Pot Meet Kettle. A blowhard with BDS, writing about a Judas blowhard. One upset at GW for letting him go, one upset at GW for not hiring her as a speech writer. Both leave a bad taste and should be spit, not swallowed.

It’s the seriousness of the charge that matters. Duh!

Listen Republicans. And understand.

That the Islamic Cults, the UnAmerican Democrat Party, Pelosi and Hussein Obama, are out there. They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop, ever, until we are dead

But Is It True?

Both in her writings and in her television appearances, Peggy Noonan comes off as someone who chooses her words with great care and deliberation. Were she a deep thinker, one would be impressed.

Peggy peaked in the 80s.

Nowadays she apparently gets paid by the word.

Ok, 1st the usual suspects whine hysterically for years because Bush DOESN'T fight back. NOW the White House is fighting back and the same collection of senile old Dincons is whining hysterical because Bush is fighting back!

Past time the pseudo Conservative talking head retired like Noonan, Buchannan and Wills, they have lost all intellectual credibility with their perpetual pouting.

Look up “vapid” in your Funk and Wagnell’s and you’ll find “Peggy Noonan.” This poor woman is a legend in her own mind.

WELL SAID!!

If I was to say what I really think of Noonan, I would be banned.

Peggy Noonan: her one lifetime accomplishment was to have been a speech writer for President Reagan.
Never held office herself, never accomplished anything on her own.

As she fades farther and farther from relevance, she tries ever more desperately to draw attention to herself.

Leave him alone. He wrote a book. It is true or untrue, accurately reported or not. If not, this will no doubt be revealed.



If you want the truth "revealed" you can't exactly "leave him alone."

In determining whether “it is true”, the first burden should be on the author of the book, not the people who are skeptical about the book. If McClellan has facts, let him show the facts. Don’t draw conclusions out of things like McClellan being excluded from a conversation between Rove and Libby.

Although Noonan hasn't had any love for the Bushes ever since it became obvious to her that both father and son had sold out the conservative movement, she's always been a straight shooter, able to distinguish between conservatives and those who masquerade as conservatives, especially Bush/Rockefeller/country club Republicans.

On this Noonan is right: The book is written. Judge it on the merits of the evidence, not on whether or not you think MacClellan is a traitor.

Moreover, if it's necessary to hang Bush out to save conservatism, so be it. And, save your tears for someone who actually deserves them. He was perfectly willing to hang out conservatives to advance his fortunes. If the shoes now on the other foot, that's just how the game is played.
