Noonan: ‘You Are Terrifying Us’

WSJ ^ | 8/7/2009 | Peggy Noonan

[Old Sarge]

Noonan, Noonan, where does that name come from...

Oh yes, some ageing harridan from the Upper East Side trying to stay relevant.

[Doogle]

They had no idea how people were feeling...

yo Peg,their in for a real shocker come 2010, and beyond. You better brush up on your favorite recipes...pull a Biden and publish some cook book, because that's the only thing people might read if they make some sort of mistake

[Zakeet]

“Hillary’s revenge”

Yep. That's pretty bad, all right.

I know because I got that once when I went to Mexico and accidentally drank the water.

[tacticalogic]

They believed their own lies.

[albie]

“A little buyer’s remorse, Peggy? I will never forgive her for supporting Zero”.

...neither will Reagan.

[tacticalogic]

They believed their own lies.

[Friendofgeorge]

She hates Sarah Palin! There is nothing Noonan could say that would make me listen to her, outside of a public apology to Sarah.

[McGruff]

Mr. Obama responded by talking about his health-care vision. He won. Now he would push what he had been forced to highlight: Health care would be a priority initiative. The net result is falling support for his leadership on the issue, falling personal polls, and the angry town-hall meetings that have electrified YouTube.

Sounds like Peggy is going to cry for her Messiah here.

[Red Boots]

Apparently Noonan is trying to wake up from her hypnosis

My subtitle:

Peggy Noonan wakes up and smells the coffee !

[Hacklehead]

Even an idiot is right occasionally.

[Friendofgeorge]

the term “6 feet under comes to mind” when I hear the name Noonan, not sure why?

[Neverforget01]

The reason representatives are shocked Peggy, is because they've been listening to the likes of “Tingles” and you! The statist media is in for a very rude awakening. It is no longer in control.

[Guenevere]

Peggy finally gets one right...and when she's right, she spot on!

They are terrifying ME!....the union & administration thugs are terrifying me ....I think they know no bounds, and we're on the edge of a powder keg!

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Obama had racked up big wins—the stimulus, children’s health insurance, House approval of cap-and-trade...

These socialistic disasters are only "big wins" to eastern elitists like Ms Noonan.

[television is just wrong]

“They had no idea how people were feeling...”
“yo Peg,their in for a real shocker come 2010, and beyond. You better brush up on your favorite recipes...pull a Biden and publish some cook book, because that’s the only thing people might read if they make some sort of mistake”

I’d have to have a pretty big brain fart to forget what she’s been writing for a long time. A long time ago, she was relevant, til the koolaid came along.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

Thanks, Peggy. Don’t forget: You did this. Never forget that.

[Miss Didi]

Even Lanny Davis is not on board with Barry’s Deathcare...he told the Friends he needs more info on the public option and is not supporting it yet.

[Moonmad27]

A good summary - bump for sharing later.

[SE Mom]

Peggy, Peggy, Peggy. The qualities you’re describing are ones that thousands, even millions of us saw LAST YEAR. Barack Obama is a clear and present danger to the republic.

While you, Kathleen Parker and others were obssessed with electing the first black president, the rest of us were obssessed with “the content of his character”.

Now perhaps you can see why..

[DustyMoment]

They overinterpreted the meaning of the 2008 election

It has become commonplace in this country for the winning political party to declare that they won by a landslide and received a "mandate" from the people.

Obama won a squeaker from McCain and did NOT get a "mandate" for his radical agenda from the voters. His inexperience in . . . . . . . EVERYTHING has lead him to believe the hyperbole and false publicity about himself and he is becoming his own poster for why inexperienced people should NEVER, EVER, EVER be elected to the office of president, nor should they even be allowed to run.

Re: Noonan - apparently she's been off her meds for awhile and just started back on them. Her columns and opinions over the past year or so have been way off the mark. Hopefully, she'll return to being the sharp conservative columnist that we knew her as.
