Peggy Noonan should be looked on for what she has become.
Like the aging and fragile Nancy Reagan now being manipulated by her son Ronnie Jr. into saying she “likes” Obama, Nancy Noonan has become a puppet of the elite and fragile in her need for their approval.
She is always talking about “the train going off the rails” and “the dark world swirling”. I think she is on prescription drugs when she writes half her stuff. The WSJ should look in Alaska for a replacement of this time worn and now trite “deep” thinker. Sarah Palin’s former press secretary looked sounded really cute and fresh and absolutely intelligent and on the mark on Fox News the other day. Let her write a column and then we’ll see how “poetic Peggy” has become “Old Time Rose” or more like “Tokoyo Rose” bought to you by the elitist and out of touch WSJ.
I think Noonan is flummoxed by grass roots conservatism. She is jealous of Palin perhaps. I used to like Noonan, but I think you are correct. Her aging ego needs the medicine of approval.
