Listen, I watched the funeral of Coretta Scott King for six hours Tuesday, from the pre-service commentary to the very last speech, and it was wonderful--spirited and moving, rousing and respectful, pugnacious and loving. The old lions of the great American civil rights movement of the 20th century were there, and standing tall. The old lionesses, too. There was preaching and speechifying and at the end I thought: This is how democracy ought to be, ought to look every day--full of the joy of argument, and marked by the moral certainty that here you can say what you think.

There was nothing prissy, nothing sissy about it. A former president, a softly gray-haired and chronically dyspeptic gentleman who seems to have judged the world to be just barely deserving of his presence, pointedly insulted a sitting president who was, in fact, sitting right behind him. The Clintons unveiled their 2008 campaign. A rhyming preacher, one of the old lions, a man of warmth and stature, freely used the occasion to verbally bop the sitting president on the head.


...........With Bill nodding beside her, his hands clasped prayerfully in front of him, nodding and working that jaw muscle he works when he wants you to notice, for just a second, how hard it is sometimes for him to contain his admiration.


God I love them. .........

Peggy Noonan has had her panties in a wad, ever since George W. turned down her speech writing services for the 2004 campaign.
Now, she loves the Clintons!(I don't care if she was being faceteous, she was more flattering to the Clintons than she was to the President)

Yeah I have to agree. And this isn't the first time I have really objected to an article she has written for the WSJ. Perhaps it's time for her to part ways with them...

My husband was so angered that he threatened to cancel the subscription. He was saying that it seemed as though another newspaper had turned to the left.

I don't get this article. Is it sarcastic, serious or just incoherent?

2. LOL

I love it. :) She says something nice and true (they didn't watch the whole video did they?) and they turn on her. Nice huh? "Compassionate conservative" again.

[Catherine Vincent]

3. So if any writer from either side write one itty bitty criticism against

their precious george w. bush, they hate the person and accuse them of moving to the left? What stupid assholes!

[TahitiNut]

4. They're even less literate and more hate-filled than Piggy Nooner.

Madame Unctuous of the Smarmy Sisters just gets more saccharine and arsenic-laden every year.

[CatWoman]

5. heh

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

7. Aw, yes. She who brought us the "half in love with death" essay

during the Schiavo fiasco. She was talking about the liberals who she claimed were "half in love with death." Cause we thought Michael should be able to make the decision and pull the plug on the brain dead woman.

I wrote her after the autopsy to ask if she was going to apologize. Not that I expected her to.

Sometimes Peggy is only Half whacko.

;)

8. i guess if the some rightwing pundits

don`t expouse murdering people the nutballs call them leftists...wow, what a sick twisted world they live in

[Jade Fox]
