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?

“you need to learn to write more efficiently”
While I have nothing but disdain for what she says, a smart man would not disparage her superb written communications skills. She was Reagan’s chief speech writer.
She’s one of the best.
So don’t be silly about that aspect.
“See my #31 and quite being an asshole.”
Don’t call me an asshole, MF.
If you read # 31 you’ll agree you’re an asshole in this context.
Sergeant.
Why?
We’re separating the wheat from the chaff here friend.
See my #31.
Some folks just need a wee open to spout off something stupid. I thought I’d give it to ‘em.
There were no takers.
#31 doesn’t answer the question I asked. Your reply to me does though. You’re trolling.
Whatever. Noonan is a cuck.
Ben Shapiro was quacking the same line of drivel on Levin's radio show tonight. I switched it off ... the man is an idiot.
“You’re trolling”
Correct.
“If you read # 31 you’ll agree you’re an asshole in this context.”
I don’t give a crap what you posted in #31. You ought to be more concerned about your maturity level, such as calling people names like a whining little girl. Try explaining yourself in a calm and logical manner.
Agreed, most directly to the idea these folks stomached Clinton and Obama just fine. Now that Trump is in, they suddenly have concern for the nation? And it as badly misplaced as this?
She’s clueless.
I’m calm and you’re behaving like an asshole right now.
You’re likely a very good guy, a man of honor.
But like the rest of us you have assholey moments.
It’s ok to be an asshole.
When you wake up tomorrow with a headache, you’ll agree.
Let’s try this on you:
“I’m calm and you’re behaving like an asshole right now.”
I’m calm and you’re a honking jackass.
“You’re likely a very good guy, a man of honor.”
You’re likely a moron while awake, but harmless while sleeping.
“But like the rest of us you have assholey moments.”
You have more simpleton moments than most.
“It’s ok to be an asshole.”
It’s okay that you’re a 50 IQ baboon.
“When you wake up tomorrow with a headache, you’ll agree.”
When you’re hauled back to your room in the asylum and pumped full of psychotropics, you’ll mellow out.
my iq is 146
just sayin’
Go to bed.
A very good article. Much as I’d like to trash her for old time’s sake I have to give her a pass.
That must be in the part behind the paywall that I couldn’t see. To hell with her...
Bush the idiot son?
Say no to those who would kill babies as they come out of the womb!
Peggy can go to
Hell.
