my problem with Noonan's column is that it was at odds with her own flowery praise in the moments after President Bush delivered the speech ... if anyone has the Fox coverage on tape, maybe they can explain the difference? Maybe she can?
i saw her on Fox immediately afterwards and i agree, the stark contrast in her appraisal is startling. either she was disingenuously praising it at the time it was given, which reeks of being a phoney, or she had some input from someone somewhere afterwards that totally turned her against it. and that is just odd.
Exactly, she was using words of praise for both President Bush and the speech. I remember her appearance on Hannity and Colmes on inauguration night as President Bush made the rounds at the balls.
