I would give Keith Olbermann a pass on that list if for no other reason than he is in a class of his own!

I’ve never considered Nooners to be a human being so much as a neurotic bundle of the worst kind of stereotypical affectations imaginable. Nothing about her is in the least genuine or sincere…the posing, the sighs, the hair brush-back.

As Elaine Benis would say, “Fake, fake, and fake.”

Apparently she needs a great big great man as big as a battleship to protect her from madmen (or was it to ride big men…whatever). But then, maybe she’s just got that disease HDTV. It’s probably just part of the job at the FOX Newspaper.

To use an Internet cliche, this article has me ROTFLMAO! There is a category of overemoting media commentators who I’d call “exposed nerve endings.” It includes, at various times, Bill O’Reilly, Keith Olbermann, Ann Coulter, Maureen Dowd, Anderson Cooper, Jim Cramer, Joe Scarborough, and about half of the Fox News cast.

But the doyenne of them all is surely Peggy Noonan. When she goes, someone should bronze her kneepads and donate ‘em to the Smithsonian!

Is it irresponsible to speculate that Peggy is a drunken goat-blower extraordinaire that taught Mickey Kaus everything he knows? It is
irresponsible not to.

Is that “great man” (sic) the same one we know as sociopathic, murderer, and liar? Yep, one and the same, I’ve heard.

Lately, every time I see something like this I think of the SNL PSA skit with Gilda Radner and Candice Bergen:

The Right to Extreme Stupidity League = Republicans and their media shills.

I could drink a horse.

There’s something about Peggy Noonan that gives me the creeps. Maybe it’s the cadence of her speaking style, the pregnant pause before every sentence, or that as she vacantly stares off into space when speaking.

Or most likely, it’s that she’s batshit crazy even when silent.

She’s like a minor Stephen King character you encounter early in the story. You don’t know how exactly she fits in, but you just KNOW she’s an intregal part of the evil that awaits.

Brilliant!

Oh, and put me down for “batshit crazy”, as well.

This charade is beyond disgusting. This woman has no talent or no meaningful insight yet is constantly given a national platform to distract and deceive the electorate. She should be fired immediately…

For a whole host of good reasons.

Didn’t they lose?

Then why am I seeing more of her than ever?

Excellent breakdown of her (and most other wingnuts) rampant hypocrisy, especially when it comes to that ‘Master of Disaster’ Raygun.
