This Is No Ordinary Scandal
WSJ.com ^ | May 17,2013 | Peggy Noonan

Posted on 05/17/2013 3:27:17 AM PDT by Biggirl

We are in the midst of the worst Washington scandal since Watergate. The reputation of the Obama White House has, among conservatives, gone from sketchy to sinister, and, among liberals, from unsatisfying to dangerous. No one likes what they're seeing.

You know seeing a post with Hillary between two other posts claiming “no clothes” is not a savory thought.

Yeah. The WSJ editorial page isn't what it used to be.

My daughter won a 6-month free subscription to the Journal last year. In six months, I read more than the headlines, just three times.

Amazing how she is picking up on “the Limbaugh Theory” without mentioning it.

Look! There’s a new American idol.

I suspect people’s attention will wander in 3,...2,....1......

Not unlike here, in CT with the Donovan/Soucy scandal unraveling..... Look! It’s the UPS truck!

An “American Idol” which is losing more in the ratings and will go down further now that Randy Jackson has left. Even the “Voice” has been doing much, much better.

He's making progress. He's on one of the satellite providers, and he is now on Cablevision, which serves NYC. That's a pretty big deal.

So he's on his way. When he gets on cable, I'll be watching The Blaze at least as much as Fox.

I knew this was the path that Glenn would take when he left Fox. I'm surprised that Fox didn't figure it out, and try to keep Glenn from leaving.

you'd never in a million years suggest Peggy Noonan

She was very good in this one for a while. But in the end, she rolled right over and showed her belly, hoping her liberal cocktail party friends will still rub it.

"And it would be shameful and shallow for any Republican operative or operator to make this scandal into a commercial and turn it into a mere partisan arguing point and part of the game..."

We mustn't growl or appear hostile in any way.

Liberals don't give a rip about any of this, except as a threat to their chances in the next election. Does Peggy actually think that the true believers in the power of the Federal Government to do good disapprove of using the power of the Federal Government to (in their warped point of view) do good by destroying their enemies?

What a naive waif.

Leftists want to see if Obama can get away with it, and then they can try something even worse.
