the bulk of this thread (typically) is made up of time wasting flames of Noonan rather than critiques of her comments?

Prozac time?
