Sarah Palin has polarized the establishment from the grassroots in a way we haven't seen in quite some time. This is happening both within the GOP and in the war between the GOP and the media/Democrats. Establishment Republican consultants are still waiting for Palin's first round of interviews to declare this a done deal, though the speech last night went a long way towards assuaging their initial...

Peggy “Elián González Was Saved By Magic Dolphins” Noonan, this morning: Because she jumbles up so many cultural categories, because she is a feminist not in the Yale Gender Studies sense but the How Do I Reload This Thang way, because she is a woman who in style, history, moxie and femininity is exactly like a normal American feminist and not an Abstract Theory feminist; because she wears makeup and...

I often enjoy reading Peggy Noonan's commentaries, but I don't normally post her essays because ... well, sometimes they seem carbon-dated from the Reagan years, with all due respect. It's not that her ideas are suspect - indeed, Noonan's offfered some of the most incisive analyses on the immediacy of immigration reform back in 2006. It's just that when I read Noonan I feel like Tip O'Neill 's the...

By Michael J.W. Stickings This is beautiful -- the truth behind the bullshit . (Although I think it's premature to say that the race is over.) Here are political consultant and McCainiac Mike Murphy and WSJ columnist Peggy Noonan, two Republican mainstays, talking about the Palin pick after a segment with NBC's Chuck Todd today. The segment is over, but the mic is live. Josh Marshall has the transcript...

Peggy Noonan got burned by an open Mike. Watch here . Peggy 'splains here with commentary ( HT The Swamp , sorry I couldn't get at the original WSJ Online mea culpa ) I like Peggy but the Pundit mania is getting out of hand. (i.e. Does Donna Brazille ever sleep? . OTOH I wonder how much they pay') This won't get mainstream play, and it probably shouldn't but such episodes just sour you to the whole...
