Chris Wallace doubts Noonan's conservatism

I know some of you still cannot get over your crush on Peggy because she worked for Reagan 30 years ago.

Too bad she has totally betrayed everything Reagan stood for since

[FredZarguna]

Too right.

Noonan's speechwriting for Reagan was an example of "automatic writing." The words were nice, but she had no actual connection to the content thereof.

National Review's savage review of her What I Saw at The Revolution said it best. "How is it possible a person could have written the things she has, and have so little apparent understanding of what they meant?"

In recent years, the disconnection between her mind and the typewriter have become increasingly apparent, and her columns verge on the unhinged.

Noonan, if I remember correctly, called The Divine Sarah “vulgar.” What a jealous cat!

[Deb]

It wasn’t pretty.

[Little Ray]

I don’t think of Kristol or the rest as conservatives, either. When I think “conservative” I’m thinking Thomas Sowell, or others equally solid (but less talented) than him.
And being a ‘Pubbie doesn’t make you a conservative, as various Congresscritters and other elected officials have amply demonstrated to us.

This uppity beotch called my girl Sarah a ‘nincompoop’ a few years ago. I’ve been done with her long ago!

It is most definitely time for an oldie, but classic Iowahawk Van Vorhees column (with the Dame Peggy reference) ...

It's that easy-going, almost effortless grace that has all the A-list conservatives like David Frum and Kathleen Parker whispering Reaganesque in hushed tones. Even Peggy Noonan -- the Grand Dame of Gipperism -- has succumbed to Obama's undeniable conservative charms. Just last month I listened to her wax poetic about the Adonis of Chicago between chukkers at the Newport Club polo tournament final. "Why Peggy, you old dowager," I quipped, "I believe you just had an orgasm."

[Servant of the Cross]

You ALWAYS have a way of getting to the heart of the matter!

p.s. please note the classic Iowahawk column from 2008 at post 48. Hilarious!

[Standing Wolf]

If she’s a conservative, I’m the best-looking and richest guy in Colorado. In simple terms: she’s at best a RINO and probably a Democratic [sic] party voter.

[fortheDeclaration]

She also never based a Democrat.

[Graewoulf]

If Peggy Noonan is a “Conservative,” then what is she trying to conserve?

[FR_addict]

Reagan got his message across long before Noonan came onto the scene. She may have helped write some of his speeches, but now I bet her words are the ones Reagan crossed out and substituted his own.

[txrefugee]

Duh....she voted for the Marxist in’08. What tipped you off, Chris?

[Deb]

Good one.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Chris is smarter than he looks.

[CatherineofAragon]

I remember Noonan’s appearances on “Hannity and Colmes.” She would sit between the two of them, tossing her hair, batting her eyes, desperately trying to behave like a cheerleader instead of the pathetic, long-in-the-tooth old broad she was. It was cringeworthy to watch.

[eddie willers]

Deb just won the thread.

She's held the title for fourteen years.
