High noon for Noonan

It's too bad that print readers won't see the comments conservatives have sent to the WSJ about Peggy Noonan, who has been suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome for years, ever since she was left at the altar--wasn't even invited to be a bridesmaid after being a big wheel in the party. Now she's really shaming herself with tantrums about Palin. Readers aren't buying it. I sent a comment, but I'm no match for the pros. They're all pretty good, but this was one of my favorites.

Ms. Noonan writes, "In the end the Palin candidacy is a symptom and expression of a new vulgarization in American politics."

And here's what the press had to say about the Gettysburg Address, back in 1863: "The cheek of every American must tingle with shame as he reads the silly, flat and dishwatery utterances of the man who has to be pointed out to intelligent foreigners as the President of the United States."
