Talk about out-of-touch! With all due respect Noonan and Parker are full of hot pompous air and undeniably out-of-touch with ordinary conservative citizens. Noonan may be a lauded author and may have been the pen behind some of Reagan’s memorable speeches, but apparently she fails to see how disdainful and misguided her assessment is of Gov. Palin. Furthermore, she clearly demonstrates that she, like many other “country club” blue-blood Republicans, are members of an elitist establishment that does not identify with the Republican Party’s base. Peggy Noonan does not understand Sarah Palin anymore than she would understand me, a regular, ordinary citizen! Ms. Noonan is so embedded in the shrubbery of her conservative intelligentsia club that she no longer is capable of the discernment that made Reagan such a loved and respected figure. She has grouped herself right there with Obama after his condescending and disdainful comment about Senator McCain championing Joe the Plumber’s positions on taxation of success.
The arrogance of judging her because she has not witnessed Sarah Palin reveal her ideological platform on the stump just spells resentment, resentment against a popular candidate with a populist twist to her approach. Sarah Palin’s magic and connection with the people, her ability to pull masses to her ticket’s rallies is precisely what the Republican party needed. She has single-handedly revived Senator McCain’s Campaign and unified the conservative base as well as rallied it behind the man. Prior to that, let me remind you who was behind Mccain, a few moderate Republicans. Sarah Palin has given this man a shot at the presidency. That’s much more than Ms. Noonan has done to put back the Republican Party in the landscape with a verifiable chance of winning the White House!
