We still get a wee thrill of joy every time there's a new Peggy Noonan column. There's a certain sad delight in watching someone who penned some of the best speeches of the last 50 years turn into the drunk lady at the country club - persistent, but mostly harmless. Before you ask, no we are not engaging in hyperbole about Peg's former writing chops. Go read Reagan's
<i>...It looks like what critics have long accused this White House of being&mdash;imperious, full of overreach, full of itself. </i> Whoa! Pegs must have been out of the country visiting another planet during the Bush administration.
It was startling and, as she gave her benediction&mdash;the movies &quot;lift our spirits, broaden our minds, transport us to places we can never imagine&quot;&mdash;even in a way disquieting.
Oh, fuck you, you bitch. Just fuck you. What the fuck is so fucking disquieting about Michelle saying the same trite crap that everyone else on the fucking Oscars says? Jesus, woman. Just fuck you.
Yeah, that&#039;s why the damn battery on my phone ran down this afternoon with all the tweets from nerds who were either enraged or enthralled by the whole &#039;mixup&#039;. As if Bamz makes a mistake like that, shit was planned, just like his impromptu drop-in to the briefing room. (why yes, I listen to NPR, CSPAN and POTUS all day, why do you ask?)
Ah, Ms. Nooners. Without a doubt one of the lightest weight stars in the entire galaxy of lightweight Republican columnists.
Her cluelessness is proof that you don&#039;t have to be very bright or insightful to be a speech writer for a Republican President or to parlay that into a career writing columns for an uber right wing paper.
She predicted that Romney would win the White House. She was <i>so confident</i> in his victory. Based on scientific polling? No way Hosay - she counted the yard signs in her neighborhood and based solely on that, she triumphantly declared that a new era of Republican dominance was upon us.
Newsflash for Lady Noonington - U R doin&rsquo; it rong!!
Dame Peggy of Nooningtonshire posts just aren&#039;t the same when it&#039;s not Newell doing it. Sorry, Snipy. DAMN YOU AND YOUR MUSHROOMS, EDITRIX!
Meh, it&#039;s a decent speech on a heartstring-pulling topic that is an easy punt. The best line is a quote from a poem by some other guy who was, youknow, talented. I wouldn&#039;t name it as a top speech of the past 50 years, though.
&quot;Thousand points of light,&quot; now, is a damn fine piece of rhetoric: persuasive, beautiful, meaningless, impossible to gainsay.
Noonan was better than most of the GOP hacks who toss around America Patriot Family Values Honor, but she was no Ted Sorensen, even back when she was awake and sober.
Sometimes it isn&#039;t pretty what the booze can do: <a href="http://www.tcm.com/mediaroo..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.tcm.com/mediaroom/video/221341/Cat-Bal...">http://www.tcm.com/mediaroo...

Execrable... you&#039;re being generous.
Damn!! Now just imagine the last administration dealing with a goof by Goofy that way.
She&#039;s having gin gin gin till her WSJ takes the payroll away

Sorry. This woman just SO fucking pisses me off.
i would swear to god that was me only i&#039;ve never worn a peplum.

As a fellow black(by way of the caribbean) Irish, I agree with you whole heartedly. Makes me not even want another vodka tonic.
not to mention that POTUS just left a meeting with Boehner

I think she switched from rusty nails to absinthe.
