Here is the face of the Donkey Party.

Why does Sarah Palin continue to receive so much media coverage? Peggy Noonan has a theory. The Wall Street Journal columnist believes the MSM is up to what she considers "mischief": attempting to make Sarah Palin the face of the Republican party.
Noonan propounded her premise during an appearance today on Morning Joe.

With Gov Palin we'll have a 'face' of integrity, decency and one committed to genuine conservatism, instead of the other options that are of the 'two-sided' variety.
Here is the face of the Donkey Party.
Youre right, I forgot about the previous few days.
Strange that she, Parker, Will, Brooks and the other true “fringe” people on the conservative side can’t get over condescending to the one candidate on the GOP side who could and will continue to attract huge crowds and financial support (I raised a ton of money for McCain and I wouldn’t have given him a cent without her on the ticket). Peggy Noonan has to have someone to be condescending to because if you read her columns closely, she says absolutely nothing that makes the slightest sense. Just a lot of airy maxims from an author who is not overly bright but who needs to convince her real audience (the West Side liberals who will invite her to their cocktail parties so she can say snippy things about Palin) that she is a “deep thinker”. Her columns are frankly, terrible, and I could not put it more succinctly than a commenter here who said “she writes like she is constantly trying to balance a plate on the top of her head”.
You didn't mention how horrible she was during her interviews, even with Hannity. I think those were abberations, due to her not being fully up to speed on the national issues, and her handlers scripting her too much, causing her to have to try to remember what to say instead of just saying it. I also think you're overstating her going to war with Russia if it invades Georgia.
None this means that Palin is hands down the candidate for 2012, as we have Jindal and Daniels, among others, to consider. But get off the "Palin is a disaster for the party" bandwagon. The media isn't going after her this hard if she wasn't a viable threat, and there is an elitist snot aspect to our party that is rejecting her for reasons which the rest of us find endearing and connecting.
Did anyone notice that Noonan refers to her as “Mrs Palin” instead of Governor Palin?
Noonan should be Barracks sect’y....
Peg o’our heart, we loved ya,
But now we must part,we’ve scrubbed ya
We always knew, ya had’nt a clew..
With those sappy prose yer gushin’
Peggo dear it’s you we’re flushin’
Peg o our heart bye bye!
Noonan is so over. She reminds me of that Norma Desmond character in “Sunset Boulevard”. Pathetic has-been.
And mischievious Noonan has tried to make us think she’s a conservative.
She never said that. She demonstrated what our obligation would be under article 5 of NATO if Georgia was a NATO member.
Yeah I would like to know what these anti Palin Conservatives really are up to....Rooooseveltian Repubs or Liberals in the wrong party? These R’s just donot fathom that ‘My friend McCain’ was washed up long before they assisted his nomination! The McDole Wing of the party no doubt.
Have to wonder if ole Peggy had an abortion.
Her venom is way over the top.
Peggy Noonan is jealous!
Who or what is a “Noonan?” Wasn’t that the name of the character played by Michael O’Keefe in “Caddyshack?”
She can sit in one of their Leftie Tea and Sandwich shops and read her Beat Poetry! ;o)
McCain and Obama did EXACTLY the same thing, i.e., “did little more than repeat ... applause lines over and over again on the campaign trail”. Why criticize Sarah for it but not the others?
With the current technology, and instant news, it’s going to happen. Candidates sometimes speak at four venues a day, and they can’t come up with a brand new speech every four hours. It’s not like whistle-stop speeches from the back of a train where the audience hasn’t heard what was said at the last town. Give her a break.
I am in Howard County=HC. Was republican 15 years ago, now liberal with moderate/liberal republican pockets .I call them the “I just dont want my tax money going to lazy ...s “, republicans, hot for McCain, scared of Obama. Liked Powell in 2000. Otherwise they believe in taxes and government services.
HC (majority democrats) voted for Kerry in 2004, very high incomes, love government with ‘smart’ guy like them=Kerry or Obama in charge. They have multiple degrees , worship government, work on fed government contracts or fed workers with high pay (very high pay.) And see Palin as a threat to country like we see Obama is with socialism/anti-Christian. They see her supporters as dumb uneducated hicks.
HC Mommy state government, Now putting up speeding cameras to collect more money, huge fines for underage drinking . But illegals are allowed to get drivers licences.
