I thought it was a good speech, too, but Noonan's article about it in today's Wall Street Journal was downright nasty.
She's downright vicious in her criticism of the speech.
Noonan fancies herself the best speechwriter of all time. She wanted to write for Pres. Bush so badly she could taste it, but Bush prefers Karen Hughes and others to Peggy. Maybe he likes straight talk rather than nuance. In any case, Noonan's petty reaction to a fine inaugural address is just sour grapes. Now, we know which side she's been on all the while--her own. Poor little girl needs to grow up.
