"I don't think she's jealous as others have speculated. I think she's giving her honest opinion, which just happens to be wrong. I am willing to be that she may have thought that Reagan line was grating at the time because, as is her problem here, she did not think it was an attainable goal."
The interesting thing here, her writing is completely opposite of her "LIVE" response right after the speech, however, she did say she needed to 'think about it'.
I saw her LIVE response and even posted on it.
She didn't say much but that she had to chew on it and then after the rest of the Fox panel; Bill Kristol, Mort Kondracke and Fred Barnes commented, she added in the "God-drenched" comment.
I did not discern she had disliked the speech at the time. I thought she said she was stunned. Evidently she was "stunned" by the "over the top" aspect she perceives.
Oh, and for the record, the comments from the rest of the Fox panel:
Bill Kristol: One of the greatest speeches given by an American President ever.
Mort Kondracke: "Breathtaking" and hubristic but not in a bad way. He said if the President can lay the foundation for this vision he will be one of the greatest presidents. Last night I happened to hear him expound that it reminded him of Babe Ruth pointing out where he'd hit the homerun and then did. He said if Ruth hadn't made the promised hit he would have been derided as a blowhard but the fulfillment of delivering on his promise made him great.
Fred Barnes: "Dazzling"
