I've already posted my defense of Noonan in the last explosive thread. Not going to waste my breath on the ignorant.
Powerline summed it up best: "If our tent isn't large enough to hold Noonan, then we're in trouble"
Interesting thinking on the part of Powerline. I'd like to follow their train of thought a little bit....
When Peggy is halfway out the left flap of the tent, can we finally assume she is running for public office or for some job that is usually held by liberals?
If she rolls out of the GOP fold, I won't shed a tear. I didn't cry in my beer with Jumpin' Jim defected, nor did I wallow in misery when Arianna Huffington defected into stupidity literally and figuratively.
People come, people go. There is no need to eulogize, or feel sorry, or think the world is going to come to a screeching end over those who have left for one reason or another. That's the nature of politics.
If Peggy is sprinting for the tent exit, we should not hold her in.
You're right. But the size of our tent is irrelevant. She's still wrong.
