To be fair
the phrase "poofy hair" is also in my vocabulary to refer to hair that sticks out as a result of blow-drying. It doesn't change Peggy's intent in any way or the judgment that she's being juvenile. Any mention of Edward's hair in any context is now a fully formed code-word.

Nutty Noonan
Go Glenn go. I love it. So good to hear the truth about these people.

Wow
"What a stupid vapid woman this is". Wow. That about sums her up all right. Its about time we just started calling these people out for what they are. Nice job.

Rudy in a dress?
So despite Giuliani in drag on YouTube, Noonan nevertheless announces that Rudy is "reasonable". But really, she just can't have John Edwards.
So I guess if Rudy had been camping it up in a dress AND brushing his hair....?

It's really much simpler than most of you are making it.
It's really much simpler than most of you are making it.
She is part of the "Republican Noise Machine"
She took a list of possible republican nominees and pronounced them reasonable and a list of improbable Democratic nominees and pronounced them reasonable.
Later she can say of the two parties nominees that the republican one is reasonable and the Democratic one is not. An that she has been saying that since before they were even nominated so it is an unbiased "judgment."
What a surprise.

Of hair poofing
Yes, my mother also "poofed" her hair, and spoke of my sister and I doing so as well in the 60s. What she never would have done is say that my father or brother poofed their hair; it was/is a strictly female practice.
Peggy Noonan, whatever her faults, uses words with a purpose -- she didn't get to be Reagan's speechwriter for nothing. I suspect she meant to deploy "poofing" in both respects, the dictionary one cited by Glenn and the way women (at least in the era of big hair) used it, and both or either of which uses are meant to convey that John Edwards is a faggot.

The Purpose of the MSM Inanity
The puropose of the incessant inanity of the MSM (or "Noonanity", if you will) is to obscure the very real and significant issues of inconvenience for The Village. Recent events in Pakistan are a case in point.
It is difficult to imagine a set of circumstances that could more clearly reveal the folly of our Iraq misadventure. The current chaos in Pakistan is a direct result of the decision to move our sights from Afghanistan to Iraq. In light of recent events, how could our diversion of assets from Afghanistan to Iraq be justified? How can our failure to finish off Al Qaeda and the Taliban, thereby permitting them to take root in Pakistan where their potential for mischief is tenfold what it was in Afghanistan, be perceived as anything other than a catastrophic blunder?
And yet it is almost certain our MSM will fail to confront McCain and the rest of the Iraq deadenders in the GOP with their mistake. The MSM should be asking if our continued presence in Iraq didn't contribute directly to the chaos in Pakistan. It should be asking if the retention in Afghanistan of a fraction of the personnel and dollars we've sunk into Iraq wouldn't have interdicted the AQ/Taliban migration into Pakistan and perhaps forestalled the roiling chaos in Pakistan.
A serious MSM would ask these questions. It would make the observation that the cost of our Iraq misadventure has increased exponentially in the last 48 hours as a result of the destabilization of Pakistan. It would make the obvious connection between the failure to finish the job against AQ and the Taliban and the present danger in Pakistan. And it would hector McCain, Romney, Guiliani and the rest at every campaign stop in Iowa and elsewhere until they were forced to argue, against all reason and sanity and at the expense of their credibility, that our focus in Iraq had nothing to do with AQ's ability contribute to the chaos we are seeing in Pakistan.
The events in Pakistan should be a political catastrophe for the pro-Iraq war contingent. These events should place them squarely on the defensive, forcing them to rationale their failure to prioritize AQ and Pakistan and their decision to instead chase chimerical WMD in Iraq.
If there is any hope of getting this frame into the MSM and revealing the events in Pakistan for what they are - the clearest and most vivid illustration of the failure of our Iraq policy - then Glenn and Jane and others need to press this issue. If they do, it is possible that Olbermann and then others with a MSM megaphone will start asking whether the events in Pakistan aren't a direct consequence of our Iraq folly.

You can't blame her; she sooooo misses Daddy
Daddy made her feel good. Daddy Reagan made her feel special. He made the whole country feel special. Well maybe not the whole country, but some people felt happy. And they were the people who counted!
And he had nice hair, not all gay and stuff but BrylCreem'd and speaking straight into the camera like he did in the movies that he played a tough guy. And he told the Soviet Union to fall apart and it did, just 'cause he said it with his nice dark hair.
And one time, when Ronald Reagan cried, it carved out the Grand Canyon, and little Peggy Noonan saw him take Martin Luther King Jr. and cradle him and hang him in the stars with the other constellations like all those people who saved Nicaragua.

And, in any case
Real men don't poof their hair.
Yes, Dirigo. Yes, Mona. Yes, she was calling the happily married, apparently monogamous Edwards a "faggot."

A end list for Peggy Noonan to do by noon.
Read Che Pasa's new blog. After reading Chris Floyd she'll know T-shirts in Florida are half-price. Left over purchases help kids in third world Oxford dictionaries to sweat while making Orange Polyester Agent Purple T-shirts for GIFTS. The T-shirts say, "Santa loves Peggy."

I better hush before I recommend Peggy and the crazed GOPS go shave their heads for free and join the Monastery. Then they may contribute something towards 'our' futures and posterity (Children) won't HISS and reproach the mention of their names. What wretched and vain hypocrisy!
I'm no hypo-hypocrite or enunciate...no renunciate...I love diversity. It is the spice. IT adds glued-lips-gads stuck together! But these 'spatters' need to button the traps or glue the keyboard shut. It's madness. Break the wine glass in the fireplace. Get them into looney bins. They are worst than the K-street screaming public nuisance drunks.
Can't they buy some bird seed and feed chickens? The future offspring will say vile things about neocons peeps. Creeps!
One more nice request: Go sit under the bleacher and do some old fashion hot-teen neckin' with Glenn OY! My apologies. I'm teasing. No Glenn, please don't. You may come down with hoof and trench foot. Who knows where those toes were? chicken coop? Peggy Noonan walked in a cow paddy? okay. I'll stop playing hissy fit. Forgive me Glenn? Your required by the law of the homeland?
I hope these twisted, undeveloped puberty-possums, go and get a heart instead of a rot-liver. Why are they so rancid? Is the heart and liver mixed up? Is the gall-bladder where the heart belongs. THEM and OTHERS need to become a bit of a tiny stick-figure human? Humbled.
Peggy, you'd be less miserable.
Remember. Shop. Buy those deli good leftover apple pies with whipped ketchup and brillcream hair spray on top. Purchase on the lawaway plan some T-shirts in Florida. The T-shirts say, "Saint Nick loves Peggy Noonan."
P.S. The K-chronicles have a sheep sitting on a Toilet bowl T-shirt. Honest. See K-chronicles web-site. Buy one for Glenn? Buy left-over potatoes soup while there while some cold soup last. Paint toenails green for next Hollowed weird comments in the right-wing Mspress. Gently request THEM to get out of Dogged DC by noon. Peggy Noonan, have some corn soup? I know it's corny. BUT What are THEM.
