I can’t not read her twitter name as anything but Peggy Hootenanny.

PN = Privileged Natterer

Joshua Norton July 23, 2009 at 6:25 pm

In fact, she has cocktail hour with the zombie Ronald Reagan every night. Unfortunately, all he does is mumble and drool. Just like in the good old days.

SayItWithWookies July 23, 2009 at 6:26 pm

Saying nothing in 140 characters must seem strangely unsatisfying to someone who can do it in 1,000 words.

These are things to brag about?

Scoop!

Texan Bulldoggette July 23, 2009 at 6:34 pm

Well, shit — how dumb is the guy/gal who asked the question? Her picture is right next to her column and how many ‘Peggy Noonans’ that look like Peggy Noonan can there be in this world? I think Peg-a-leg just wanted people to think she got recognized.

Extemporanus July 23, 2009 at 6:35 pm

Isn’t Peggynoonannyc the name of that dinosaur archeologists discovered last week in Utah?

GDuvall July 23, 2009 at 6:37 pm

[re=369529]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]:

Yeah, is there anyone who knows enough about Peggy Noonan to remember that she worked in the Reagan White House that doesn’t know what she looks like? The woman’s on TV all the damn time.

Naked Bunny with a Whip July 23, 2009 at 6:38 pm

Peggy Noonan was the brain behind the Reagan administration.

hobospacejunkie July 23, 2009 at 6:39 pm

[re=369529]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: Bingo.

Also, why does Peggs twitter like Magic 8 Ball?

NoWireHangers July 23, 2009 at 6:40 pm

Gastov expelled seltzer from his nose, choking violently. Regaining his composure he gasped and clutched his breast, “THE Peggy Noonington?!”

I smiled coyly, before taking a sip from my Tom Collins. “Yes, I am SHE.”

A Better American Than YOU July 23, 2009 at 6:42 pm

Why don’t we see some stories about the Cambridge police arresting Peggy Noonan? Damned white folks!

shadowMark July 23, 2009 at 6:42 pm

I am being asked if I’m the ML who used to suck off a president. I answer yes then wonder why the hell people are asking me that.

SomeNYGuy July 23, 2009 at 6:43 pm

To be fair, many people confuse her with Dr. Joyce Brothers.

Jukesgrrl July 23, 2009 at 6:49 pm

I like how she worked WITH Reagan and not FOR Reagan. So I guess that means he didn’t have any veto rights over that shit she wrote.

uppercanada July 23, 2009 at 6:50 pm

[re=369535]4tehlulz[/re]: I disagree, I think it looks just like her.

Neilist July 23, 2009 at 6:50 pm

“Yes”?

Shouldn’t it be, “Forsooth! It is I: The Noonan! She Who Must Be Obeyed! Look Upon My Very-Course Veins, Ye Mighty, and DESPAIR!”

Hieronymus Botch July 23, 2009 at 6:50 pm

[re=369505]Trash Mountain[/re]: She was the inspiration for The Replacements 1983 rock opera Hootenanny.. It’s an amazing fucking album.

slappypaddy July 23, 2009 at 6:55 pm

thus the noonster lays to rest any possible confusion that she may be the same peggy noonan who writes for the daily worker and worked with alger hiss. it is an easy mistake to make, they are both so prominent, and physically so similar to boot.

Pegs cast her eyes upon the countenance of Reagan and liveth still.
Egads, what manner of evil magic be this witchcraft?
Do not look into her eyes nor readeth her twwets. I warn ye.

Canuckledragger July 23, 2009 at 7:00 pm

Let me know what you hear from Peggington Noonington’s Cooter.

It’s got to be better….

Vanity Smurf July 23, 2009 at 7:01 pm

How long until she tweets the liquor store delivery? If this is really a window into the daily toils of Noo Nanny C it can’t be long. The woman has nothing to do with her time. Once a week she farts out a column and from time to time a town car arrives downstairs to take her to a teevee studio where she gets to cuss about redneck republicans on a live mic.

user-of-owls July 23, 2009 at 7:01 pm

I think calling her twattering thing “noo nanny” is delightful, but it simply can’t hold a candle to Ann Althouse’s which looks like “analhouse”.

Not to be be confused with that C Street Republican Orgy place…

[re=369589]grevillea[/re]: When I think Lady Noonington and unbalanced, ovaries is not the first thing that comes to mind.

She can walk on by and turn her head, but not on twitter.
She can never remember anyone tweeting about health care 20 years ago when she was a girl.

Yeah, she’s the PN who writes for the WSJ — the Prissy Nitwit.

Extemporanus July 23, 2009 at 8:10 pm

Someone surely must’ve mentioned this before, but if not:

“Hey Nonny Nonny” from Much Ado About Nothing

I believe that performance was by the WSJ editorial board.

Katydid July 23, 2009 at 8:18 pm

Pegs paying a “computer man” to teach her to tweet somehow reminds me of the person who commented somewhere that she doesn’t use Twitter because it costs money.

Smoke Filled Roommate July 23, 2009 at 8:21 pm

[re=369505]Trash Mountain[/re]: Personally, I read it as “Peggy Poonanny.”

Hostile Michigander July 23, 2009 at 8:57 pm

So, is she just answering questions from random twitterers? Because I’m sure the posters here could think of a bunch of good ones!

Smoke Filled Roommate July 23, 2009 at 9:00 pm

More Eggypig Noonaners:
“I just saw a clip of Andy Rooney speaking at Walter Cronkite’s funeral. His lapsing into silence more eloquent than many others’ words.”…Did you ever wonder, Andy? Answer: Signs Point to Yes.”

grevillea July 23, 2009 at 9:29 pm

I don’t think this refers to an actual question from anyone outside her head — more like just boning up for her next dementia test. “OK, next question Ms Noonan: who is the President?” “Gadzooks ye fiend, I know it is yet the dark knight Carter. Will America’s long dark night of the soul have no dawn? But hark! The sound of galloping hooves echoes from the West… Yippee-ai-yay!”

schvitzatura July 23, 2009 at 9:30 pm

Brags about getting galley proof of book that basically says Gastarbeiter, gehen gie zurück in die Türkei, Pakistan, und Somalia…it is brilliant and honest. 2009 finally has its big book.

AUFSCHNEIDER!

jfruh July 23, 2009 at 9:31 pm

Say what you will about the Noonerator, but her tweets are impeccably, even gracefully, punctuated. Compare, for instance, to Chuck Grassley’s meth-fuelled rambling, filled with random capitalization and other horrors.

shortsshortsshorts July 23, 2009 at 9:32 pm

shortsshortsshorts July 23, 2009 at 9:41 pm

[re=369646]jfruh[/re]: But I don’t understand? Peggy Noonan? At all? And that is unfortunate? Please clarify? For me? While these musings fester in my soul? On Twitter?

[re=369567]user-of-owls[/re]: If I were cruel and unkind, I would say that the avatar shows a nationally-known Harvard professor looking out of his front door at the Cambridge police.
But I am not so unkind.
Rather, I would venture that it looks a 14 year-old Haitian maid staring out of a closet where she has lived for the last 3 years in the Upper East Side, putting Rob Roys into a Slurpie cup for her mistress.
Or was that wrong of me to say?

karen July 23, 2009 at 10:14 pm

And by “worked with” she meant “was the one person who could make him sound sane.”

Still, I am surprised anyone would even admit doubting Her Ladyship. There was a time that such things were not tolerated on the internets. Quick, have the CIA run a trace and send come Cambridge police officers over to “talk” with the doubter!

Lionel Hutz Esq. July 23, 2009 at 11:36 pm

Personally, I thought it was Peggy Noonan the New York hooker.

Lionel Hutz Esq. July 23, 2009 at 11:48 pm

Of course, how do we know it is not the Practical (Personal?) Nurse who used to shoot heroin into Reagan’s scrotum so Dick Cheney could really run the country? This would explain her moving on to the Wall Street Journal (except the scrotum ejections would then be, obviously, requested).

Peggy Noonan is a well-respected commentator and a shrewd political observer with her finger on the nation’s pulse.

Remember, kids, if you have a Twitter account you can send a tweet directly to another twitterer. Like our Peggs, for example. Simply begin your message with an ampersand (@) plus the recipient’s twitter name. Add your personal message & send. So to send Peggs a personal tweet begin your message with @peggynoonannyc and you’re all set. Now get with the program & send some welcome tweets to our Peggs!

You all just watch; Peggy Noonan is working on The Re-Animated Corpse of Ronald Reagan’s 2012 president campaign, Nancy be damned. And, since it’ll only be a corpse, he will not be subject to term limits.

You guys really have no idea what’s she’s doing in her condo, do you?

Extemporanus July 24, 2009 at 2:46 am

[re=369723]hobospacejunkie[/re]: Here’s another nifty little twitter tip (twip?):

Ending your message with the twittercon “?!” means “Not only would I fingerbang your twat, but I would stimulate your G-spot whilst doing so.”

However, I’d suggest letting Peggs get a few more twats under her belt before giving “?!!” a try. Easily shocked though she may be, there’s no need to rush things.

hobospacejunkie July 24, 2009 at 3:43 am
