I May Have Reached A Peggy Noonan Diagnosis

by Smitty The continued descent of Peggy Noonan into abject silliness seems to parallel that of her Presidential Savior. I can’t sustain a full fisk, but the end of her latest post about the President, which could not resist a swipe at Governor Palin, merits a quick once-over with the bus, emphasis mine: Noonan Smith […]

Democrats in Denial
