What’s more, there is absolutely no point to Noonan’s column. It serves no purpose. Does she think McCain will “see the light” and dump Palin? (Sure, that’ll happen.) The only rational conclusion one can reach is that Noonan is a shrew, and shame on the Wall Street Journal for giving her a venue for her childish pouting.
What struck me about was it was its lazy editing. She spends one-third of the column taking swipes at other candidates before finally zeroing on the headline topic of the piece.
I get the sense she threw this all together at the last minute off the top of her head to meet the terms of her contract and WSJ just printed it.
It helps Obama. That is the purpose.
