I sometimes enjoyed her criticisms of Bill Clinton, but I never liked her flowery, overly wordy style of writing.

Check this out:

I first saw President Reagan as a foot, highly polished brown cordovan wagging merrily on a hassock. I spied it through the door. It was a beautiful foot, sleek. Such casual elegance and clean lines! But not a big foot, not formidable, maybe a little ...frail. I imagined cradling it in my arms, protecting it from unsmooth roads. -- Peggy Noonan

Gag!! If Nancy had known Noonan felt that way, she would have kicked her out of the WH.

Oh my gosh. Peggy has done some splendid work but having ~all~ of one's words preserved surely does have its downside.

Yeah, that’s exactly what drives me crazy about Noonan’s writing. Her flowery style might make good reading for the garden club news letter, but as a political writer, she’s ridiculous.
