I seem to recall Harry Reid calling W a loser at one point, and we all mocked him for that.

This is weaksauce compared to that.  Why is Noonan still employed?

2 In theory, Peggy's still on our side, but I never find much evidence of intelligence in her writing.

3 Friday news dump am I right?

4 WHOA!!!  Fox showing Boehner on house floor.  He is FIRED up.

5 whoa, boner is rocking on the floor of the house.

6 Boner's goin nuts, gettem a hanky stat!!

7 Peggy Noonan, Tommy Christopher, John Stewart aka as three people I usually forget are even alive until someone tweets or blogs about them.

8 Wait... wait... now I can't figure out which clique is the cool clique. It used to be on the right, but then I thought it was on the left, and now maybe it's on the right again. I had better give this some time to sink in.

9 I'm not sure if I think much of this column. Not that I object to name-calling Obama. I think that's fine. I just think her line of attack is wrong.   she's a fucking idiot. Fuck her, fuck them , fuck them all.

10 Boehner showing some passion. It's about time!

11 Political theater sure, but fun to watch non the less.

12

fuck Boehner! he's a lair.. out there acting all puffed up like he's doing something important, when he's done NOTHING!

strutting, caterwauling buffon...

 

 

13

But a "loser"? I suppose, yes, but that's not the main problem.

Women have a finely tuned nose for a man flailing around, getting beat, acting out, and most importantly, looking weak and impotent.

I agree it wasn't her finest column (she hasn't had many in years), but I'm not surprised she went with the loser tag.

Especially from a gal who couldn't help getting "excited" for Owaffle back in 07-08.

She's trying to reconcile her....emotions.

14 Watching this footage from the floor is brutal. It's like some weird alien dance.

15 "It's time for this administration to put something on the table."

You know, it's a damn shame decorum prevented him from phrasing that as, "It's time for this administration to nut up or shut up!"

16 Human Weathervane Noonan Moves With Breeze, film at 11

WOW!  first time i've ever seen Boner yelling......

18 sounds like Peggy finally fell off of Obama's dick.

True. He does not appear manly by any measure.

I am perfectly and completely fine with the "loser" label

20 >> The fact is, he's good at dismantling. He's good at critiquing. He's good at not being the last guy, the one you didn't like. But he's not good at building, creating, calling into being. Sounds like the resume of a community organizer. Who could have possibly predicted this outcome back in '07/'08?

21 Peggy would know. She sees one in the mirror every day.

I would rather burn my eyes out with a hot ember than read her screeds.

Now, all of a sudden- he's a loser.

22 One of you assholes just made me watch 18 seconds of  Fox Force Five. What a great idea for a show!11!! Replace Uma Thurman with Blob Belchtel. Hahahahahaha.
Next?

23 19 WOW!  first time i've ever seen Boner yelling......

He yells a lot, but not like that.

I also noted some of the no votes were enthusiastically clapping during the standing ovation.

24 _{Boehner showing some passion. It's about time!}

I sure hope he doesn't break a nail and miss drinks with Pelosi and Reid tonight.

He was going to wear his best new Judge Smails outfit.

I kid. I hope he gives them hell.

25 damn italics!

26 At least Noonan spelled "loser" correctly.  She's got that going for her.

27

why did he push this bill?

why this bill?

 

why not CCB?

 

fuck Boehner and the horse he rode in on, acting all tough when the ONLY reason he pushed this bill was for his own inflated ego and re-election prospects.

 

it's dumb shit like this that gets people primaried.

 

 

28 So, once Obama is gone, what next for the Dems? Is it going to be all Hilary, all the time? Can't see anything else.

29 He is not a devil, an alien, a socialist. He is a loser. And this is America, where nobody loves a loser. Yeah. But unfortunately, he is a loser that managed to increase the size of government in America by 50% , not to mention the socialization and destruction of our healthcare system. And destruction of our space program. And assault on our system of international alliances. NONE of which may be reversible.

30 Sssssshhhh, quiet. They're just getting to the part about his steely nerve and law professor intellect. Ssssshhhhh. Down in front

31  sounds like Peggy finally fellslid off of Obama's dick.

32 peggy is simply brooks with a vagina

33 I would love for someone to yell at Hochul, "You lie!"

34 Mr. Obama seemed brilliant at politics when he first emerged in 2004. He understood the nation's longing for unity. We're not divided into red states and blue, he said, we're Big Purple, we can solve our problems together. Four years later he read the lay of the land perfectly—really, perfectly.... Uh... "Big Purple" seemed like political brilliance to Peggy Noonan? Sorry, Peggy, but you're still a total douche.

35 31 So, once Obama is gone, what next for the Dems? Is it going to be all Hilary, all the time? Can't see anything else.

You wish.

36 ARE WE GOING TO TELL THE GREATEST GENERATION THAT WE DROPPED THE BALL? Well baby boomers.... you damn well oughtta. Speaking as a millennial, fuck all of you old folks. My generation hasn't ruined anything... yet.

37 "All ye House-headers have before now heard me give orders about a wide vote. Look ye! d'ye see this Federal note of Reserve?"--holding up a broad bright bill to the sun--"it is a seven-week T-note, men. D'ye see it? Mr. Upton, hand me yon top-maul." While Upton was getting the hammer, Boehner, without speaking, was slowly rubbing the T-note against the lapels of his jacket, as if to heighten its lustre, and without using any words was meanwhile lowly smoking to himself, producing a sound so strangely muffled and inarticulate that it seemed the mechanical humming of the wheels of his vitality in him. Receiving the top-maul from Upton, he advanced towards the podium with the hammer uplifted in one hand, exhibiting the note with the other, and with a high raised voice exclaiming: "Whosoever of ye raises me a wide yea vote with a wrinkled brow and a crooked jaw; whosoever of ye raises me that wide-headed mandate, he shall have this T-note, my boys!" "Huzza! huzza!" cried the Congressmen, as with swinging Federal Registers they hailed the act of nailing the note to the podium. "Captain Ahab," said Upton, "that wide vote must be the same that some call Monstrous Debt." "Monstrous Debt?" shouted Boehner. "Do ye know the wide vote then, Uppie?"

38 The problem with the the stupid 5 show is it somehow comes across as the Bob Beckel show. Maybe cause he's just the physically biggest.

And the Red Eye dude, Gutfeld, looks a kid at the kiddie table sitting there on the edge.

Screw you Peggy. You slobbered this guy's knob every bit as much as Brooks and Mathews. We tried telling you, but you were so much smarter than us rubes.

46 The faculty lounge doesn't think he's a loser. They think he's sensitive. And visionary. And moral. And darkly handsome. (They also like the crease of his pants.) Conservatives are so mean.

47 Scarborough tore Paul Krugman a new one this morning as well although he did it by comparing Krugman to those out of touch bloggers who post from their mom's basement.  Present company excepted, of course.

75

Despite the hating (well deserved) on Noonan, she used to put out some damn good stuff.

Yeah, she has always been more feelings based, not analytical at all, but she was good at it.  A nice change of pace from Sowell, Hanson, and other top notch right of center types.

Unfortunately, she acquired an unhealthy, irrational loathing of Bush, and for an emotions based writer, it led her down a pretty unfortunate path. 

76 A great many people loved the Obama narrative but I've long suspected few even like the man himself.   I include a lot

77 Noonan: In a crisis he was merely sly. And no one likes sly, no one respects it. Orwell: Return your mind to November 2008 and look in the mirror. You balding turkey buzzard.

78 O-bah-muhh's not a loser. He is kind of a Dick though.

79 True. He does not appear manly by any measure.

Nope, never did.  So why did so many women faint with ecstasy when he came on TV and then vote for him?  Because he's fragile and sensitive?  Christ.

Kind of makes you want to see the debt ceiling stay the same just for the entertainment value. And the optics of the President celebrating his 50th with the country in turmoil.

81 I'm will be calling my senior senator about Reid's bill:

"Right now, Democrats are looking to about 11 gettable GOP votes: Sens. Olympia Snowe (R-ME), Susan Collins (R-ME), Bob Corker (R-TN), Mark Kirk (R-IL), Scott Brown (R-MA), Lamar Alexander (R-TN), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX), Saxby Chambliss (R-GA), Mike Crapo (R-ID), and Tom Coburn (R-OK). The last three were the Republican members of the Gang of Six deficit reduction group. (TPM)"

82

Speaking as a millennial, fuck all of you old folks. My generation hasn't ruined anything... yet.

Why don't you just skip the government and send your paycheck (fully endorsed, of course) directly to my vacation fund.  After all, it was your generation who elected Dick and made all of this possible.  Thank you so much.

83 Ace,

I think that the tack she took is less important than the idea that PEGGY NOONAN, the one adult among the Republicans, has finally been pushed away from Obama, and criticized him in terms not of the Beltway, but of America.

84 Voting now

85 I understand all the hate for Noonan because she wrote nice things about Barack Obama back in 2008 and this is an unforgivable sin blah blah blah...but if nothing more she's a useful barometer and this is a fucking vicious indictment.

By the way, you people accusing her of just recently jumping onto the anti-Obama bandwagon are wide off the mark...she's been ripping a hole into his side for quite a long time now, since 2009 at least.  I'm totally open to criticizing her for any number of reasons, but she's been pretty eloquent about how pathetic Obama's seemed for quite some time now.

Oh, and anybody who says Kimberly Guilfoyle is ugly is presumptively gay. 

86 These dopes on Fox are talking about a possible double dip recession.  Why are they afraid to call it a depression?  That's what it is.  There has never been a recovery.

87 This is rich coming from somebody who supported Obama in '08

I remember Al Rantel, who was a very popular radio host here in los angeles and was a very conservative gay man.  Suddenly, he went Chucky J, and started supporting Obama because he was 'uniting' or something.

Yeah, his ratings fell by 90% and his many years of hard work supporting the conservative cause is forgotten.. and it really makes you wonder if he meant what he was saying the whole time.  Thats where Peggy comes in.  She's a professional republican.  She doesn't believe anything she says.

The only reason she has a voice is because she wrote the challenger disaster speech for Regan. 

A conservative could never support anybody like Obama.  NEVER.  Anyone who has, should be ignored forever.  Goodbye Peggy.  YOU are a loser

88

Oh, and anybody who says Kimberly Guilfoyle is ugly is presumptively gay. 

This.

Damn, Jeff B, I'm agreeing with you on Noonan and KG....you are going to get people thinkin I'm a RINO. 

Heh.

89 You old timers should consider cutting the kids some slack. They be learning a valuable lesson right about now, the same sort of lessons that lead to Reagan's victory.
We all were raised to tell the truth and love our country. It is a hard lesson to learn that you can never ever vote Democrat, and that voting for the GOP requires holding your nose.
Just pull the big handle Jr, you will be fine.

90 Oh, and anybody who says Kimberly Guilfoyle is ugly is presumptively gay. NTTAWWT, of course.

Posted by: Ace's liver at July 29, 2011 05:40 PM (XIXhw) I actually have always liked her writing. The trick is to understand that she doesn't write about conservative politics. She writes about the American zeitgeist, and her strength is that she understands probably better than any other writer how the American voting public will react to political maneuvers. Her assessment of Obama's success in 2008 is often attributed to some sort of "admiration" or "excitement" on her part, but all she ever did was explain what made him attractive to voters. And she was right.

103 --He understood the nation's longing for unity.

Longing for unity?  No, that was an invention of the press.  When Democrats are in charge it's "shut up we won", and when Republicans are in charge it's "you don't have a mandate and should make sure everything is bipartisan".  If people were really longing for unity there would have been a whole hell of a lot less vitiol aimed at Bush.  The left wasn't longing for unity - they were longing for total victory.

They got it, too, and it only took them two years to turn us into Argentina.

He was good at summoning hope, but he's not good at directing it and turning it into something concrete that answers a broad public desire.reading something prepared for him from a teleprompter, but not thinking, not leading.

FIFH.

He's an empty-suit with people behind him to tell him what to say.

114

Peggy has had a good ride.  I read "What I Saw at the Revolution" some 20 years ago, and it was interesting, but not nearly as profound as I thought it would be.  Re-examining a lot of the book now, she clearly had a lot of the qualities of a "centrist" Republican (called by some a RINO!), in that she styled herself a conservative (a social con in some ways, being a traditional Catholic), but still somewhat sympathetic to "Big Government". This is the weakness of the modern centrist Republicans from Rockefeller, through Nixon, Bush the Elder and Younger, Giuliani, and a host of others.  They aren't bad people, but they helped enable the growth of the Welfare State Fiscal Disaster which has finally (as promised years ago) overtaken us.

What has happened to the Republicans, starting with the 1994 election, is a growing group that is finally willing to say "STOP" to the Leviathan, and really cut it, and mean it.  We aren't there yet (people thought we were in 2010), but we are getting closer.  I just hope it isn't too late.

Peggy is beginning to "sense" something is amiss with Obama. As Delta Smelt indicates, she is an emotional writer, but she will never profoundly or intellectually change her "centrist" outlook.  She is what she is.  She, like many "intelligent" women, were seduced by the apparent youth and charm of Obama (the exotic  "Other") in 2008.  But he is indeed an empty suit, as others discerned about him in 2008.  There is no exotic intellect, nor profound insights or special gifts. He is a glib  and shallow man, who is inculcated with all the trite liberal - leftist  ideologies, with no profound character or personality.

Loser? Just profoundly unqualified to ever be President. Thanks Peggy, just 3 years too late.

115 So why can't he be a revolutionary AND a loser?  Are revolutionaries on the left ever anything but failures?

116

121 Shut up Peggy, just STFFU.  You supported Obama in '08.  You drank the Kool-Aid.  You're the worst kind of Obama critic -- the person who not only should have known better, but actually did.  You wanted to be hip.  GFY

122 yea, good old peggy... gushing effusively when obama won the election and now gushing effusively that he's crashing and burning...lisa murkowski has more principles

123 The sad thing is, wasn't Noonan pretty hot back in the day?

124 I wonder if she tilts her head after punctuating a sentence...

125 You have to hand it to her, she built a career out of writing a couple of speeches for Reagan.

126 Noonan is objectively wrong about at least one thing in her essay. Maybe among the people she knows there's not much love left for Obama, but I doubt she spends much time in the lefty fever swamps.

The sad, depressing truth is that there are still a lot of people who genuinely love Obama. They still believe he's the smartest President ever. They still believe he's going to give them everything on a silver platter and pay for it by taxing corporate jets and the Koch brothers. They still believe he is the only thing saving America from a pack of evil racist Teabaggers who want to murder gay people and start nuclear wars. They really believe all that shit.

And in November of 2012 they'll be out in force, voting for him, urging others to do the same, scrabbling in the sofa cushions to find some scrap of money they haven't yet donated to his campaign, and (of course) trolling every blog they can find.

Conservatives have won a narrow tactical victory here. We kept the Germans from taking Verdun and cost them some blood and treasure. But the trench lines haven't budged at all and they're still training stormtroopers for the big push next year. We need to be ready to volunteer, pound the pavement, write letters, donate money, hold signs, and VOTE.

127 Obama's Not A Revolutionary, He's Just A Loser

Maybe Barry is our Erg Loughner.

128 Noonan just can't cope with reality and is regressing. Sometimes, it's malice and not incompetence.

129 Yeah, its no big deal. Peg read about me in Mr. Sammler's Planet and wanted to hook up. She loves her some Big Purple.

130 Kimberly Guilfoyle could stand to dial back the eyeliner by about 94%.
If that makes you call me gay, so be it.

131 Noonan makes her living writing about politics but somehow missed all of the troubling signals in the mysteriously incomplete personal history of this affirmative action, cult of personality, community organizing Alinsky acolyte?

C'mon now.

132

I read the WSJ and Peggy was all over him in 2008, what happened to her, did she lose her sanity?  Once you lose it, you've lost it and she cannot regain her creditibility. If I see a column by her, I don't even look at it.

Another I was for it before I was against him!

133

Obama is not a revolutionary.  He is even worse, a faux revolutionary.  I don't think he has ever been smart enough to even understand the leftist nonsense that comes out of his mouth; it sounds cool and a lot of cool people like him for saying it.  It helped him climb the ladder in Chicago where everyone is an aging 60s radical.  And it helped him get elected President when the country was exhausted and Democrats were sick of the Clintons.

A real revolutionary would not have sat back and contracted out the two most important issues of his presidency to the likes of Nancy Pelosi.  He would have had his own bills and rammed them through, and he would have made sure the benefits started right away so people could see them before the costs kicked in.  But Obama did not know how to do that.

Ace actually ran a comment of mine on Obama during the 2008 primaries, in response to his question about why the Hillaryites, especially the middle-aged women, hated Obama and became the "PUMAs".  I said Obama reminds all of us of the guy at our office who was nothing but a bullshit artist and talked his way into the promotion ahead of the hard working woman who thought she could get ahead by actually being effective at her job.  And then he fucked up, but kept getting promoted even more.  He's the guy who always fails upward.  He's the guy who always whines that he can't succeed because he doesn't have enough support around him, or the company just doesn't want change, or he wasn't given enough resources to do the job.  He's the guy who neds to be stroked, adored, given the big corner office and the parking space, but still whines that nobody appreciates him enough.

Companies all over America are full of people like this.  Their bullshit usually works for a long time, until they get promoted into a job where they really do fuck up catastrophically, and they can't bullshit their way out of it anymore, and then they get fired.  And let me tell you, women HATE guys like this.

I think Obama has hit this point.  It's obvious to all but the most crazy fanboys that he is in over his head, doesn't really care, and isn't capable of doing any better than he is right now.

Right there with you, CarolT. If she had the decency to apologize and examine why she was wrong, okay. But no more of this condensing talk from Granny, for all of us Red Staters who "Don't get it."

If that makes you call me gay, so be it.

That's ex-Mrs. Mayor Gavin Newsome to you!

Look up Paul Bethel, The Losers.

It's about Barry, a third auto-biography, in a sense, written prior to when the Douche-Hawaiian was born...

"

...the coterie of Castro and Soviet apologists in the U.S. whose efforts have so greatly aided the Communist advances into a free Latin America. In a manner of speaking they could be called the "winners" (so far) in the conflict. But I refer to personal qualities common to their breed--they are the misfits, malcontents and "losers" of a free society, who, unable to achieve the status or power their "intellectual" gifts entitle them to, and frustrated in their efforts to "reform" their fellow men, retreat to safe havens such as the universities and the bureaucracy to air their sour resentment of democracy. It is worth noting that, lacking manliness, the "losers" are attracted to those, like Castro or "Che" Guevara, of virile image. I trust the reader knows the breed."

 

 

137 Excellent blog, thanks for the share. I'll be a regular viewer.

138 Obama's adoring fans thought Obama was aloof because he was cool, and that they were cooler than you because they knew he was cool. Now they're beginning to realize that his coolness was just because he was an asshole, and an incompetent asshole, at that.

I seem to recall Noonan adoring the Indonesian Muslims shadow and sacrificing to his image.

 

What a brainless fool.  She probably voted for the Big Zero and is afraid that it'll come out.

141 Obama is the ultimate result of political correctness and white guilt.(and the republican party's stupid nomination of McCain) The good news is, if Peggy no longer thinks he is pizza in a cup, maybe other sheeple could be lead in another direction We were told we loved Odrama, and many actually believed it. After the 2004 Democrat convention, it was announced he was gonna be the next president. So the dumbasses just said "derrr, o.k." and pulled the lever. Remember, by definition, half the people are below average!!!! So he only had to fool 3%, which was easy because we have some jerk whispering in our ear " what if someone finds out you voted against the black man?" this jerk is known as political correctness, the same jerk who says " what if people find out that you searched that 20 year old middle eastern male, you better search that 6 year old girl and the 90 year old granny instead!"

Rock on, Rockmom. He's an actor. He's not a president, he just plays one on TV.

Peggy Noonan has never gotten beyond the superficial. She's one of those writers who thinks breathless substitutes for profound.

And even now, two and a half years into this nightmare of an administration that she helped bring about by getting everything wrong, she's still getting it wrong.

She thinks nobody loves Obama? The KoolAid drinkers are more entrenched than ever. She thinks "conservatives are scratching their heads?" No, unlike her, we had him figured out two and a half years ago. She thinks Obama is sly and shrewd? He's an empty suit who can't even deliver lines to sixth graders without a Teleprompter. But she saw Ivy League on his diploma--never mind that no actual grades were provided--and never looked further.

144 GHDS UK DingYaoKang sent to attracted by granted them amnesty, false xuyu woe to eastern. And all the cable, the amount of the difficult to lament. The water of the east China sea, difficult to poor real LouZhi!!!!! In the DingYaoKang think of care, ancient art project have leave, MBT Sale then, he JiaChen march in one night escape.

145 Obama is definitely not a loser.  Peggy got it all wrong.  Obama is more of an asshole than he is a loser.

146 Peggy Noonan has been anti Bush since Bush the elder stopped using her as a speech writer. The whole thing was spite on her part. And since Peggy always goes with feelings first, I think her Palin hatred was due to plain old jealousy. I haven't read anything of hers since the election.
