In “Joe Biden displays his wisdom,” Paul Mirengoff draws on Peggy Noonan’s current Wall Street Journal column for its insight into the failings of President Biden. I thought it was a good Noonan column and true even if it was Noonan speaking, but late and therefore hurried. Noonan is in a rush to make it clear she sees what everybody else has seen over the past few weeks.
Noonan doesn’t mention her support for Biden in her September 2020 Wall Street Journal column when the choice was between Biden and Trump. Conrad Black observed that Noonan had gone full metal-jacket for Biden. Black’s column has stood the test of time.

Noonan doesn't ever rate as a disappointment, she's beneath that.

Noonan had Bill Krystol disease before he himself caught it.

Joe isn't the only one who is suffering from dementia. Peggy joined that club quite sometime ago.

Perfect, #2. Krystol didn't catch it until Trump came along; Noonan got all weirded out shortly after 9/11. I thought about her while reading Shari Forst's story a few says ago: "Liberalism in the Rear View Mirror." Whereas Forst saw 9/11 for what it was - an attack on America by some very bad outsiders - Noonan (who once wrote speeches for Reagan) promptly started blaming W and Republicans in general for an apocalyptic event that was planned during the late nineties. Her mental collapse then accelerated when Trump arrived on the scene and it's as if his Presidency justified her psychosis.

Around-the-bend unreadable. what is kind of cute is how she think's that she's relevant.

Peggy who? She's just another in the beltway dope. Did she forget she trashed the best American president since Reagan for a retard?

She has no core beliefs. She writes whatever trash necessary to keep the DC cocktail party invites coming.

Noonan is an elderly former WH speech writer who somehow thinks her opinions matter. They don’t. She has no influence or credibility but still writes editorials for Wall Street that are emotional nonsense. Why she is still employed by them is a mystery.

I haven’t read Noonan for years. Now I know why. Maybe the Big Guy gives her part of his take to write something positive about himself and his dippy Vice President.

Superior, snot nosed huckster. i wrote Noonan off long before the author. I could never understand the "conservative" attraction. She was vacuous for the start.

If pomposity were money, Bill Kristol could buy Germany, but Peggy Noonan could buy all of Europe. And still have enough left over to purchase a couple of third world countries.

During Fox’s early days Noonan was a fixture. BillO’Riley, Hannityand Colmes, and all the rest. I paid attention to her at first because she was a speechwriter for my hero Reagan but soon decided she was a shallow-minded prima Donna. After 9/11 one of those shows had her on and she was so bombed with something, booze or drugs, she could barely hold her head up. Her conversation was slurred and garbled, her eyes were glassy, she was a roadside wreck. Since then I haven’t paid her any mind. She was stupid enough to expose herself on national television in that condition so I have no respect for ANY of her attitudes or opinions. And everyone is right, she picks the side that will get her the most approval and party invites from her social group.
What a do-lally.

One of the key reasons I ended my subscription. What does it say about a paper that keeps this woman on?

On Fox News, she always took a long time to say nothing.

When Ms. Peggy dumped W., she became dead to me. She’s worse than a broken analog clock. It’s right at least twice a day. She’s never right. She’s disloyal and dishonest. Her character is truly suspect.

Noonan gets paid to write “thoughtful” puff piece about people and things nobody else will write good things about.

She's dead to me.
But her elitist condescension predates Trump by at least 30 years. Rush Limbaugh, when he was new on the national scene, met her once.

20 years ago Peggy was a fair speechwriter.
Now she is just a poor soul trying to remain popular with the woke socialites wherever she lives. She has nothing to offer, and has not for several years.

I stopped reading anything by her when she trashed Sarah Palin on a hot mike and then just went all in on her after that. Noonan is another cruise ship fake conservative.

How old is this woman, and why do we still talk about her? If she's ever right, she's always late to the party. So what?
