"It's Over"

Slate's "Today's Papers" brought to our attention today's column from one Peggy Noonan, of the WSJ. Yes, the Peggy Noonan who wrote speeches for Ronald Reagan, & was recently overheard saying "it's over" in reference (she claimed) to Republicans believing that whatever right-wing neo-you-name-it crap they come up w/ will appeal to "middle America." Some thought that wasn't quite what she meant. Her essay indicates that she, at least, swallows it whole.
She took him square on, fearlessly, by which I mean in part that she showed no awkwardness connected to race, or racial history. A small town mayor is kind of like a community organizer only you have actual responsibilities. He wrote two memoirs but never authored a major bill. They've hauled the Styrofoam pillars back to the Hollywood lot.
Gov. Palin isn't awkward about race at all. She's ready to bring it right out there. We all know what "community organizer" means in the world of the Rabid Weasels. It means "niggers being stirred up by outside agitators." It means "Remember George Wallace or whichever cracker Governor brought the phrase 'outside agitators' up." This is red meat, & it will not meet w/ as much disapproval as liberal wusses hope. Another fabulous rumor about Mme. Moosedropping is at a local (we guess) site, LA Progressive. You remember the children's story about Little Black Sambo & The Bitch, don't you? Time, like sands through the hourglass, runs out. One more from PN, however.
Cable news shows that had people insinuating Palin, whom America had not yet even met, was a bad mother, and that used her daughter's circumstances to examine Republican views on abstinence education? That was ugly.
Ugly? WTF? Used the slutty daughter to illustrate the sheer idiocy of "abstinence education?" (Where's the "education" in that, BTW?) What better illustration than the chickens coming home to roost in Wasilla? Read the remainder of the piece, & you'll for whom it's "over." The bell tolls for thee, Peggy.

In re: Miss Wasilla, perhaps Peggy should be looking for the Magic Moose. Or caribou. Or a walrus, to carry all the Down Syndrome babies to the bridge to nowhere.

Sorry.
