So true.
I'm about the post a new flashmovie about missus clinton's memoir. (part 2 of the inadvertent hillary-and-Jane-show disclosures) Hope to have it up later today. Will ping you.
Excellent, YY.
No 'bimbo eruptions' from dead women, so I can almost understand the fascination. It would certainly make missus clinton's life easier.

<< I will preface this by saying that Peggy Noonan is not my cup of tea. Her writing leaves a cloyingly sweet aftertaste. (Her speaking, too) Worse, it is too often metaphor in search of a thought.
That said, I thought her analysis of Coretta Scott King's funeral provided an interesting and coherent -- if disputable -- point of view.
That is, until I came to this jumbled mess: (Noonan is in blue) ..... >>
Wow.
We really do share the same DNA.
Another Home Run.
Noonan spends way too much time in front of a mirror already and her every other spare minute angling to reflect the glow she imagines eminating from other dullards' celebrity.

Ronald Reagan would've disagreed.
I agree with RR. There is a place for Peggy. Dubya, for all his tough Texas talk, loves a beautifully turned phrase. His top speechwriter--his name escapes me-- is sometimes rather Noonanesque: He writes beautiful stuff.
<< I am going to be very blunt. I have never understood a single thing .... >>
That's not blunt. It's but a statement of the obvious.
If it consoles you, though, neither has either Cli'toon, nor Noonan, nor Al-Fredo Gore-leone, ever understood Mia.
And nor has John McCain.
Nor any other congenital dullard.
thx brian :)
Should Andy J. respond as intelligently and cogently as Peggy's critics? ---
And FWIW, Peggy's been nothing but a simpering hack, for many long years now. I used to get terrible flack, when I said that here, but perhaps, now, more people will wake up and she her for who and what she is; not what they want her to be. - nopardons
Noonan!!! Shut the F Up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Doc Savage
I'd be willing to call her hotter than hell, if she'd just go there. - kylaka
Get harpu on this thread you all would be overwhelmed with excitement!
An aside: Not one of you, it is quite obvious, understood at all what Peggy N. was saying in this column.
Of course! Miss Noonan should devote her time to ganging up on an innocent 18 yr old girl as you and the other shrews did when LauraLee B. first arrived here.
Peggy Noonan is the polar opposite of you and your ilk.
Meaning: She's intelligent, perceptive, patriotic, pretty, and feminine.
I saw the column as bifurcated. I thought her argument was interesting and coherent--if disputable--up to a point.
When she started waxing romantic about a documented abuser of women, she lost me, jla.
I would love to hear your take on the essay. Ignore what others have said. Tell us what jla thinks. :)
Give me a second or two, I'm putting in a Natalie MacMaster CD ---
...ahh yes, one of my favorites from the fiddlin' virtuosa... Tullochgorum.
Now, what was your question? Oh yes! The Peggy Noonan column:
Our Founders, especially Thomas J, believed vehemently in freedom of expression.
Yes, the practice of such may be at times impolite, out of place, or downright rude. Yet, we have here, in the United States, the solemn right, not a privilege, to do just that.
This is what PN was exultant over. She made it very clear that she did not think the remarks made by the Clinton-duo, Jimmah C., and the most reverend Lowery were to her taste, yet she is ecstatic that she lives in a country where these folks, for voicing dissenting opinions and acting rudely, aren't carried off and shot.
PN referring to Bill Clinton as "the master" is not a term of endearment. (Let's not forget that PN wrote the book The Case Against Hillary Clinton).
Peggy Noonan loves this country the same way RR did, and as I, and a lot of others do.
We sleep well at night, not worrying that some evil Clinton bogeyman lies under the bed.
We sleep sounding, and dream sweet dreams. We do so because we believe in our Founders, we believe in America, and most importantly, we believe in God.
This column by Peggy Noonan was an hymn to America!.
"So what? This was the authentic sound of a vibrant democracy doing its thing. It was the exact opposite of the frightened and prissy attitude that if you draw a picture I don't like, I'll have to kill you." --- Peggy Noonan
"By God, she sounds just like Jefferson!"
THE VIRTUAL HILLARY RATIONALE : My initial objective was to document, expose and indict the clintons with their own words and deeds.
My first character was virtual hillary.
I deliberately made virtual hillary robotic to capture missus clinton's preprogrammed content and flat affect.
My goal was also to capture missus clinton's fraudulence and profound psychological dysfunction, especially her repressed rage.
I do this contrapuntally, that is to say, by sequencing her phony, cloying speeches, e.g., "I could hardly breathe...." or "There's nothing more wonderful than making dreams come true...." with her rageful outbursts, e.g., "I am sick and tired..." or "have a right." Good examples of this technique can be found in the following two pieces below.
This technique may cause clinton's speech to sound like hyperbole, but in my view it is not. It is missus clinton's dysfunction and fraudulence reduced to their essence.
Virtual hillary's words, i.e., hillary clinton words, sound like hyperbole also because hillary clinton makes amazingly stupid statements, statements that border on the surreal.
A recent example: "I keep in my desk drawer a tiny little camera that you can swallow in order to see what is inside you," an amazingly stupid statement coming from someone so infamously small, fraudulent and repressed.
This statement provided not only wonderful audio, but also the context in which to invert (x-ray-ize) the images to see what is actually inside this small, fraudulent and repressed woman.
A camera?!!???
"Mrs. Clinton's first words, in which she referred to Mrs. King's brave decision to continue her husband's work after his murder,..."
Bill had better hope the Missus didn't get any ideas of building her legacy on his demise. These folks really don't have anything original.
Secondly, it is also against FR's posting rules, to initiate a flame war.
Thirdly, I'm not falling for the bait, dear.LOL
Fourthly, for the edification, of those who may be unaware of the poster and her posting history here, I'll explain just why your post is not only patently ridiculous, but also specious.
Hmmmmmmm...let's see, the very first thread LLB ever posted, was a VANITY THREAD posted to NEWS, wherein she asked how anyone could live outside of New York City ( but implying MANHAATAN, which is nuts, since she, herself, lives in QUEENS; supposedly )could make a living, since there were no lawyers, doctors, brokers, or bankers out there in the hinterlands.
She then posted several other vanity threads, ALL POSTED TO NEWS, dealing with absurd, really stupid questions, that any 10 year old would know were silly.
Peggy Noonan is an OLD, bitter, hack, whose style is that of a severely arrested development Catholic school girl. She writes wispy confections, garbled metaphors, and blindingly objectionable slurs about President Bush. At almost sixty, it's long past time that Peggy finally grew up.
Sorry for the belated reply. Just awoke and noticed your post. (As I told you, I've been nursing the flu.)
This is beautiful, jla. And it captures the essence of the compelling part of the Noonan piece.
This part of her essay is precisely the part that I was talking about when I wrote: "I thought her analysis of Coretta Scott King's funeral provided an interesting and coherent--if disputable--point of view." If I made an error here, it is that I understated just how compelling this part of the essay is. Thanks for not allowing that understatement to stand.
I also said this compelling part was "disputable." It is disputable because there is a natural tension between freedom and responsibility, between what is a right and what is right; it is disputable because people were practicing the limits of freedom of expression, often for opportunistic reasons, at the expense of honoring the dead at another family's funeral.
So the part of the essay you discuss so beautifully is indeed compelling; but it is also disputable.
The other part of the essay, the unfathomable part, is the part in which Peggy waxes poetic about a pair of serial abusers of women, a pair of serial abusers of power. That is the part that my essay addresses.
Missus clinton was discussing nanotechnology.
NANO-PRESIDENT
the danger of the unrelenting smallness of bill + hillary clinton
We do? What was that I heard last night under my bed, the resting cats ears perked up before they scampered into the walkin closet.

I do have a lingering fear that, if that dark, dark day should one day arrive that 'The Beast' becomes 'First Thug', she will be able to find out (as with the FBI files) who we all are, all of us who have been poking at her and Billy Jeff over the years. We'll be off to re-education camps...... or worse.
;-)
Or, did you mean the Thomas Jefferson, who engaged a professional dirt digger, teller of tale tales, mud slinger pamphleteer, who wrote lies about his political rivals. Unfortunately for Tom, this self same person, angry as a wet hen, for not getting what he expected, turned the tables on Jefferson...slinging mud all over Tom, by spreading the lie about him and Sally Hemmings, which far too many people, down to today, still believe; erroneously.
