(102,328 posts)She was a popular and prolific poster. I think her name was Gloria but don't think she came over from DU2.
At any rate, she wrote a scathing and very cathartic piece on Peggy that I dearly wish I'd saved. It was a joy to read/reread.
Anyone remember?

(102,328 posts)whose self-perceived superiority drove everything she did (that assessment is perhaps guided more by MY opinion than anything she actually said, but I do know Peggy wasn't all that well thought of in school by others).

(11,660 posts)In her day she was the flavor of the month, lusting after Ronnie and writing saccharine prose for his speeches. A friend of mine said back in 84 that it was obvious she wanted to jump Rayguns bones and was trying so desperately to please/seduce him.
Now shes an old political hag (sorry). Did she ever write anything so scathing about Sarah of the Word Salad? Dont recall but I think Miss Piggy is only threatened by competent women who can string words together perhaps close to as well as she can and with more authenticity. Noonan is a huge FAUX.

(24,396 posts)about the Challenger astronauts dying in a horrific fireball, calling it their touching the face of god. The DC pundit crowd swooned over that childish bullshit for decades.
A pathetic, Hallmark card excuse for Reagans complicity in their deaths by pushing for NASA to get them into space so he could talk to a school teacher aboard the craft.

(16,298 posts)Her article needs to be shredded. Her remark about Ms Harris being young n giddy and shes dancing with drum lines.. She ends her rant suggesting the dancing was Embarrassing .
Boogiemack
(1,406 posts)What people like Peggy, Donald and others like them really hate: black men and women with brains, good looks, talent, great personalities, genuine compassion, decency and a fearlessness that does not tremble or fade in the face of their ridicule and nasty lies.
MLK, MalcolmX, Barack and Michelle Obama, Susan Rice, ...just to name a very few.
Peggy has always been obnoxious to me.

(10,836 posts)This observation makes Harris insubstantial and frivolous? Has Noonan caught Trump's dancing/involuntary twitches of late? Or the way he assaults the American flag, pretends he's making out with the Stars and Stripes?
Really, Peggy Noonan needs to sit this one out. Or throw back a cocktail and take the broom out of her ass.

(11,742 posts)Harris is smart, confident, powerful, and she can dance and show joy. I am sure that is very scary to people who are uptight and generally already afraid of strong Black women anyway.
I would love to see Noonan interview Harris. The fear would be palpable.
Keep doing your thing Kamala!!
