      Time for Mac to Get Interesting Again

      (Newser) - John McCain is getting lost in the giant media shadow thrown by Barack Obama, but there's plenty of time to fix things, writes Peggy Noonan in the Wall Street Journal . For every two Obamania stories, there's one "deadly" boring report declaring: "McCain Unveils Proposal.” Now would be a good time for McCain to get interesting again, Noonan says. To the McCain who in 2000 spoke with unblinking candor, she pleads: Please step up. More »

      How America Fell for Peggy Noonan

      (Newser) - Peggy Noonan begged Women's Wear Daily to can its feature article on her, saying she "winced at things I'd said." But Jacob Bernstein's piece ran, revealing how the anti-Clinton, pro-Reagan pundit turned on President Bush and won a huge crossover audience with her Wall Street Journal column. "She's come face-to-face with what happened to the Republican party," lefty pundit William Greider said. "I think she's terrific." More »

      In Russert's Life, Lessons for All

      (Newser) - Media coverage of Tim Russert's death was unprecedented in scope—and worth every second, writes Peggy Noonan in the Wall Street Journal . Russert lived a life worth emulating with his emphasis on family, intregrity, faith, self-discipline, and guts. As for the journalists talking about his open-mindedness and serious approach to the field, she says, “Emulation would be good there, too.” More »

    • Noonan to Dems: You Dodged a Bullet

      Noonan to Dems: You Dodged a Bullet

      (Newser) - Hooray, Democrats! You dumped Hillary Clinton, not for her positions, or because you were sexist, but over her "essential nature," Peggy Noonan writes in the Wall Street Journal . Another Clinton White House would have meant lies, scandal, drama, and "the sheer, daily madness that is her, and him"—aka, husband Bill. "She lost because enough Democrats looked at her and thought: I don't like that, I don't like the way she does it, I'm not going there ," Noonan writes. More »

      Shoot at the Facts, Not at the Messenger

      (Newser) - Scott McClellan isn't someone Peggy Noonan found herself admiring, she writes in the Wall Street Journal , but she did end up “believing him" after finishing his memoir. He didn’t pen his story to make friends or salvage his image, but rather to set the record straight as he saw it. And first-person accounts are exactly what’s needed: “Feed history,” Noonan demands.

      Clinton's Sexism Charges 'Insulting'

      (Newser) - Hillary Clinton’s claims of misogyny this week were cheap shots that history’s greatest women never would have uttered, Peggy Noonan writes in the Wall Street Journal . Suggesting that sexism is costing her the nomination is “insulting” and “manipulative”—it paints other candidates’ supporters as biased—it’s false, and ultimately, Noonan notes, it is “undermining of the position of women.” More »

      Peggy Noonan, for One, Is Not Offended

      (Newser) - Peggy Noonan wonders if there's something wrong with her for not being upset over Jeremiah Wright’s extremist sermons. No, she decides in the Wall Street Journal , she just doesn’t “think his views carry deep implications for our country”—and indeed understands the bitterness, drawing on the experiences of a young Irish-American friend who still likes to sing about rising up against the British.

      Sizing Up the Seismic Shifts

      (Newser) - Like politics? If so, "you are waking up each morning with a spring in your step" because of this year's political hayride, Peggy Noonan writes in the Wall Street Journal . The conservative essayist sizes up the shifts—Democrats rebelling against the Clintons; Republicans thumbing their noses at conservative leadership—and declares it "the most exciting and confounding election cycle of my lifetime."
