Alabama has its back up, or at least its Republicans and conservatives do, and it’s understandable. They don’t like when Northerners and liberals and people in Washington tell them who their senator should be. They don’t like when reporters from outside come down and ask questions and turn over rocks looking for what’s crawling on the underside. There’s always an underside. Man is made from crooked timber.
People from the Deep South feel culturally patronized. This is because they are. Reporters from outside don’t admire or relate to them; when a Washington Post journalist presented as fact, in a 1993 news report, that evangelical Christians are “largely poor, uneducated and easy to command,” you know he was thinking of Southern evangelicals. Hollywood has long cast Southerners as witless and brutish in films from “Inherit the Wind” to “Deliverance” and “Mississippi Burning.”
Politically, Southern conservatives have long decried a double standard. Ted Kennedy spent much of his life as a somewhat inebriated roué whose actions caused the death of a young woman, but now we’re instructed to call him the Lion of the Senate. Bill Clinton was worse than Roy Moore. Mr. Clinton was accused of rape, harassment and exposing himself, but his party backed him and he kept the presidency. Democratic Sen. Al Franken was credibly accused Thursday, by an anchor at KABC radio in Los Angeles, of groping and harassing her on a USO tour in 2006. When she resisted him, Leeann Tweeden wrote, “Franken repaid me with petty insults,” and took an obscene photo of her on the way home, as she slept. Will the liberal media dig into Mr. Franken as they have dug into Mr. Moore? Or is he too good a source and friend?

Wishful thinking
And since the WSJ website has a paywall, it's very unlikely that many Alabama women will ever read what Peggy has written, except for the first 2 or 3 paragraphs. This would have been more appropriately titled, "Dear Diary....."
“BHussein lovin’ crone”
Crone is a great word for peggy.
Peggy is an establishment Republican and part of the swamp.
Anyone wanting Doug Jones to win should find another place to post.
Noonan is trash.
The long knives are out, and the final push to demonize Moore and publish any twisted logic story they can come up with, is in full speed ahead mode.
I think Moore is going to shock these folks.
Once the sources of those complaints have been examined to have strong political motives and possible payola involved, said charges go from being merely highly suspect to smelling a lot like bovine patties
I’ll be happy to trash her. Physically if I ever get the chance.

“Noonan is trash.”
She was a Never-Trumper from the get go.
She was a Bush family supporter from HW (read my lips) onward...and the soft side/domestic voice of Neocons.
“It’s behind a pay wall, I don’t know where she is going with this.”
Not to worry! If I recall correctly, she’s a BOOSHIE! In any event, she’s a never-Trumper!
Peggy Noonsan always goes wobbly at the first sign of trouble. She never stands firm on principle.
More than happy to oblige you Mariner: Noonan has not been worth hearing or reading for a very long time
This whole mass hysteria regarding “sexual assaults” is proof of why the 19th should be repealed. Either women are unable to take care of themselves, and thus need to be protected by being kept in the home, or they can take care of themselves and obviously choose to create this sort of drama when it suits them, in which case they should be kept at home to avoid their inherent disruption. Apologies to all of the smart, decent Freeperettes but I imagine you are aware of this reality even more keenly than men are.
>>Shut up Peggy you dried up old prune liberal wacko living behind a stone wall with guards elitist establishment used up no good nothing left cocktail hour loser. Thanks for posting I do feel better indeed.<<
I guess we can all surmise upon reading your post that you don’t care much for Peggy!
