PEGGY NOONAN WRITES HUMDRUM COLUMN THIS SEVEN-DAY!: Can you even believe it? She just has a bunch of modestly valid points jumping all over the place, but nothing about seeing a Mexican or viewing a “rabbity forest creature darting among the hedgerows” on her television machine. Has our Miss Noonington been reading Wonkette’s weekly scholarly criticism of “Declarations” and decided to tone down the neo-Victorianisms? ‘Twoud be a shame! FREE PEGGY NOONAN! [WSJ]

She tries way too hard to be “hip” and “with it” in that column. For example:

[Obama]‘s one cool cat, perhaps even one chilly customer.

His small joke at Nancy Reagan’s expense the other day was the sort of joke they make in the leftosphere. The rightosphere has its jokes too. But America doesn’t live in the leftosphere or the rightosphere.

My advice to you Noony: stick with the obsolete Victorian era terminology, and just because “blogosphere” became a legit term doesn’t mean you can attach the suffix “-sphere” to anything and everything. Kthxbai!

Clinton was always “trying to rein in his emotions and tamp down purple rage.?” The House of Windsor (sic — it’s actually Windsor-Mountbatten, which you’d think an elitist like Peggy would know) is myseterious?! I was reeling from those two — and then the last sentence gave her the decisive head-thump trifecta. As grounded in reality as she is, I’m surprised she hasn’t divorced her Second-Life husband by now.

Ah, what bliss it is to wander in the the prose field of Nooningham on a Friday’s dusk, whilst the rest of the teeming world clatters in all its modernity – the “leftosphere” and the “rightosphere” forever at sixes and sevens. But hark, what is this higglety-pigglety compendium of sports metaphoria that segue into allusions to the House of Windsor (Mountbatten by way of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha if one must really know the truth)and then alights onto a discourse of the emotional propensities of our recent liege lords – Bush II and Clinton? It can make one quite cross to have the tea steeped and biscuits all prepared and the cucumber sandwiches ready to go – all in preparation for our weekly Pearls from Peggy – only to be jolted into such…..colonial concerns. Whither the Republicans? One might ask, with more alacrity – Whither Peggy?

Latest suggestion for Rebuilding the Party

Promote solutions to make penises larger.

As a nation we have lost our manhood. Truck Nutz are one possible solution but when getting to the full length and girth of the problem, it turns out that we need not only more but larger members. I propose extending a package providing the proper tools to government organs to distribute, at no cost, penis enlargment pills to the male members of our party. Plus Ann Coulter.

TRUCKNUTZ are crude humor mixed with “political incorrectness.” TRUCKNUTZ scream hyper-masculinity while being at the same time a tad homoerotic in a way that eludes their owner. A pair of TRUCKNUTZ hanging from your truck say toughness, virility, illiteracy, assholishness. TRUCKNUTZ say, “I don’t give a shit about science, and if you don’t get off my property I’m gonna shoot you dead for Jesus.”

You see, TRUCKNUTZ are not only the unifying representation of the GOP, they are the GOP. Forget about free TRUCKNUTZ for all, we should have petitioned them to get rid of the elephant and make a pair of TRUCKNUTZ the new official symbol of the Republican party.

Understand that I’m pro-gay. I’m pro-gay rights. I’m pro-gay marriage. I’m pro-gay culture. I’m pro-gay everything. And in my mind, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything on a vehicle that more clearly seemed to scream, ‘I am gay and proud!’ than a pair of Truck Nutz.”

As stateth in aforementioned and previous discussions, Peegy Noonath hath attempted rotating between what the commons refer to as “baseball batting positions.” However, what these lowly pion’s lack the intellectual ferocity in endeavoring uponeth understanding is foremost, that Peggy Noonan is a fucking liar.

And a meechy media hoe.

And a hypocrite, but especially a liarith.

“Young Republicans…You don’t have to defend stupid decisions anymore.”

What a damning indictment of Peggy’s moral compass out of her own mouth.

I can’t wait ’til Peggy Noonan wins the next Pulitzer for commentary and Ken and Jim (and all right-thinking people) explode.

Noonan winning the Pulitzer is about as appropriate as George Bush winning Super Bowl MVP, but it’s going to happen.

[re=178001]facehead[/re]: if we get a shout out on Daily Show this week for that, my life will be complete.

Borat November 16, 2008 at 12:37 pm

[re=178007]Anonymous Office Zombie[/re]: The pro-gay comment is one of the best ones there. And even better, it won’t mysteriously disappear by a heavy handed GOP editor afraid of TruckNutz, Gayz, Anti-religous right, etc.

Well, they are probably afraid their sacred secret will be revealed if they are pro-Nutz. As we all know genitalia are evil, put on us by satan. We should all be ashamed of our bodies and impure thoughts

[re=177981]facehead[/re]: I think they’re the anals of bloggerdom. BTW, is all this shit still going in the Library of Congress?

DoctorCulturae November 16, 2008 at 3:17 pm

Dear, dear Peggy: ‘Read my lips.’ You and your kind brought us ‘a hundred points of blight.’

The rich got richer. The middle got lesser. The poor got squat. ‘Mourning in America’ indeed.

DoctorCulturae November 16, 2008 at 5:14 pm

[re=178025]DoctorCulturae[/re]: Pardon my mistake: “a thousand points of blight.” Perhaps it’s in the millions by now.

lol, Rebuild The Party has scrubbed their site again…

I figured I would steal every Jeff Foxworthy redneck joke ever and make a really long suggestion out of it.

Weeping Jesus November 16, 2008 at 5:47 pm

[re=178034]ICDogg[/re]: That’s got to be a lifetime achievement right there. I’m impressed, and yet I’m also saddened. I abandoned any thought of reading it when I scrolled down and scrolled down to see how many entries there were below yours, and found only yours …. and there seemed to be 100 screens of that shit…. you might be a Republican…

Borat November 16, 2008 at 6:29 pm

[re=178032]facehead[/re]: excellent. I wish you would have mentioned this contribution to rebuild the party now earlier. I missed an entire weekend of screwing with them

Borat November 16, 2008 at 7:14 pm

[re=178034]ICDogg[/re]:

ok, my often banned anti-satanic music one is now back too. I really don’t get why they would be against banning satanic music – isn’t that a fundamental Republican value?

At least Elizabeth Dole hatred of Rap music made me realize she was a wackjob back in the day and prompted my first $100 donation to the ACLU

Question: why does AOL Political Machine (spinning 24/7 to sort the cranks!) still employ ‘Dave’?

Can they not get a better Republican pundit than a dude who wants to put together a Palin/Jindal ticket? Also, someone who is not ashamed to let his full name be published?

facehead November 16, 2008 at 7:53 pm

[re=178034]ICDogg[/re], [re=178012]CivicHoliday[/re], [re=178008]shortsshortsshorts[/re], [re=178007]Anonymous Office Zombie[/re], [re=178041]Borat[/re]:

I think you will all agree, the real trick here is to come up with a suggestion which involves mockery, but not open mockery (otherwise it will just get deleted). My previous idea [re=177890]here[/re] seemed to do this job ok, as it did not get banned, though perhaps was not so mocking.

But now, I have come up with a suggestion so wonderful, I cannot hide my pride. The following, from “RepublicansForUnix” is from me. The puncline is the link (within the suggestion — which is NOT safe for work BTW) but be sure to read the whole thing.

Please vote!!! With any luck it will take them weeks to figure out this is a gag.

Who else is watching our Unicorn on 60 Minutes? Michelle is coming up!

[re=178045]facehead[/re]: VERY well done.

ICDogg November 16, 2008 at 8:20 pm

d’oh

Link to redtube doesn’t work for me. I think it might have to do with my ridiculous XP64 OS.

Borat November 16, 2008 at 8:20 pm

[re=178045]facehead[/re]: Wow. That video says it all. Vote now and vote often.

OMG, YES is on Huckabee playing “Owner of a Lonely Heart”… the old people in the audience look confused and slightly offended…

druranium November 16, 2008 at 10:09 pm

The rebuild the party site still doesn’t require confirmed registrations? Damn, they really love a good long drawn-out trouncing, don’t they? Here here, a daily show / colbert hat tip is in order!
[re=178045]facehead[/re]: I think your ideas will go far. I voted for it. Is it just me or does it seem like some of the commenters on your suggestion don’t get the ruse? Maybe its just really really thick snark

[re=178056]druranium[/re]: The first step to rebuilding the party is to reinstate Bozo on Sundays on Chicago’s WGN, create a positive post-consequential “global warming” economic alternative. THEN systematically destroy all things liberal through sexual Republican type force— and if that doesn’t work, release the hounds.

Walnuts ’08. It’s not over ’till all the ballets are counted.

gurukalehuru November 17, 2008 at 2:29 am

[re=178045]facehead[/re]: You did warn us that it was NSFW, but here in the Czech Repuublic, today is a holiday (anniversary of the Velvet Revolution)so I am sitting at home, in an atmosphere very much like a lazy Sunday morning, and opened that with my five year old son Sam looking over my shoulder.
My bad. Oh, well, I guess he has to learn about these things some time.

Anyway, I gave you 3 votes.

Mojopo November 17, 2008 at 2:51 am

Facehead – more than happy to vote. Fabulous work, you crazy person. Bravo!

On a tangential note, I’ve been thinking of a revised G20 summit menu. It vexes me:

My Fellow Royalists! Let’s remember the House of Windsor is nowadays patrilineally a part of the House of Oldenburg (Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg), thanks to the Duke of Edinburgh (Prince Philip). The Queen herself is of course a member of the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha family.

Borat November 17, 2008 at 5:28 am

[re=178056]druranium[/re]: well, 9 of those posts are my different personalities coming to bear. i’ve been trying to act like different factions of the party. I haven’t done my little-bo-peep one yet.

Weeping Jesus November 17, 2008 at 8:24 am

I searched that redtube site like crazy and could not find a single damn video explaining the “trickle down” economic theory. I had to sit through I don’t know how many stupid videos showing congressional pages and who know what all. I’m looking for substance, you see. Maybe Hogrock Cafe has something…. worth a shot, so to speak…

thefrontpage November 17, 2008 at 12:03 pm

No one on earth cares anymore what this crazed woman Peggy Noonan says or does–no one. It’s just not worthy of attention anymore. No one cares about her.
