What’s with the gratuitous slam on Beck?  I’ve seen his show about six times total.  Three of them were awfully good, and the others were perfectly fine.

Peggy Noonan is the woman who expressed reasonably strong conservative views on a news show and then, when she *thought* they went to commercial, switched tone and theme and came out with some outrageous anti-conservative comments.  I’ve not seen her recover from that one yet.

She was ga-ga over Obama, as has been David Brooks, and is severely anti-Sarah Palin.  Does anyone really believe that Sarah Palin is worse, and has less experience, than Obama?  You can certainly say that she’s not your type of candidate, that you wouldn’t vote for her.  But Noonan has attacked Palin as unfit and unworthy consistently.  Only occasionally does she go after Obama, and she hasn’t yet referred to him as unfit and unworthy.

I don’t like Noonan.  I don’t trust Noonan.  Vapid RINO sell-out now and always, until she PROVES otherwise.
