She´s the most eloquent turncoat hag alive. Life´s too short to read her lovely but tainted prose anymore, at least for me. I remember.

Maybe she was eloquent at one time, but that was many brain cells ago.

Mrs. Blowhard.

Prez win! So he must hang on the rim and sway a bit before landing.

Maybe Petraeus will take a personal (even flagrant) foul and undercut the hotdog.

I suppose the Journal has some sort of contract with Peg Noonan where they must pay her to write something now and then?

I imagine we can look forward to soon reading her ruminations on the sun coming up in the morning.

Some people sing in the shower. Peggy Noonan reads her own columns. Out loud. Head tilted just so. The melodious tinkling of her meter in perfect time with the droplets dancing on her face. And every now and then, but less so recently...a coherent thought, ready for the loofah.

I don´t read her columns, but she´s certainly worthwhile for the hilarious comments she engenders on this site.

Wasn´t she Jane Fonda´s mom in " On Golden Pond"?

So Peggy references Andrew Sullivan. That explains a lot.

Gee Peggy what motivated Obama´s get out the vote in a miserable economy with his failed leadership?

Gifts! It goes even farther, we expect the federal govt to take care of us in difficult times, Sandy, no jobs, international uncertainty. The disconnect is the cold hard truth, some choose not to accept. The heavy lifting in hard times can´t be expected from the 47 soon to be 51%. Let me get this straight.

Next comes the control of those in power, who we are supposed to trust but continually let us down. The media villianizing our side so our opponents keep their hands clean in the eyes of their voters.

I agree with her sentiments on the Petreaus players. Disgusting. Once again her column starts big and ends sloppy.

When our representatives on both sides were wedded to the Constitution and were playing their political games Noonan´s idea of "dealing" with the other side was a reasonable compromise.

What is different now is that dealing with leftists of the Democrat Party means sliding further and further into the abyss of collectivism and away from the founding principles. We have allowed modern liberalism to push us so far I to a corner that any further progress of their agenda will enslave us to socialism.

When you are in a "last gasp" situation, how can one give away half of the air that remains when it simply assures you will never breath free again?

Noonan sarcastically criticizes Romney´s post-election explanations of the Republicans´ failings, but she gently, with sadness, criticizes Obama´s Susan Rice press conference posturing. She reserves her anger for Rupublicans, and she reserves her sorrow for Obama. Which side is she on?

As a retired member of the military, I must point out that, nowadays, uniform regulations mandate that one wear ALL the awards to which one is entitled, or be found to be "out of uniform". Can´t say what the uniform regs were back in Ike´s day.
