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?

Peggy was a speech writer for Ronald Reagan. Other than that, her career and personal views have been more left than right. I would put her political leanings about where you would find obama or hillary.
...and that haughty air of superiority she portrays.
Puke.
She makes me want to puke. She’s kind of like a female Bill Kristol.
It's amazing, isn't it. Here you have your typical leftist Democrat who's abortion beliefs are on par with Kermit Gosnell, and these idiot Republicans and beltway conservatives want to hang Moore out to dry.
Never mind that if Moore hadn't fought back, this would have been the template going into next year's mid-terms.
Even if Jeb Bush would've won the nomination the Dems would have dropped some type of bombshell like they did the GWB in 2000 (DUI) and tried to do in 2004 (Air National Guard).
Noonan and others are nothing more than housecats of the Left.
See my #31 and quit being an asshole.
Noonan deserves to be trashed because she’s bought and paid for by Golden Sacks and Mitch McConnell.
Hey Miss Piggy, you need to learn to write more efficiently. The Moore hit job is finished ever since the accusers’ lies have been debunked.
How come you remained silent in the face of Clinton’s rape charges? You are a worthless Never Trumper.
Time to retire with George Will and David Gergen to the Old Folks Home for Washed up GOPe Commentators.
Worst of all: you remained silent while the oligarchy stole our Republic. You conspired with that oligarchy.
Ronald Reagan is looking down at you with disbelief and shame.
I’ll happily trash the silly old bitch. She has earned our scorn, and then some for her leftward lurch.
meh
A Never Trumper chimes in
Say no to Peggy and to any scenario that might land a Dim in an Alabama senate seat. Vote Moore, and if he should have to leave the senate, our Republican governor would appoint another temporary senator and schedule another special election.
All of us, I assume. She lost it years ago, around 2005.
Spot on, fr_freak!
The ladies want it both ways.
As Billy Clyde Puckett’s uncle once observed about women, “If they didn’t have p*ssies, there’d be a bounty on ‘em.”
There are a lot of threads here on Moore that could use your wisdom
Nice
Peggy Sux no question......but I woulda curled her little piggies but good once upon a time way. Back when......yes i woulda....”bet your mama didn’t know you could scream like that “
....she was nice looking in the 80s.....lithesome lass from...decent wordsmith for a splittail
Wall sTreet Urinal, Peggy Blewnun. Say no more, no need to click.
Excellent post
Hell yes
And it detracts from Whoopie rape rape and dilutes serious sexual malfeasance
Oh lord he grabbed my ass in 1977 and I’ve been destroyed ever since
Ruined my life
Demanding sex so you can keep your job is rightfully wrong
But women used to know how to handle boors and didn’t play victim over it
My wife has dealt with inappropriate male behavior all her life and still does
Unless it’s violent or serious physical or work extortion you just move on
Anyone who went to grade school with girls knows they play victim rather well
“I posted this to see who and how many would trash Peggy Noonan.”
Why would you care? Are you Noonan’s publicist?
See my #31 and quite being an asshole.
“for a splittail”
That’s most certainly a salty dog’s nomenclature.
“She has earned our scorn, and then some for her leftward lurch.”
She’s not a leftist.
She’s a statist neocon and establishment Republican. Just like ALL of the Congressional Republicans.
