Oh...I thought they were quoting Ted Kennedy at Chappaquiddick.

[G.Mason]

" ... If you believe, as he does, that the No. 1 priority for the American government at this point in history is to lead an international movement for political democracy, and if you believe, as he truly seems to, that political democracy is in and of itself a certain bringer of world-wide peace, than this speech was for you."

It is, and I do.

May I be excused now? I peeked below and saw a reference to Hillary's face.

Being as I just ate ... Well, you understand.

Why does Peggy Noonan have such a hatred for President Bush? She sounds like a Democrat whenever she writes about him.

Peggy Noonan is no longer required reading.

[Bahbah]

Peggy longs for the days when she was a young hottie and important, at least in her own mind.

[plain talk]

It was a high level visionary speech and extremely well-delivered. Quite a contrast to the Clinton tactical bean-counter speeches.

[RockinRight]

Sorry Peggy, you're wrong on this one. While Bush's speech wasn't exactly oratory perfection, I thought it made the point well. And I didn't get the impression it was "pre 9/11" at all.

[RexBeach]

Good one from Peggy.

I especially like her Comments about Tom Shales of "The Washington Post." Mr. Shales, while a very clever writer and critic, is one of the biggest snobs in the nation. He looks down his nose at most of America, from both sides of the political aisle. But I'll bet he's got a George Bush doll on his desk that he sticks pins in on a regular basis.

As for Senator Clinton, Ms. Noonan points out what most Americans know already: The junior senator from New York is an unfeeling, calculating, intellectual cypher who thinks she knows everything, but truly stands for nothing.

Then there are the Democrats. They are the most superb complainers in the land, but have not had an original idea since the 1930s. Most of those, in retrospect, turned out to be dreadful, and still harness the nation to a panoply of entitlement programs that threaten to bankrupt us.

As for myself, well, I'm gonna have another cup of coffee.

[GOPJ]

It seemed a metaphor for the Democratic Party: We don't know where to stand or what to stand for, and in fact we're not good at standing for anything anyway, but at least we know we can't stand Republicans.

Peggy "gets" the dems...

[johnny7]

Peggy's probably referring to this pic...

[Mulch]

She's correct about Bush (1 & 2) and Clinton. Is it the "Friends close-Enemies Closer" philosophy that causes Bush to gush over Clinton or does he really respect him.

[Peach]

I loved the speech, particularly the national security portion. It struck just the right tone and Peggy sounds like she's just a ticked off wanna-be speech writer upset that the president didn't consult with her.

[poncho67]

Peggy Noonan is one of the most articulate and brilliant writers ever. The most salient point of this article is this: "How will a sane, stable, serious Democrat get the nomination in 2008 when these are the activists to whom the appeal must be made? Republicans have crazies. All parties do. But in the case of the Democrats--the leader of their party, after all, is the unhinged Howard Dean--the lunatics seem increasingly to be taking over the long-term health-care facility. Great parties die this way, or show that they are dying." The news on another post this morning was about the feud between Howard Dean and Harry Reid......THAT was just HILARIOUS! And that is proof enough for me that they are imploding and I haven't enjoyed anything so much since, well, Dan Rather's implosion. It can't GET any better than THIS.......CAN IT???

[sauropod]

Tom Shales is excrable. He is a heaping, steaming pile of male bovine fecal effluvia. He is a pus-filled boil on the Butt of Humanity.

He is in a league with Michael Olesker.

[GOPJ]

The venom is bubbling on websites like Kos, where Tuesday afternoon, after the Alito vote, various leftists wrote in such comments as "F--- our democratic leaders," "Vichy Democrats" and "F--- Mary Landrieu, I hope she drowns." The old union lunch-pail Democrats are dead, the intellects of the Kennedy and Johnson era retired or gone, and this--I hope she drowns--seems, increasingly, to be the authentic voice of the Democratic base.

Dems are showing themselves for what they really are... and it's ugly.

[F16Fighter]

When the president joked that two people his father loves are turning 60 this year, himself and Bill Clinton--why does he think constant references to that relationship work for him?

The answer to Peggy's question transcends "bizarre."
