Noonan, Bush hater

Peggy Noonan's column, published today in the Wall Street Journal, is unnecessary, uninformative and unattractive in the sense that nothing about it attracts your attention. It's vitriol and it serves no purpose except to make her feel better. Bashing Bush doesn't make the world a better place, doesn't make America a better place, doesn't promote any initiative, doesn't stop or delay any either. It serves no purpose. It accomplishes nothing.

Noonan has several gifts: a gift of space in a national newspaper once a week, a gift of name recognition and a gift of facility with words. Yet she wastes her gifts attacking a man who will be a past president in nine months. Why?
