Why would I be interested in anything this has-been elitist has to say? I can analyse rings around her and all the other mush mouthed elitists who speak from their ego instead of reality.
The ones that down Palin do it mostly because she went to Idaho State instead of Brwyn Mar or Wellesley, Harvard, etc.That and pretentious speaking is all to them.

I never read Noonan any more. Saccharine and empty words......always.
And when she fell in love with Obama any shred of credibility she had left was gone.

Wonder if she has meaningful conversations with Olbermann and Matthews. ;)

Cross a Freeper once and they’ll never let you forget it. You’re banished for life. Noonan and O’Reilly immediately come to mind. Sometimes it seems like every Freeper has their own personal deal breaker after which negotiation is no longer possible.
Unilaterally rejecting those who tick us off, while ignoring their assets will not bode well for the GOP in 2012. I’m sometimes dismayed at the uninhibited willingness for conservatives to put so many Republicans on their permanent s**t list. Cross enough people off your ‘A’ list and we’ll end up with another John McCain.

President Obama's speech was not a pivot, a lunge or a plunge. It was a little of this and a little of that, a groping toward a place where the president might successfully stand. It was well written and performed with élan.No, Peggy, you're wrong again. It was a mess of platitudes, cliches, and meaningless rhetoric, delivered in a petulant, peevish, whiney tone.

Yours is the mindset that got the GOP to be a irrelevant minority party. Peggy Noonan has been an O-bot for 2 years now. She is a PR drone for his regime.
How long is she allowed to gush like a teenage girl about her man 0 before the weak spined “can't we all just get along” GOP Establishment types finally wake up to the fact she has switched political sides?

Hmmm... Peggy Noonan column:
Wait for it... Wait for it...
As the TV cameras panned the chamber, I saw a friendly acquaintance of the president, a Republican who bears him no animus. Why, I asked him later, did the president not move decisively to the political center?
Because he is more "intellectually honest" than that, he said. "I don't think he can do a Bill Clinton pivot, because he's not a pragmatist, he's an ideologue. He's a community organizer. He mixes the discrimination he felt as a young man with the hardship so many feel in this country, and he wants to change it and the way to change that is government programs and not opportunity."
The great issue, this friendly critic added, is debt. The public knows this; Congress and the White House do not. "To me the Republicans are as rotten as the Democrats" in terms of spending.
Yep, there it is. She's nothing if not consistent. What the hell happened to this lady? Is it a menopausal thing?

Peggy Noonan is dead to me. Zero was elected with her help.

Too much boiler-plate Peggy Noonan snooze-prose before she ever gets to the point. Pass.

The president will get some bounce from it, and the bounce will go away.
His bounce is like a lead weight in water. Despite all of the happy, hopeful predictions, it isn't happening.

It seems odd that Peggy Noonan, who went to great lengths to declare her loyalty to Obama about a year and a half ago, is now criticizing him. I guess she sees the tide has turned and now has too switch back.

One little FR post does not a mindset make. (Though jumping to unfounded conclusions may be.) I'm not here to defend Noonan or any other FR persona non grata. But as far as I'm concerned, anybody that wants to be in the club is in, free to speak their mind. The GOP is a national political party, not some Spanky and Our Gang treehouse club.

The Noonan Contradiction.
To: ColdOne
Because he is more "intellectually honest" than that, he said. "I don't think he can do a Bill Clinton pivot, because he's not a pragmatist, he's an ideologue. He's a community organizer. He mixes the discrimination he felt as a young man with the hardship so many feel in this countryWho is this idiot? Obama was raised in a pampered bubble of privilege. He never faced any discrimination at all his entire life. In fact much of his pathological autobiography had to do with the fact that he never felt like a real black kid for just this reason, he had to pretend to be black so he could pretend to fit in.
If Nooner is telling the truth here, this moron "friend" is an illustration of why the GOP has been a pathetic failure the last five years or so.
