    No wonder community college enrollment is skyrocketing. If this is what Harvard offers...

    Is she wearing pj's in the television appearance? That would be at least consistent.

    This may sound crazy, but every time I see Noonan on television, my mind wanders to what it'd be like to live or work with her and to wondering how long you could keep your sanity, listening every day to that voice and her ridiculous cadence.

    I couldn't imagine taking a class from her because there's just no way anybody could pay enough attention to know what the fuck she's saying.

    I can understand this: try finding a token Republican political columnist with any experience and a name for himself who isn't a complete hack. John Podhoretz, however, would have been a good choice.

    This is someone taken seriously for her political opinions.

    By morons. And the media.

    P.S. Hilarious parody 'graf, Cook.

    Oh. My. God. To be subjected to this woman's dreadful prose every week. To be that close to her botox face and her heavy lidded eyes...now that is a death panel.

    And the most unfortunate aspect of all this is that anyone who actually would take this class would do so for all the wrong reasons.

    For some ungodly reason, Harvard's Kennedy School of Government saw fit to make Noonan a fellow this year.

    A transformation better suited to the med school, one would think.

    "What is it like, for them, when an accomplished mature lady meets a smart, clean-cut young college man, with a lean, hard body, and rediscovers parts of herself she thought had withered and died, long ago? Let's find out, together."

    Peggy drinks her white wine in a brimming pint glass, and gets miffed if there's more than two ice cubes taking up valuable space. She also thinks Reagan was supremely fuckable, with a nice ass and none of the girly, fatty aspects of politicians today. Obama is trim and attractive but alas, is still a Negro.

    @Baroness: But (but, BUT) the people of color with whom she has limited but regular contact with, in the elevator of her building, on the loading dock near her building's stairwell, manning the door at the front of her building, they have all taken great encouragement from this tanned Goliath, and that, children, has made all the difference in this esteemed democracy. We put a man on the moon, a Kennedy in the White House, and Michelle Obama in a J. Crew two-piece suit. And that is just the start!

    Here's where I start: What a privelage, what a great exhausting drama, to do what you are doing, which is: Living History.
    Its the kind of prose which, when reading it, makes you want to shoot yourself and, and I think this is true, and I want to tell you about it, be: History.

    It's so difficult to believe this isn't a parody of something else, something that once had actual content or made some form of sense.
