The desire to humble black women is so strong in some people 🙄🙄🙄

Good Old Peg just called out our MVP as an uppity woman that should know her place. She should be chastened and humbled. Bite me.

[LakeArenal]

1. OLD Peg should shut her patronizing mouth.

[Biophilic]

2. No F'ing way. She is the Vice President of the United States.

She should not be humble let alone chastened. This is simply wrong and sick. This makes me so angry.

[Scrivener7]

3. Good God. Isn't she dead yet?

[sheshe2]

16. Looks it with her brittle dead face.

The contrast with those to pictures. Kamala, so alive and full of hope and Peg's face looks cadaverous with the hate in her soul.

PS. I am not being ageist here, just stating the clear facts.

[JustAnotherGen]

52. +1

Radiance vs Failure. Noonan wishes she could be the VP. She wishes she could have rose to that level.

[Lonestarblue]

28. We could only hope!

[DURHAM D]

[MLAA]

5. Miss priveledge is mistaken.

the Vice President of our Country is confident, more than capable, intelligent, and accomplished. Absolutely no call for chastened and humbled, VP should be honored and revered.

Next Miss Know Nothing Noonan will call for our VP to be paid 60 cents on the dollar to her white, male predecessors.

Fuck out of touch, scared, jealous Miss Noonan.

[Haggard Celine]

6. Good God, Peggy Noonan is still around?

I thought she was middle-aged back when I was a kid. She must be 100 now! I think it's time for Peggy to humble herself and be chastened and fucking retire already. Do some gardening, old lady!

[leftieNanner]

12. Just looked her up

Born in 1950. She's my generation age-wise, but ten generations back otherwise.

Geez.

[Haggard Celine]

19. Yes, she's a lot younger than I thought.

I guess she always dressed very conservatively, so I thought she was older. Her ideas probably made her seem older, too. She was more conservative than my grandma, who was born in 1916. Oh well, guess she can have cocktails with Andrea Mitchell and the rest of the people who refuse to retire. As long as people are paying them, I guess.

[colorado_ufo]

29. It's not the years, it's the attitude.

Love Nancy Peolosi!

[SallyHemmings]

17. Typical demand to put an brown woman

in her place.

All these old asses need to expire.

[paleotn]

45. Thought the same here. Is she still alive?

[Haggard Celine]

46. She says she is, but I've never thought she had much credibility.

I think she actually died when she went out to Colorado and ate that whole marijuana candy bar and started having visions.

[jpak]

7. Piggy needs to take her own advice

Yup

[2naSalit]

11. Yup.

[Croney]

8. Chastened for what?

That's ridiculous.

[madaboutharry]

9. She's a cow.

[gratuitous]

10. Sure thing, Peggy

Now do the former guy. You won't, will you?

[brer cat]

13. What a crock of horse#$%&!

Kamala is in her place and she doesn't need old Peg to tell her anything.

[sheshe2]

23. Peg has the dead eyes of all republicans.

Kamala eyes shine with life.

[Celerity]

14. the RW and the MSM are attempting to knee-cap her for 2024 or 2028

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/kamala_harris_favorableunfavorable-6690.html#polls

[sheshe2]

18. Of course they are.

She terrifies them. Why? Because she can win it.

[GoCubsGo]

15. The Chardonnay canaries that have long circled her head

are now nesting in her brain. Fuck off, Peggy.

[Leghorn21]

20. Admit it, lady, you're just jealous of my Vice President's eyebrows, aren't you?

SAD!!

FUCK RIGHT OFF

[FakeNoose]

21. Maybe she's auditioning for Andy Rooney's old job?

Sorry, not feelin' it!

[W_HAMILTON]

22. Who is reanimating Peggington Noonington's near-corpse to comment on such matters?

And how many bottles of wine were involved?

[Bev54]

32. She will likely be on Toddie's show on Sunday so she can

espouse some more

[W_HAMILTON]

36. is he one of those still trotting her out?

No wonder I haven't heard from her in awhile then, because Chuck Todd is an automatic channel-changer in this house.

[Bev54]

38. He sure is!

Shortly after MSNBC let Joan Walsh go ( I like her) then old Peggy showed up on Todd's show.

[LoisB]

24. Doesn't Peggy have an appointment with her bartender?

[Demovictory9]

25. K&r

[viva la]

26. The Rich White Bushes' mouthpiece thinks Ms. Harris should be humbled?

Yeah, we know where that's coming from.

There's a deep subconscious sense of inferiority in rich privileged people. They have a dim recognition that they could never have made it on their own, so seeing someone who didn't start out privileged and has achieved a lot makes them angry, and desirous of belittling them and making them feel undeserving.

That's what I think is going on here-- a rather vicious secret envy and resentment. And when you have power-- can get big media to interview you, say-- it comes out in this haughty way.

[erronis]

43. Nice analysis. Envy.

[dlk]

27. I wonder how many cocktails Noonan had before making her catty remarks?

There’s never a shortage of women-haters.

[ancianita]

30. The beginning rollout against VP Harris. We need to keep a running list of the attacks/ to-date.

This septuagenarian scandalmonger, Reagan's ghost, is a remnant of 400 years of white-on-non-white violence. She just got paid, and the rest of the shit talking lineup will pop up with their noise making 'til election day 2024.

[Hortensis]

31. For those who'd like to read the context of this extremely nasty hit job,

the column's behind a paywall at WSJ for me, but Mediaite includes clips of her various swings with its commentary.

https://www.mediaite.com/news/peggy-noonan-says-the-good-news-for-dead-kamala-harris-is-that-expectations-are-low-for-her/

Most of the many hits are on Harris as Democrat and female, and I'm guessing historians and teachers will be using it for decades to illustrate attacks on female politicians. Of course, Noonan's blatant appeal to racism alone may have earned this prize an opening-paragraph mention in her eventual obituaries. She so deserves it.

Btw, I just looked and there's no annual Willie Horton award for all those competing for the year's most racist political offerings. Is there a competition under another title? If not, someone might want to start one.

[Rhiannon12866]

33. What??! She is Vice President of the United States!!!

Why should she be "chastened???" And we need strong leadership right now, not "humble..."

[radius777]

34. Noonan has long had a fixation with Harris.

I recall an article during the campaign similar to this, where Noonan took petty swipes at KH's campaigning style and clothing choices.

[MineralMan]

35. Keep clutching those pearls, Peg...

[tavernier]

37. I don't recall her calling out Rump

for not being chastened and humble. But that’s ok because he’s 1. A man 2. White 3. Racist. Those are Peg’s favorite folks.

[George II]

39. More chastened and humbled, who TF does she think she is? Methinks she's envious because Harris....

....is an accomplished woman. Something she's far from.

[sheshe2]

40. She is just cold and angry.

Her face and eyes have no life to them. Yep, Peg is jealous.

[Baitball Blogger]

41. I just caught a whiff of the 1950s.

Reeks of stale face powder.

[bluboid]

42. whoa!!!!!!! despicable - but not surprised

what planet does Noonan think she's on?
the ultimate narrow minded twink!

[electric_blue68]

44. STFU, Noonan! She's the VP.

[Duppers]

47. WTELF?!!!

[betsuni]

48. Harris needs to be serious, read books, meet with people who think, not rely on charisma?

Reminds me of them accusing President Obama of not being able to give speeches without reading from a teleprompter because evidently he wasn't smart enough to remember anything, and the one who said, "The business model, if you like, of the Democratic Party for the last fifteen years or so has been a failure. People sometimes don't see that because there was a charismatic individual named Barack Obama, who won the presidency in 2008 and 2012."

Assholes.

[sheshe2]

49. Yes.

People sometimes don't see that because there was a charismatic individual named Barack Obama, who won the presidency in 2008 and 2012."

The voters knew. I knew he had it, both times. I knew.

The children knew. They loved him, trusted him.









Hill with kids



?w=1600&quality=70

Kamala with kids



?

When do you ever see such pictures with republicans? The answer is never.

[JustAnotherGen]

53. I love these!

How different our world would be if the Media had not taken HRC out.

We have a shot with Biden and Harris to get better.

[old as dirt]

61. Love the pics! (nt)

[mopinko]

50. it's not going well for ms peggy

on the twitter machine.

[H2O Man]

55. She has officially

been kicked out of the Irish race.

[mopinko]

56. best news i've heard in a while.

but when are we going to realize that as a brain ages, and starts to deteriorate, it becomes more republican? more reptilian? these old farts, which i can say because i am one, get crustier and nastier, and no one does them the kindness of shutting off the cameras.

[H2O Man]

58. I just posted

an OP about crime in Binghamton, NY, and compared my response circa 1973 to today.

I've always viewed Peg N. as an obnoxious and toxic person.

[mopinko]

59. not saying she wasnt always a reptile.

they're just so much more pathetic when they have halfway lost it.

[H2O Man]

60. I'll say it.

She has been a reptile since the day she hatched!

[JustAnotherGen]

51. Noonan can shove off

She's just jealous. Shriveled up harpy.

[karynnj]

54. Noonan is best known for being a Reagan speech writer - his IMAGE was the opposite of that

She, of all people, knows that appearing optimistic, confident and joyful, is a huge plus in how people perceive a politician. Not to mention, what exactly is Harris supposed to be chastened and humbled by? For not solving issues that actually have not been solved since the Reagan years?

The comparison also should be to Mike Pence? What exactly were his accomplishments in his first year as VP??

Out of curiosity, I tried to find an article from late 2017 of Pence's accomplishments - and failed. I did find this summary done THREE years into his vice presidency. I know nothing of this Indiana source.

Here is the lead paragraph that summarizes what was thought:

In his first three years in office, Pence has struggled at times to find a successful role. From overseeing the ill-fated voter fraud commission (which was unable to find widespread instances of malfeasance at the polls) to failing as an emissary to Capitol Hill, the vice president has mostly fashioned himself as a hype man for Donald Trump, campaigning on his behalf. Pundits have even wondered whether he has outlived his usefulness, speculating that the president may replace Pence with someone like former ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley or even Trump’s own daughter Ivanka. Commentators cycle between calling Pence the shadow president and a useful idiot.

The three areas they credit him with doing anything are staffing the government - including many Hoosiers, he took the lead on rebuilding the space program (at that point deadlocked in Congress), and raising money for 2020. Note the latter is NOT related to helping the country.

Now, think of Pence's predecessors, no one ever questioned the value of Biden, Cheney, Gore, GHWB, or Mondale. The value of Quayle was the only one in that interval seen as poorly as Pence. (Agnew was in a class of his own)

Back to Harris, one year is far to early to evaluate, but I would guess that many of these stories are partisan efforts to frame Harris negatively because she will at some point very likely be the Democratic nominee for President.
