Via Wonkette, President Obama yesterday announced the formation of something called the Ronald Reagan Centennial Commission . Truthfully, we don't give much of a shit, but for the salient fact that Peggy Noonan has been appointed to serve on said august commission. Presumably this explains the misspelling of the sainted man's name? If, as it appears, the WH's strategy is to coddle Peggy with one hand...
BIG NEWS: The President Barack Obama was so bored yesterday that he just cold started nominatin’ folks. If you look somewhat far down the Official White House List of Nominations here, you will see the greatest news in history: Peggy Noonan, a columnist famous to children, is now President of Ronald Reagan. This is True. [...] Ronald Reagan - Barack Obama - Washington Post - George HW Bush -...
DOWNLOADS: (76) PLAYS: (201) What are Peggy Noonan and Walter Isaacson smoking?—and Fareed Zakaria for that matter. During this 'very serious' debate on CNN's GPS, Peggy Noonan claims that President Obama is 'governing from the left' and that he's 'damaged his brand' by threatening to raise taxes. She also tries to paint the New Jersey governors' race as a twenty point drop in support for the...
By GottaLaff Omiheartfeltgoodness I'm dee-pompous-lighted-- do you know what I mean'-- to hear the oh-so-genuine notes of sincerity dripping from Noonan's so very earnest lips: Obama has found himself a unexpected supporter in Peggy Noonan. The conservative columnist says she's delighted to see "an American president who's thinking" about an issue as serious as Afghanistan rather than presenting...
While Peggy Noonan is normally Dan’s territory, I hope he will indulge me on this one. Reason being is that I’m now a self-created student of the “American Generations” after reading “The Fourth Turning“. Noonan’s column today sums up exactly why, as a Gen X’er, I hold the Baby Boomers in such disdain and long for [...]
To show you just how much a late bloomer I was as a film buff, when I first read about the first archetypal screen gangster, James Cagney, I confused him with Jackie Gleason’s Honeymooners’ co-star Art Carney. After reading about Peggy Noonan’s express in her wonderful What I Saw at the Revolution her “intuition” that the [...]
Peggy Noonan adopts a meme that has been sweeping the blogs of late, the idea that America’s elite is broken; so broken she says, that it doesn’t know it’s broken. In a WSJ article, she describes the current and disastrous reign of “callous children”; people who have “never seen things go dark” and are leading [...] [[ This is a content summary only. Visit...
Well, she gave her heart to Barack, she voted for him, she was elitist, now she faults the Obamabots as callous children. Perhaps you should have listened to the heartland before this : Part of the reason is that the problems—debt, spending, war—seem too big. But a larger part is that our federal government, from the White House through Congress, and so many state and local governments,...
Peggy Noonan decides that we should be in fact eating cake. The cake is a lie . The new economic statistics put growth at a healthy 3.5% for the third quarter. We should be dancing in the streets. No one is, because no one has any faith in these numbers. Waves of money are sloshing through the system, creating a false rising tide that lifts all boats for the moment. The tide will recede. The boats...
Peggy Noonan ... I talked with an executive this week with what we still call "the insurance companies" and will no doubt soon be calling Big Insura. (Take it away, Democratic National Committee.) He was thoughtful, reflective about the big picture. He talked about all the new proposed regulations on the industry. Rep. Barney Frank had just said on some cable show that the Democrats of the...
More nonsense from the British press, although this is a narrative the Beltway Village is also fond of. Breathless headline? Check: Barack Obama sees worst poll rating drop in 50 years Breathless lede? Check [emphasis added]: Gallup recorded an average daily approval rating of 53 per cent for Mr Obama for the third quarter of the year, a sharp drop from the 62 per cent he recorded from April. His...
From today's Washington Post online Q&A with Howard Kurtz : Bluffton, SC: In your blog on Friday you wrote this referring to MSNBC and its liberal hosts: "though that channel does give Joe Scarborough three hours a day, while no liberal has a show on Fox News." Although Joe considers himself a conservative the majority of the guests (not to mention his co-host) are decidedly liberal....
Here are the best posts fro my blogroll this week. As usual, they are not ranked, but are listed alphabetically by blog name. American Digest says Peggy Noonan still does not get it. so what else is new? Audacity of Logic talks morality in Hollywood. Big Feed has the list of Gitmo torture. Camp of the Saints features Jane Mansfield. Classic Liberal notes the Flight 93 memorial crescent points to Mecca....
This is my response to a cruel article on Sarah Palin by Peggy Noonan. She had supportive and positive words regarding the possibility of an Obama administration. Since she displayed positive words of support for Obama, how conservative could she really be? Peggy Noonan’s roots are firmly grounded in and around New York City . She was raised in one of the most elitist and liberal cities in the country.
