Thanks George

She honestly believes that they feel bad for lowering the standards of discourse. They don’t give a rat’s ass about the standards of discourse, unless they can use that standard to beat conservatives over the head with it.

Peggy if you read this, and have any type of loyalty to the republican or conservative cause, STHU. You are not helping anybody except getting your dumb ass into the next cocktail party on the upper west side.

way more often than she’d right. I’ve long since quit reading her.

Proper grammar saves lives.

Activists Taking Action: Unified Patriots

And yet he apparently didn’t damage himself much in the Chappaquidick affair, did he, Peggy dear. How stupid do you have to be to think that Kennedy damaged himself anywhere along the line when he is regularly touted as the Lion of the Senate?

I’ll take “Pundits More Dense than a Black Hole” for $500, Alex.

by the way Chuck Shumer and company treated Alito, Roberts, and Bush COA nominees with such courtesy, dignity, and respect.

or are they just in some sort of LSD-induced self-delusional flashback?

pulled out the Durbin memo the first time the Dems played the “Latino Race Card”, read it into the record, and said “We don’t plan on doing what you guys did to Miguel Estrada”

Oh, and btw, Frist’s linguini-spined refusal to shut down the Senate over Estrada’s racist treatment may have been *the* most pathetic example of the
$#@&#$!! ‘NewTone’ squishiness, let’s play nice BS that’s turned out *so* well for us the last two cycles.

that causes one’s brain to atrophy… or turn to sponge and absorb the leftwing tripe that is rampant there….

Perhaps we need the EPA to look into it…. |;^)

I used to enjoy her writing so much, but she has really lost her mind.

Of course, to anyone here, or anyone with a modicum of perspective, the study is a revelation about as profound as the one linking drinking to an increase in the perceived attractiveness of the opposite sex.

a study by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism shows. It concludes: “President Barack Obama has enjoyed substantially more positive media coverage than either Bill Clinton or George W. Bush during their first months in the White House.”

The study examined 1,261 stories by The Post, the New York Times, ABC, CBS and NBC, Newsweek magazine and the “NewsHour” on PBS. Favorable articles (42 percent) were double the unfavorable (20 percent), while the rest were “neutral” or “mixed.” Obama’s treatment contrasts sharply with coverage in the first two months of the Bush (22 percent of stories favorable) and Clinton (27 percent) presidencies.

Unlike George Bush and Bill Clinton, Obama received favorable coverage in both news columns and opinion pages. The nature of stories also changed. “Roughly twice as much of the coverage of Obama (44 percent) has concerned his personal and leadership qualities than was the case for Bush (22 percent) or Clinton (26 percent),” the report said. “Less of the coverage, meanwhile, has focused on his policy agenda.”

(H/T)^2 National Review

It has something to do with living in New York, I think. It gets into their veins and then the water tastes horrible so they start ordering it bottled, and they start going to Broadway shows and talking with other New Yorkers, and pretty soon they sound like Peggy Noonan.

That’s harsh, but it’s the truth: Peggy Noonan has in fact been infiltrated by aliens.

OK now here’s the truth: She’s used to the country-club lifestyle. She enjoys it and doesn’t intend to give it up, and the hard and cruel facts are that the rich and powerful in this country right now are Donks. Peggy isn’t about to stop being pampered.

Hardly necessary, because this is a great blog.

She says some pretty laughable things.

it is also a wound for the Democrats, the worst kind, a self-inflicted one. They damaged our national political culture and lowered their own standing with their assault, and their victory left them looking not strong and uncompromising but mean and ferocious.

Does she really think they care about that? Now, 22 years later? It is to laugh.

And on some level they know it. Ask Ted Kennedy, if he had it to do over again, if he would repeat all his intemperate and unjust words about “Bob Bork’s America” and “back-alley abortions” and blacks turned away from lunch counters. He’d be a fool if he said yes. He damaged himself in that battle.

At precisely the level that two thugs who stole a nun’s lunch money “know” it. Just well enough to snicker about it. As for Kennedy, he’d not only say “yes,” he’d say, “Damn straight. Now hand me that towel. My hair’s still wet. If Chappaquiddick didn’t ‘damage’ me, what can?”

“If Sotomayor isn’t made to answer why she is overturned more than upheld…”

This is an issue that the Pub’s should hit especially hard. Give her a chance to say that it’s because she’s been reviewed by white male appellate judges, so of course they’d get it wrong.

I used to read Peggy every week. Then she jumped on the Obama bandwagon and “poof”..she was gone…

I now view Peggy as practically soaking through her seat every time she writes about Obama

Can she, or anyone, point out evidence to support the contention that these Demoncats were damaged by anything they have said or have done? They have no remorse about ANYTHING. They NEVER apologize, nor admit that they were harsh, wrong, or vindictive.

On some (no, ALL) levels, they DON’T KNOW IT, Peg.

“Jeffrey Lord worked on five Supreme Court nominations as a Reagan White House political director, including that of Robert Bork. He is the author of a book on the Senate’s judicial confirmation process and writes from Pennsylvania at jlpa@aol.com.”

“Republicans, Let’s Play Grown Up,” she suggests, saying the Sotomayor hearings are an opportunity for a serious debate. Along the way, she says this: “Newt Gingrich twitters that Judge Sotomayor is a racist. Does anyone believe that?”

In the interest of obliging on her first point — the need for a serious debate — and answering her second — does anyone believe the Judge is a racist?– a response follows.

snip-

I enjoyed your latest on the proper response by Republicans to Judge Sotomayor’s nomination. As always, thought provoking. You raised a serious point in citing Newt Gingrich’s remark that the Judge is a racist, asking, “Does anyone believe that?”

Between us, I have to say the answer is “yes” — I do believe it.

A personal story, if I may.

I highly recomend reading the rest of his piece here. http://spectator.org/archives/2009/06/02/answering-peggy-noonan-why-sot

The nonsense this woman is peddling is just unbelievable. We’re supposed cave because otherwise it will hurt us politically and, even worse, we’ll feel bad about it later on? What drivel. As if the Democrats, Teddy included, ever experienced the faintest remorse over their treatment of Robert Bork, Clarence Thomas, or Miguel Estrada. They view those episodes as great victories. Heck, they still talk about “Borking” this or that Republican nominee. Peggy, give it up. You are Vichy. Therefore your advice is neither needed nor wanted.

She used to be OK, we used to have a greatParty, and life in America used to make sense. Goodbye to all that.

Noonan, Frum, Brooks, and their increasingly incoherent and repugnant ilk are desperate for relevance. I’ve written the WSJ that I will never subscribe again while Noonan is on board. Pure lefties are easier to tolerate than her truly supercilious blather. She’s really bad on TV – pompous, smug, incredibly boring, and without a lick of substance. She’s the perfect Obama cheerleader. We should be happy to reject her.

These folks also never really were conservatives – they just rode that bandwagon when it was the power base. These people live for their social stratas. Their incomes now DEPEND on bashing conservatives and sucking up to the most heinous people in this country. How sad are they?
