Democracy Is Not Your Plaything *
When the circus comes to Washington, it consumes everything, absorbs all energy
PREDICTABLE PEGGY…NOONAN
NEVER DISAPPOINTS . . . THE PROGRESSIVE LEFT or THE ESTABLISHMENT
Recall when Peggy swooned over Obama…Constantly issued snarky criticisms of G W Bush. Here is her latest on the Republican President trump:
“The president of the United States has produced a building crisis that is unprecedented in our history. The question, at bottom, is whether Donald Trump has demonstrated, in his first four months, that he is unfit for the presidency—wholly unsuited in terms of judgment, knowledge, mental capacity, personal stability. That epic question is then broken down into discrete and specific questions: Did he improperly attempt to interfere with an FBI criminal investigation, did his presidential campaign collude with a foreign government, etc.”

Miss Peggy begins her column as though she has serious inquiry over a question of Donald Trump’s “fitness” for the office some 60 million Americans elected him to. The rest of her column is a not even a thinly veiled statement revealing she doesn’t have a question at all. She’s made up her mind, and, of course her conclusion went the way it always does…Trump is unfit!
Now Peggy would vigorously deny it and would denounce anyone who suggested it, but the lady has found the secret to sustaining her “prominence” in pundit-world.
She plays Washington Establishment strategy to the hilt. While she is vicious in her attack on Trump, Noonan would be outraged if accused of having wanted Hillary as president above any other candidate in 2012. She would be her typically “Shrill Peggy” in pointing to some reference she once buried in a column which was mildly critical of “HER”.
To recall for Peggy her gushing endorsement of Obama in his early days would see Peggy unleash her most eloquent invective that she only approved of the ‘good stuff” Obama brought to the office…his ‘unflappability’, his thoughtful approach to serious issues, blah, blah.
We submit that there is no other way to interpret Ms. Noonan’s position as her deep belief that Hillary Clinton would have made a swell president, Barack Obama wasn’t bad either, and that the vile GW Bush did not have the sense to realize it was Noonan who actually made Ronald Reagan what he was and she should have been given big responsibility in GW’s administration.
Noonan will never forgive GW or the American for having failed to recognize her own greatness! DLH
*yes Ms Peggy, the unwashed elected the deplorable Trump but as a gentle reminder we are a constitutional republic, not a democracy, our elections are not democratically held, we have an electoral college system. By the way, how unwashed were the Hillary voters?
