It would be funny if it wasn't true:

Lately, there has been a lot of talk about Hillary's chances for president in '08 (something we don't support, by the way; democracy works best without dynasties). One post at Pandagon caught our eye - a listing of many anti-Hillary books. One of them was by Peggy Noonan, The Case Against Hillary Clinton (2000). We checked out the Amazon.com listing. Here is the review from Publishers Weekly:

Seasoned conservative political commentator Noonan (What I Saw at the Revolution, etc.) joins the anti-Hillary literary feeding frenzy with this scathing biographical essay. Addressing herself to the voting population of New York State, Noonan rails against "Clintonism"--which she defines as the using of any tactic to achieve a political goal, including "misleading constituents on serious and crucial issues," "evading responsibility for governmental mistakes," "smearing opponents and critics" and "lying"--as she begs New Yorkers not to elect the First Lady as their senator.

Noonan says a bad politician:

Misleads constituents on serious and crucial issues
Evades responsibilty for government mistakes
Smears opponents and critics
Lies

There can be no doubt that Bush:

Mislead the country about a serious issue (Iraq war)
Evades responsibility for mistakes (you name it: intel, post-war planning, North Korea + rewarding those who failed: Tenet, Bremmer, et al)
Had associates that smeared Kerry (Swift Boat)
Lied about Medicare Drug costs

So, when will we see Noonan's write a book, The Case Against George Bush.

Peggy Newsnone is a tool, and no one in the mainstream media will ever point something like this post of yours out.

The only hope is to do some serious media trust busting, or we will continue to get no talent whores like Peggy getting air time...

Nooner Nooner Nooner!

The Case Against The Illegally Installed Drunken Cokeheaded Deserter will never see the light of day. That's one book that will be in the BushToo archives. Until the fire just before they are to be released to the public, of course!

yay. a sane person.

so discouraging to see hillary treated as the de facto nominee by establishment/money people. they must really owe her big time. for what, i can just imagine. i mean, why even bother holding a primary if that's the case?

you know it was hillary who first said she would still have voted for the war if she knew then what she knows now. after she said it, kerry had to say the same thing lest he be out-machoed by hillary.

i truly dread the out-hawk-the warmonger-dance that is sure to be on the menu. there has got to be another way.
