Maybe she feels snubbed by the Bush admin...who knows, but she needs to get it together.
The ACLU must have dropped a load into its pants after hearing President Bush's address yesterday... and Michael Newdow's glass jaw dropped off his mugly face.
I don't think anyone ought to get their knickers iin a know because Peg didn't like the speech. I understood her point and while disagreeing with it, this was not a malicious review nor was it extreme. She has a point and any of the "realists" might agree with her. This was an idealistic speech and I am surprised so many are taking it concretely. I don't think GWB promised to extend freedom in the next four years and make a utopia. I think he was thinking long range and as a posture rather than an action. But that is just me, I interpreted it in a nuanced way. But Peggy didn't. Otherwise she loves GWB just like us.
I respect Peggy Noonan's opinion as she has far more experience in speech preparation than most people. She is deserves to be heard. Maybe George Bush ought to consider hiring Noonan as an advisor regarding his next outing?
