Stunned and overjoyed to see the return of Sister Peggy! I used to LIVE for the next installment and hugely bummed when she went away. Too bad about Manuel, though. He was the best! Thanks, Gary! Thanks, Wonkette!!!

My Trump-humping reactionary bros-in-law have started saying "Forget Trump..." then claiming they only like his Policies, see. And they only read Penthouse for the LETTERS--er, articles.

When you speak to America you don’t have to repeat yourself for the slow. I don’t think he’s aware he often seems to be talking down. People will tolerate this from a politician when they think he’s their moral or intellectual superior, but they push back when they don’t, as in the polls.

Noonan complained that Obama "talked down" to people, but since he managed to get re-elected, she's decided they tolerated it because he was smart. Of course no sober person thinks Joe Biden "talks down" to people, but Noonan doesn't think Biden is smart, so his bad poll numbers must be because he acts intellectually superior, and not due to inflation.

Noonan thinks of herself as intellectually and morally superior to just about everyone, which qualifies her to speak for the rubes and simpletons she so clearly disdains.

So many of these revisionist jagoffs we’re stuck sharing this country with would have been perfectly fine with the Jan 6 coup succeeding. I wish o knew what it would take to put the evil back in the bottle but it often feels too late.

I always wonder which “policies” they mean when they say that. Like, what’s the best article you read in Penthouse?

Is she really trying to make concrete points in these columns? Unless she's just trying to maintain feelings of normalcy for old Republicans-- I guess she's doing that much-- I mean she's putting down Democrats but not in the 'pedo-cannibals' way, just in her old weird way that's hard to fathom. And you can't fault people whose job it is to make nursing home residents happy! Besides you can say any bullshit you like about Democrats and you'll never get challenged in any way.
