I've always expected Noonan to write intellectually honest columns, but lately, she seems more intent upon praising, or ignoring, the acts of the left, and she demeans President Bush at every opportunity. I did not have the same impression of the funeral as she did. I thought we had a right to express our opinions in this forum. I do not mind being disagreed with; but it does not have to be in an insulting manner such as he did.
