President Trump ripped conservative columnist Peggy Noonan in a tweet Sunday for suggesting that Congress censure him for attempting to obstruct special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation instead of trying to impeach him.
”Peggy Noonan, the simplistic writer for Trump Haters all, is stuck in the past glory of Reagan and has no idea what is happening with the Radical Left Democrats, or how vicious and desperate they are,” Trump wrote in a posting. “Mueller had to correct his ridiculous statement, Peggy never understood it!”

Used to love me some Peggy Noonan back in the day, so I'm kinda glad that this little tweet-tiff will raise her readership back up to a dozen or so . . . at least for a week or two.

Peggy Noonan has traded on her not that great Reagan connection for an eon. And it is an eon, but Peggy hasn't been there for it. Her writing is awful, and her ideas are pickled in NYC wine. And "simplistic" is a perfect critique.

I have disliked Noonan since she editorially sneered at Sarah Palin when she ran for vice president. Noonan and George Will are the leading practitioners of clutch-your-pearls journalism.

Ah, the bitter mutterings of a washed-up, formerly "important" columnist. So nice that the Peggster deigns to set the moral tone for us deplorables.

Noonan jumped the shark with George Will and Billy Kristol, in close formation with Max Boot some
time ago.
I saw a brief clip of Will apparently being interviewed on CBS. Apparently, from a 20 second clip,
Will is still suffering from a severe case of TDS and being a pompous horse's hind end.
Noonan is WAY past her last "use by" date.

Noonan is another example of the Rino infestation that dwells in the sludge, mire, and muck that ferments in the Washington Swamp. Infrequently (thankfully), she emerges to remind us of the stench that exists in that sordid city. Thank god the newly appointed Sanitation Engineer, AG Barr is on the job. It won't be long before we drain the likes of Noonan, Crystal, Will, and other creatures from the lagoon.

Peggy is not conservative. She writes like a combination of a schoolmarm and Miss Manners. For her, Trump is like the unruly, but smart, kid in her classroom. She wants Congress to send him to the principal's office

Noonan used to put on a show of being a conservative but I thought that was just for Dubya's sake. She is about as conservative as Pelosi.

I've become "a little long in the tooth," but I clearly remember Peggy climbing onboard Obama's bandwagon. 'Nuff said!

Anyone living in DC long enough loses touch with reality soon enough and starts to think the dims make sense, simply because they control everything

I'm with the original poster: Is Noonan a conservative? I don't think so. She's a woman who acts like she wants to be popular amongst the "In Crowd" of the media. I stopped liking her several years ago when she turned on George W. Bush.

What's ironic, not to mention amazing, is that Donald Trump has done more for flyover Country Class conservatives and conservative policies in 2+ years than the Noonan's, Will's, Charen's, Kristol's and the rest of the "well, I never" crowd have in their careers.

So sad what's happened to Peggy's mind. Wonder why she decided to stop thinking clearly...?

Noonan - of the Upper East Side in NYC, is trying to keep up invitations dinner & hampton parties with all her hedge fund billionaire neighbors. Her repertoire is like Malcolm Forbes' coverart a few years ago - getting a little threadbare on the cuffs and collars, given that most of her neighbors aren't old enough to remember the flowery phrases she cribber for the Gipper's speeches....

Noonan's speech-writing specialty was memorializing events like the Challenger explosion and the Normandy invasion for Ronald Reagan. She's not a deep thinker and absorbs the ideas of people around her. Since she now lives in the Upper East Side, she's absorbed her neighbors' contempt for Trump "the vulgarian." I haven't considered her a conservative or even a Republican since she went all drooly over Barack Obama.

I was going to try to read her article- depending on how stinky it is- too see for WHAT SPECIFIC ACTS she would have him censured.
But alas, no subscription to wsj for me.
This article states she proffered the following reasons:
“There’s plenty of suppressed resentment there [in the senate] at how he’s mortified them and lowered things.”
“she said Trump would have liked to “subvert the investigation but wasn’t good at it” and was foiled by his staff.
“There are seemingly dangled pardons and threatened firings. There’s a hapless small-timeness to it, a kind of brute dumbness, and towering over it all is a grubby business deal in Moscow,” wrote Noonan, who has been a persistent critic of Trump since he entered office.
Ah yes, all strictly infra dig, Pegminister Fullwater.
What a clown she is. Or paid fool to mislead whatever fools give her credence.

First: It is not accurate to call Peggy a conservative. She is an establishment hack from the old guard is irrelevant, and her drunkard brassiness is unbecoming. Peggy is a has been, screeching, old had and her comments are worthless. She is no more a conservative than Bushes, or Krystol.

Noonan is an establishment republican that gets swept off her feet by pretty words. Never Trumpers are all the same breed and are incredibly annoying.

She has been living off her faded glory as a Reagan speech writer for decades. The woman simply does not have a clue. It is the moderate bunch in our party that is responsible in part for the situation we have now. We finally elected a fighter for President and she just cannot handle it. Go back to the kiddie table Pegs, you are not tall enough for the ride anymore.

Peggy Nooner? I thought her brighter than that. I suppose not. Trump should censure Congress for doing nothing over the past few years.

With a national approval rating of 20%, Congresd does not have the credibility to impeach or censure anyone or anything.
Until they can do the national business in a timely and efficient manor.. they will never have credibility!
A simple thing like a budget and appropriations bill signed into law by October 1, 2019.
If not they should be impeached and censured by the American public. Their failure is malfeasance and misfeasance of fiduciary responsibility, and couple that with upholding the actual laws of the nation.. immigration for one!

Noonan hasn't been a conservative since she left the Reagan administration. She is a bitter old woman who keeps cranking out 'her shtick', boring, lengthy nothings! She will try anything to make herself relevant again!
