Ms. Noonan will be serving hors d'oeuvres in the GOP lounge... right after the oil crew wipes her down.

Look up "obsequious". You'll find a picture of Peg.

O'bots, this is the apologist-laureate who helped feed you all those neocon lies on doilies, with her overworked diction and above-it-all affect. Look up "Stockholm Syndrome", and be careful picking new friends while you're in a delirious stupor.

I think everybody gets it. Some don't care - Carville admirers for instance. For most I think it's just blatant fear or racism - it's hard to believe anyone with any regard for integrtiy could still think she deserves to be president, regardless of whether she would be a good one or not. Even if she were the best choice, which she isn't, she is too vicious to deserve it - and so's her daughter. And I used to like Bill in spite of myself - that's so over.

Oh great. Now HuffPo is publishing Peggy Noonan to attack Hillary. Who's next? Bill Kristol?

Hillary Clinton has used ruthless tactics, has remembered things that didn't happen and has nevertheless consistently lost to Obama, yet her older female supporters regard the idea that she might not win the Democratic nomination as some kind of unspecified outrage. They seem to be seeking a coronation, not a nomination.

Was Ms. Noonan as outraged when her imagined lover/mentor/the Giver of all Things Ronald Reagan "imagined" he really fought the Nazis in WWII? He simply "misspoke" and confused the Warners Brothers soundstage with the European Front. Easy enough to do, I guess. And, BTW, there is no conceivable way that Noonan will support anybody but McCain in the General Election. Obama is way too liberal. And she hates Clinton, although a Clinton presidency would keep her in business for a few more years.

The thing is, when you decide to go nasty you have to knock your opponent out immediately or people begin to get really sickened by how nasty you are being.

So for example in South Carolina in 2000 Bush (Rove) did some things that were beyond the pale, like push polls and suggesting that John McCain had an illegitimate black daughter or was mentally unbalanced from his time as a POW. McCain got whacked and never really recovered his momentum.

Hillary 'threw the kitchen sink' with the 'commander in chief test', the '3AM call commercial' having Geraldine Ferraro play to the bigot vote with the language of black privlidge and finally by pushing the Rev Wright story. But while it gave her narrow vote wins in Ohio and Texas (but only slightly narrowed the delegate gap) it did not knock Obama out, and as it continued, or threatened to continue, people began seeing her giving the election to McCain (some even suggested intentionally). Meanwhile Hillary felt that she had to keep the volume up so thus came the tales of wartime heroics.

(Part of the reason why it worked for Bush in 2000 in South Carolina and not for Clinton in 2008 is that Clinton's campaign SAID that they were going to throw the kitchen sink, so when it happened folks said 'oh, so this is what the kitchen sink looks like')

There came a time in my life-- maybe in my thirty-somethings-- when I began to notice a pattern
in the stories I chose to share with others. I exaggerated. When I saw a 3-foot barracuda hanging around in the canal behind my Key West home, that barracuda grew to 5 feet when I passed the story along to friends. I did this often enough to start asking myself "why". Today I figure that I considered myself so boring that in order to get anything I said across to others, I had to "trifle with the truth". The plain, unadulterated story, by itself, just didn't cut it.
Maybe this is where Hillary is coming from-- it's at least a possibility. But I don't want my President creating fairy tales for mass consumption and ulterior motives. You see, I KNEW I was lying; I imagine that Hillary does too. And "I'm tired, I misspoke" doesn't cut it with me.

Ms Noonan is right on again. She put in writing what most democrats fear/know. She and Bill are "has beens"...and have lost the respect of the voters. The Bosnia thing is one of many lies about her history. The woman has a problem and its coming to light. The main stream media who have had a lovefest with the Clintons of the 1990s are shellshocked. A year ago many thought the race was over and Hillary had it locked up. And at this stage with problems all around her Noonan has it right....Hillary doesn't have a clue what to do and cannot admit defeat. So she drags on the battle which is just bringing the democrats into a foolish internal war that will destroy them. McCain has it made.

I agree with Peggy Noonan, even though she is a habitual liar as well.

The earth has shifted. Up is down when I agree with an entire Peggy Noonan column. Maybe this global conciousness shft really is happening.

Ewww! I agree with Peggy Noonan! OMG!!

"Sort of crazy." That sums it up, all right. Bottom line: I don't want any more presidents who are driven entirely by their own neurotic needs. Barack Obama seems to have fewer emotional problems than any candidate I have seen in a long time. He is qualified for the job, and he is not crazy. We ought to make all candidates take a psych exam, but then that would eliminate the fun of watching loons like George W. Bush and Hillary Clinton (and Bill) and John McCain in action. These people do not have our interests at heart. How can they? Their whole being is tied up in proving that they are what they think they are--something we can all see they are not. Can we have a SANE president? Just for a change of pace?

Peggy Noonan has been wrong practically every other time, but with the concatenation of events, statements, and independent observations concerning Hillary Clinton, I'll have to go with Noonan on her current assessment of "Mrs. Clinton."

Illusions of grandeur, faking it, lying, cheating, pointing those accusatory fingers. If you or I behaved that way we'd be put in an institution. Not very presidential, hu?

They have all the money in the world.
They're not transparent as to how they got it, oh by the way has she opened up her docs yet for the world to see???

Bill and Hill, buy a farm and just plant some vegetables. Could be very pacifying.

When we die, and we ALL do eventually - we come naked to this world and we leave it naked. When will they realize that they can't take it with them..

Who gives a flip what that Republican hag thinks? At this point, either you understand the problem with Republican women, or you don't.
