Peggy Noonan in rare form on ABC: Obama is "boorish" and "too in your face"

[jefferson_dem]

And, by the way, she reminds us that accusations of racism "angers people."

[tabasco]

1. A scary, angry, uppity Negro.

Gotta give 'em credit, they stay on message, even if nobody's buying their shit anymore.

[Arkana]

2. Want some cheese with that whine, Peggy?

[firedupdem]

3. He just won't stay in his place....waaaay to uppity.....uugh...

Accusations of racism angers people?! I hate these nuts, I really do.

[Pirate Smile]

4. She is horrible.

[Graybeard]

5. I have something I'd like to put in your face, Peggy.

:grr:

[tanyev]

17. Grapefruit?

[genna]

34. Agreed

:argh:

[Phx_Dem]

6. She always looks likes she's passing gas while she's talking.

She has the self-satisfied, smug look on her fact. She grosses me out.

[robo50]

47. Yot the nail on the head, I hadn't been able to figure it out before but

I think that is EXACTLY what she sounds like.

I can sound like that, too, if I talk and pass gas at the same second, but only for a second or two, she does it all the time because, of course, she is so full of it.

[Phx_Dem]

48. It's the same look a baby gets when it's pooping its diapers.

lol Seriously.

[alsame]

7. He's probably the least

boorish politician I've ever seen. This comment says a lot about Noonan.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

8. If she replaces Obama with herself in that sentence

she'd be 100% correct. ;-)

[polichick]

55. Yep - the usual Republican projection. nt

[eShirl]

9. As boorish and in your face as Bush and Cheney were?

I think not.

[indepat]

10. Coming from someone who sucked rhetorically at the gipper's teat, Noonan's rhetoric is heinous

:P

[MichiganVote]

11. Definition of boor or to act boorish

peasant: a crude uncouth ill-bred person lacking culture or refinement

Archaic a peasant or farm worker; a rude, awkward, or ill-mannered person

ill-mannered and coarse and contemptible in behavior or appearance; "was boorish and insensitive"; "the loutish manners of a bully"

boorish, loutish, neanderthal, neanderthal, oafish, swinish. ill-mannered and coarse and contemptible in behavior or appearance

--------------------------and so it goes.........

Even if I did not support the Obama administration for the most part, how anyone could imagine this president as inelegant is beyond me. No WH invites for you Peggy.

[City Lights]

12. "Boorish?"

Puhleeze, Peggster.

All I can say is I'm glad I gave up on network nooze and don't watch this shit anymore.

[Cha]

28. ..

:fistbump: On all points!

:hi:City Lights!

[City Lights]

32. Cha!

:hi:

:fistbump:

Ol' Peg is one nasty piece of work!

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

13. She attained new heights of irony when at one point she declared herself the representative of what

"normal people" think.

[genna]

35. I was wondering what made her so normal? Listening to Pat Buchanan

That might make her a normal stormfront adherent, but I don't think that makes her the norm.

[Jennicut]

14. She must have mixed up W. and Obama. No one was as boorish as old Shrub.

[Algorem]

15. didn't old man Bush used to get in her face?

[spiritual_gunfighter]

16. She also explained with much forethought I am sure

that Americans dont want health care reform because they are worried about jobs and the economy, what planet does she live on?

[GreenPartyVoter]

18. I think she is behind the times and talking about the _last_ pResident*.

[Stardust]

19. As much as I wanted to watch Obama on the shows this a.m., I was

REALLY sorry when I left the tv on for the "discussions" afterward. It was painful.

[TwilightGardener]

20. Pretty sure Obama is the OPPOSITE of "boorish".

So, either Peggy Noonan is not quite the consummate wordsmith she believes herself to be, or she is just hurling random insults out there and hoping that the general dumbass populace will believe her that Obama is boorish while having no idea what "boorish" actually means. Same as they believe he's a socialist Nazi Commie, etc., without knowing what those labels really mean.

[mitchum]

21. That's just the drugs talking

[JoePhilly]

22. Peggy and George Will are the definition of Boorish!!!

[Undercurrent]

23. ROFLMFAO

Old Peg must be reading the Bizarro World edition of the dictionary!

Boorish is the exact OPPOSITE of what Obama is.

[lunatica]

24. Is she implying that Obama is accusing anyone of racism?

Because the reality is he's doing his best to dispel the racist accusations.

[genna]

36. Dispel? I'd say he's trying to keep health care on the front burner

If racism has been with him for 48 or 49 years, what is one year of it when there is other business on the table to deal with?

[morillon]

25. Okay, she has finally lost her marbles.

I've felt like she was teetering on the brink for a few years now, but this is just cuckoo. On what planet is he boorish??? If anything, he's too POLITE.

[Sebastian Doyle]

26. This must be the Rove talking point of the week

Miss Lindsey pretty much said the same thing on Meet the Whore Press.

[Hansel]

27. And this is exactly the reason he has to be "in your face"

Because people like Noonan describe him in ways that are totally contradicted by his own presence and the facts.

[Cha]

29. I got a newsflash for peggy..

Nobody with brain power gives a rat's ass what peggy noonan thinks..but, she's angered quite a few people with her veiled threat of "accusations of racism "angers people."

She sounds like a fucking racist..who the fuck knew?

[CrownPrinceBandar]

30. Its called leadership, Peggy................

Sorry if it upsets you. Life is Hard!

[MadMaddie]

31. Peggy has a problem with complete coherant expressed thoughts.

It's apparant that she and others of her ilk were satisfied with an idiot as a leader.

Peggy pack your bags and get the hell out of the US if you don't like it anymore.

[sad sally]

53. She also has a problem with simple math...

Twice she indignantly implied "President Obama has been in office 10 months" (implying he should have fixed all the Bush/Chaney messes by now). Peg, if you're gonna' be specific, be right with the numbers...from 1/20/09 to 9/20/09, which was yesterday, is 8 not 10.

[MadMaddie]

57. Ha...Ha...you are so right!

Welcome to DU!!:hi:

[genna]

33. Every time I think of her NONSENSE I think of her saying we should all avert our attention

to torture. We should just walk away and not pay attention to the wrong headed details of what Bush/Cheney forced the government agencies which disagreed with them to do the entire time they knew it was illegal.

It is always the holiest Christian who can cross to the other side of the street when a person is laying in the street who needs assistance. *sarcasm* She is a nasty piece of work.

[CakeGrrl]

37. Yet another perfect example of why the WH isn't taking the "It's racism" bait

Because idiots like Noonan are going to accuse them of it anyway. It's all they have to try to damage the public image of this administration.

The claims of "boorish" behavior are only going to generate backlash at the accuser or induce cognitive dissonance in people who can't recall a time when this President has ever been anything approaching boorish.

[spiritual_gunfighter]

38. Noonan has this annoying habit

of hemming and hawing when she speaks to appear as if she actually cares about what she is saying.

[CTyankee]

46. Plus, she closes her eyes and tilts her head back as if she is going into a brief trance.

I hate it when people talk to me with closed eyes...I always feel that they are lying but cannot look you in the eye and tell you they're a really lying...

[Beacool]

39. Noonan, in her ladylike way, throws as much s*** as her male counterparts.

x(

[Doremus]

40. Is Peg hitting the bottle again?

ill-mannered and coarse and contemptible in behavior or appearance; "was boorish and insensitive"; "the loutish manners of a bully"

Obama is the antithesis of boorish.

[butterfly77]

41. I think that she doesn't realize that..

the other side can't get angry too. Just because she doesn't see it doesn't mean it isn't there but,let them keep it up they will bring out who they want to bring out and I don't think it will be too pretty.Keep it up sore losers!

[BeyondGeography]

42. Obama is the flesh-and-blood reminder that her hero Ronald Reagan has lost relevance

Pisses her off to no end, obviously.

[spanone]

43. noonan should be an expert on boorish.....

[Skittles]

44. Skittles: Peggy Noonan is "whorish" and "too fucked up"

yes INDEED

[CTyankee]

45. Drinking again, Peggy? How COULD you?

Time after time you promise to stay on the wagon and not make foolish statements. Yet time after time you DO IT AGAIN?

If you can't stay sober, you must go back into REHAB for hopeless drunks like YOU.

Please, rehab yourself before EVER again dirtying our airwaves again...

[shaniqua6392]

49. Peggy should really shut her trap when she is liquored up!!

:crazy:

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

50. Peggy Noonan = Dolores Umbridge

[Zoeisright]

51. Shut up, Piggy.

Sounds like she's projecting.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

52. Didn't she want to suck Reagan's feet or something? It's hard for me to make out what

she's saying sometimes since I don't speak Countryclubese.

[Vidar]

54. Personally, I think he's too much of a gentleman: not normally a bad

thing, but we could use more of scrapper.

[JerseygirlCT]

56. And so distastefully ... brown. nt

[depakid]

58. Peggy Noonan calling someone boorish?

:rofl:

[Segami]

59. Someone pushed Peggy's cubic-zirconia crown too far down on her head.

[burning rain]

60. She may as well call Obama a jelly donut.

I guess these irrelevant insults show she doesn't want Obama to show his mug or say anything at all. Alas! Her beau ideal-- or rather, ideal beau--Mitt Romney got nowhere in 2008!

[eridani]

61. After 8 years of Bush embarassing the country at home and abroad?

Let us know when Obama chokes on a pretzel, runs over someone with a bike, or gives female heads of state impromptu massages, Peggy.
