Peggy Peggy Peggy . . .
Whatever happened to you?
Get a load of who is piling on now.
She's trying to out think herself.
Took the words right outta mah mouf.
Peggy is evidently unaware of the history of sitting Vice Presidents being elected President. Prior to her boss, George H.W. Bush, do you suppose she knows who the last sitting Vice President to be elected President was?
It was...............................Martin Van Buren.
Peggy Noonan is a fine speechwriter.
Political advisor?...Not so much.
She needs to marry and get laid on a regular basis. She's going nuts.
The establishment right is an odious, disloyal cast of bores who love to hear themselves talk.
Whats the difference between a plum and a prune?
Her claptrap about the Coretta King funeral, now this.
She calls Cheney a "hate magnet" .............. a magnet attracts. Dick Cheney does not attract or pull in hate, hate is thrown at him, G.W., and Republicans in general.
Peggy Noonan is now a rotten, weak thinker.
I used to have a decent amount of respect for him. I considered him a rather pleasant guy. But ........ the last two nights he has boisterously told his audience and the viewing public that Dick Cheney shot Mr. Whittington in the face because he was tired of Mr. Whittington making jokes about his lesbian daughter.
I had never heard anything so vile as that, and it was from a guy who I had thought was somewhat of a gentleman. This was much worse than Kerry awkwardly trying to slip the "lesbian daughter" thing in at the Presidential debate.
Benefits: Dubya could in effect appoint a likely successor, and he's specifically mentioned that he'd like to see Condi in the White house. In fact, a scenario like this is probably the only way that Condi Rice would or could be persuaded and positioned to run in '08. Second, it would help pull the plug on McCain's hopes (however faint) that he could be the nominee. I do not trust that man's judgement or sanity but he might (by early '08) persuade enough Republican voters that he's the "only hope" to beat Clinton II to have a shot in the primaries.
Looks like she's just gone native. It happens to the best of them sometimes. I gather she's not writing speeches for anyone anymore, so she probably has way too much time on her hands. Maybe she should take a break--go to NOLA and help clean up or something.
She was snubbed by the present republican administration in the WH. She appears to have never gotten over it.
I'll tell you what happened to Peggy Noonan. She volunteered her speech writing services to Bush for the 2004 campaign and got turned down, cold. Never mind that her wordy, flowery style would be a terrible fit for Bush's down home manner of speaking, she's been in a snit, ever since.
