Wait a minute, Peggy...according to you, we're not SUPPOSED to have big dreams and plans.
This was the George Bush I've known all along.

The title "Normal Service Resumes" might better apply to Peggy herself.
Welcome back, Ms. Noonan, we missed you, and don't you dare let Paul Krugman guestwrite another column.

"according to you, we're not SUPPOSED to have big dreams and plans."
Ah yes, a postive article from Noonan followed by negative commentary. Surprise, surprise.

...uh...did you not read her Inaugural column. She said Bush's goals were unreasonable and out-of-reach.
THAT was the basis of my comment. Read the column.

(Let's Tell Peggy What We Think) About what?
Peggy is very supportive of the President and his programs in this piece.
Whatever it was that upset her about the inaugural address has past. She's moved on; perhaps we should, too.

Quote:
In the foreign-policy section the president was markedly modest in tone.
This was gentle but pointed, more specific and less messianic, than the recent inaugural--and therefore less open to misinterpretation. It was more finely calibrated, which is to say it was calibrated.
Peggy is a one-note samba any speech which is not 'gentle', that is, squishy and full of syrupy verbage, is sub-par in here book.
Her columns are getting so rambling and pointless that it's increasingly tough to take them seriously.

Peggy just figured out which way the wind was blowing.

It was more finely calibrated, which is to say it was calibrated. She's talking about her meds dosage.
I have her The Case Against Hillary Clinton, Regan Books, 2000.
It doesn't need footnotes as she wrote it entirely with her feet.

And she beat the president over the head,yet again,over that "MESSIANIC" speech in this article. So much for Peggy being returned to the fold.Once a hack,always a hack.
To: okie01
Did you read the entire article? It doesn't look like it,from your reply.
