In my opinion, Peggy Noonan was a trust advisor during the Reagan administration and she's not in the Bush administration. She's became bitter because she didn't regain her position and has continued to get more bitter.

This may very well be, and it's sad. Peggy still writes beautifully - uses imagery better than anyone, but she is hard pressed to be kind to George W. Bush these days. I still enjoy her writing, and thought "A Heart, A Cross and A Flag" was outstanding and of course, "When Character Was King" is a moving story of Ronald Reagan. But she can't get PAST Ronald Reagan and her part in his administration. Perhaps she thinks she made the difference there and doesn't see how this President an do it without her.
Or maybe these are her true feelings. She has always been a political junkie and I can see how that kind of person would love the twists and turns of the Clintons, becoming yet again another persona to woo the crowd. Not love the Clintons, but their political role playing.
