Noonan is the poster child for elitism.

Her speech pattern is nerve-wracking!...not to mention, SNOBBISH!

Somebody needs to take her puter away. She sounds a bit senile.

God bless America!!!

Noonan reminds me with similarities of another ‘previous conservative’ gone to the darker side in latter years...
that is Sandra Day O’Connor. The irony also is that both
have been picked and seved under Ronald Reagan.

Did the WSJ not print GipperGal’s terrific response to Noonan? I was a long time subscriber to WSJ until they finally became insufferable a couple of years ago. I frequently wrote responses and would rarely get them posted. I discovered that the WSJ had several ‘Pet Posters’ that were reliably supportive of the main article or the Left of Center view point to the published article. I wrote the WSJ several times to call them on the BS posters but of course was ignored...Peggy Noonan’s disdain for True Conservatism is part & parcel of what the WSJ editorial board consist of, aka elitist...remember their Open Border and anti-anti-Amnesty stance?
The Fox News is just a bit better than the WSJ but Conservative America does not have much if any MSM support and we need to realize that.

Wow, what a snob. I thought she was the real deal, but, alas, she’s just another MSM tool with a keyboard.

Ciao Peggy

I’m done with Peggy Noonan...her manner was only tolerable because of the content coming out of her mouth. She IS the media elite and her constant picking at Palin is boring.

Peggy Noonan, a dried-up prune faced woman, with permanent bad hair and teeth.

The Republicans have such talent at cannibalizing their own...Noonan & Chrystal are 2 that come to mind. That woman should be put out to pasture, what an old hag!!!!

The change of life has not been kind to Peggy Noonan or Kathleen Parker.

I've lost all respect for Peggy lately. Her elevator can't seem to hit the top floors lately. Sad.

“...she has spent her time throwing out tinny lines to crowds she doesn’t, really, understand...”

Elitist.

Peggy, you couldn’t begin to understand Sarah or her crowds. By the way, NO ONE is buying your CRAP anymore!!! (You and every other effete republican who has violated Reagan’s 11th commandment.)

The pundits don't get it. They think it's either phony populism or politically savvy populism. It's not either. It's just "Main Streeter" Americanism.

Noonan has lost her once-strong connection with that Americanism. She seems to have retreated into a cozy New York fantasy world of politics as theater. That is no place for a conservative.

As a long time Noonan fan I am sorry to say that I think it is time for the WSJ to fire her.

Great letter.

“...threw it all together at the last minute off the top of her head....”

Right.

When she called Palin a “dope”, she descended to a low point in journalism.

Then closing out with “come get me, copper” was totally off the wall.

Something has gone very wrong.

Peggy Noonan, is unable to compose a scholarly article, either inductively or deductively, with substantiation that exceeds her trademark hyper-emotional metaphor.

Writes the Noonan, unable to disguise her post-menopausal crush on Marxist Obama, there is little sign that [Sara] has the tools, the equipment, the knowledge or the philosophical grounding one hopes for, and expects, in a holder of high office.

Ah, yes. Is Peggy Noonan some distinguished scholar with high honors and numerous awards (other than honorary degrees, which are truly nothing) to her c.v.?

Nupe (as a moose hunter might say)

Noonan pretends to be an elitist; but sadly, she lacks the creds. Noonan has a bachelor’s degree from (are you seated?) … Fairleigh Dickinson University. Wiki doesn’t say, but I’m guessing a B.A. in linguistics, journalism, or modern dance.

Peggy Noonan.

Your jealousy of Governor Palin’s youth, attractiveness, and success is as palpable as it is repellant.

That you think that WE don’t know you are a clandestine fellow traveler with Marxist Obama means that, just as do so many “journalists”, you misunderestimate us.

To put it in a metaphor that only you will understand, you just don’t have magic. .

Look at the crap Peggy Noonan putting out now. I use to like her, now I can’t stand her.

She doesn’t get... maybe see never has. 7 weeks ago when she made her slip about McCain picking Palin on the air; she also asked “Why not Kay Bailey Hutchison?”

I was like -WHAT?! Are you CRAZY? That woman is PRO-CHOICE! It would have been same old; same old for the Republicans.

Now she is spitting out venom on Palin... I don’t know what her problem is... some think it is jealousy... Maybe it is because all she really is for is winning elections instead winning on ideas... I don’t know... but it is because of Palin I’m voting for this ticket.... And I know what she stands for... LIFE.

I wish Peggy would get a clue... and stop saying crap like

“But we have seen Mrs. Palin on the national stage for seven weeks now, and there is little sign that she has the tools, the equipment, the knowledge or the philosophical grounding one hopes for, and expects, in a holder of high office.”

What a jerk!
