Noonan: Obama is entering 'a boorish phase' (again)

[Enrique]

It's odd that she says this, because she already called him "boorish" in Sept.

Maybe she'll say it every Friedman Unit or so...

The way the meeting was arranged, the president was the teacher, the lecturer. Arrayed before him were the bright if occasionally unruly students. He was keen to establish that it was his meeting—he decides who speaks next and who should wrap up, he decides what is and is not "a legitimate point." He was Mr. President, they were John and Lamar. He wielded a shiny pen like an anchorman eager to show depth and ease. He even said, "There was an imbalance in the opening statements because—I'm the president." Yowza. Grace shows strength, accommodation shows security. This showed—well, not strength. When Rep. Eric Cantor attempted to make a sharp point, the president took the camera off him by calling for his aides and conferring with them as Mr. Cantor spoke.

The president has entered a boorish phase.

NOONAN: ... because this is his way, because everybody will say yes. I don't think it's about the media environment, but I do think the media environment allows a modern leader to be something subtly damaging, and that is boorish. They get their face in your face every day, all the time. It's boorish, and it makes people not lean towards you, but lean away from you, no matter what the merits of the issue, and the merits of this issue are not such great merits.

1. fuck off, Peggy

[Solomon]

20. Yeah, she's boorish.

[FrenchieCat]

2. DId she have anything to say about the actual policy differences?

Didn't think so.

Ms. Noonan needs to get her a cript for Reagan and her.....

Cause she's not interested in anything Americans are interested in; policy.

[liberal N proud]

3. Can someone punch her for me?

Damn

[Dr.Phool]

13. I'd love to.

Her smarmy, condescending voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

[Raine]

23. I HATE that fake "reasonable" voice of hers

I'd like to ripe her throat out! :mad:

edit: typo

[spiritual_gunfighter]

28. Her overly earnest schtick is the most annoying thing any pundit does on television n/t

[hisownpetard]

32. I'm not violent by nature, but she makes me want to punch her face like a ball of pizza dough.

[shraby]

4. Noonan is trying to stay relevant...if a person has to

try to stay relevant, they've already lost the game.

[annabanana]

5. She reminds me of the "Panel" on the Onion newscasts...

Except she's not nearly as clever.

[DrToast]

9. LOL....Good call

http://www.theonion.com/content/video/was_there_too_much_sex_and

She fits right in.

[rasputin1952]

6. Noonan has made a career out of being "boorish"...

As far as presidents being "boorish", (or "oafish" for that matter), no one can ever match bush...;)

[Enrique]

12. Obama eats with his mouth closed

unlike certain recent deciders...

[rasputin1952]

14. That clip shows the arrogance that got us into so much

trouble. Amazing that his "librarian wife" couldn't get him to chew w/his moth closed...:(

[BlueMTexpat]

21. My reaction exactly!

Thanks for beating me to it!

:hi:

[dgauss]

7. Right... President Obama didn't show proper respect to Eric Cantor

and Peggy's delicate sensibilities are bruised?

I think Noonan is insane. She's the Blanche DuBois of Republican Bizarro world.

And Eric Cantor "attempted to make a sharp point?" Dream on crazy lady, the only sharp point Cantor could make would be with a pencil, a pencil sharpener and someone else's help.

[Captain Hilts]

8. How delusional. And GWBush was a ALWAYS boorish. The way he walked, talked, decided, governed. nt

[Jim Sagle]

10. Piggy uses the term "Yowza" in reference to the first black President.

Racist pig.

[goclark]

35. I have to admit, I like your two word resonse

[Monk06]

11. The President is the Chief Executive of the Nation, the CEO of course he chairs the meeting.

[Garbo 2004]

15. Noonan's always given me the creeps. nt

[classysassy]

16. Hello M's Nooner

didn't it tickle you the way the president reminded mitch the bitch that he is the president

[blogslut]

17. Peggy Noonan needs a dictionary

We had an authentic boor as president for 8 years and Ms. Noonan uttered nary a peep.

[hisownpetard]

30. You're so right. She probably thinks 'boorish' means 'sort of boring.'

[Zoeisright]

18. Shove your large foot up your ass, Piggy.

God, I hate her.

[rufus dog]

19. Whenever I see her or she is brought up the same thought always pops into my head

Has she ever had a satisfying sexual encounter in her life? (for either party)

[Raine]

22. STFU Peggy, you're a boorish ass. nt

x(

[PatSeg]

24. Why have so many people commented

on Obama using people's first names? Bush used demeaning nicknames when he addressed people.

"Boorish"? The woman should listen to herself now and then. She is painful to listen to.

[Jennicut]

25. Isn't it obvious? Barack Obama is the most polite man I ever seen as a politician but they label

him as "arrogant" and "boorish" because they hope it will stick. Bush was crass, unprofessional and called himself "the decider". This is utter BS.

[hisownpetard]

31. Absolutely! Obama is the most polite, dignified and innately elegant president this country

has ever had.

Bush was the complete antithesis, which we were reminded of every day for 8 interminably long years.

Peggy Noonan is a complete phony, with nothing to say.

[tanyev]

26. La di da, Dame Peggy. Need a little extra Metamucil this morning?

[City Lights]

27. Get over yourself, Noonan.

:eyes:

[Cha]

29. Just how damn boorish does peggy have to be to keep accusing the

president?

[CTyankee]

33. *sighs* "I thought you had STOPPED drinking, dear..."

Remember the last time you spoke while 'under the influence'? So embarrassing...

[otohara]

34. Did She Say It w/a British Accent?

she's got the snotty part down really well.
