I think George Will and Peggy Noonan need to stop putting pen to paper.

George Will has been nothing short of unimpressive for many years. He bores me to tears, and his intelectualism does not translate to common sense.

While I was reading Will's quotes, I was thinking it's almost like he has these phrases roaming around in his mind and he tries to put a story around them.

Very sad.

Will is a rabid Cubs fan. What more proof does one need that he lacks good judgement?

McCarthy shreads EVERY facet of Will's contentions!

Add Cal Thomas to that list. We need some new voices.

Will is not a Bush fan, that's OK. But he shoots blanks more often than not.

LOL. Proof positive.

Never forget that George Will thinks we are all "under taxed." I no longer take Will seriously. About half the time he's completely off base.

I used to like Will before I heard his opinion on gun control. He's starting to remind me of David Gergen.

David Gergen is a rank idiot.

Andrew C. McCarthy writes excellent, factual articles.

I am glad he decided to write this one, blowing George Will's accusations out of the water completely.

Will is one of the libs' favorite conservatives. Tells you all you need to know about the egghead...

I don't know if you want to read variants of things you wrote on, but here is one from NRO.

Will should stick to poetic references to "baseball matches."

Agreed, and I would accept any thing Andrew McCarthy writes over G Will any day. He has been against the invasion of Iraq from the beginning.

And for all Will's bombast about the Constitution's plain language and structure, it is difficult to imagine anything that would have been more startling to those who crafted our fundamental law than the suggestion that the president of the United States needs a federal judge's permission to intercept the international communications of a wartime enemy that seeks, above all else, to mount a massive attack against the homeland.

Thwack!

He spent too many years with Sam and Cokie I'm afraid.

We sure. When people sitting at home can shred most of these articles, it's time to look around.
