	Amazon.ca: On Speaking Well: Books: Peggy Noonan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Noonan (What I Saw at the Revolution), George Bush's most publicized speechwriter, describes her book accurately as "advice and anecdotes about the writing and giving of speeches." Not political speeches, which are probably an art form unto themselves, but the kind of speeches most people are at some time called upon to deliver.
		Noonan states her advice clearly: No speech should last more than 20 minutes; the text should be written out (no ad-libbing from outlines); humor is essential; read your draft speech aloud (speaking is different from writing); keep sentences short (the audience is hearing it, not reading it).
		Noonan, author of the best-selling What I Saw at the Revolution (LJ 3/15/90), presents a guide to communication that succeeds because of the entertaining and informative anecdotes drawn from her experience as a speech writer for presidents Reagan and Bush.

	CampusProgress.org \| Know Your Right-Wing Speakers: Peggy Noonan
		Noonan served as the chief speechwriter for the George H. Bush’s 1988 campaign, penning the "thousand points of light" phrase that helped win him the Presidency and the "no new taxes" line that would eventually contribute to his second-term loss, before beginning to write under her own byline.
		Noonan, a Roman Catholic, opposes reproductive freedom for women on those grounds, but that doesn’t stop her from advocating the death penalty.
		Noonan confesses from time to time that she is always on the look out for facts that fit her ideas – not, as progressives might, changing our ideas to fit the facts.

	Meeting Peggy Noonan
		Peggy Noonan is in Washington to attend his funeral, to visit with old friends and colleagues, to wander among the notable and the unknown.
		Noonan's columns describing the trauma of the day, the bravery of the firemen, the renewed respect for religious faith, and the lives changed by the tragedy became both a kind of security blanket for her readers and a soaring literary witness to a horrific event.
		Peggy Noonan is the author, most recently, of A Heart, A Cross, And A Flag: America Today, (Wall Street Journal Books), a collection of her Opinion Journal essays.

		Noonan is a former speechwriter for President Ronald Reagan and the author of six books on politics and culture.
		Peggy Noonan: Yes, it is an interesting phenom, but as you rise in American life -- as you become more successful and affluent and educated, and as you mix more with the impressively affluent and successful -- you go left in your politics.
		Peggy Noonan: What I have learned and relearned: Politicians are nervous and feel yanked around by their staffs and the press.

	Unclaimed Territory - by Glenn Greenwald: Peggy Noonan's poetic love of dissent, civility and grace
		Peggy Noonan has a new column in the Wall St. Journal solemnly lamenting the "fact" that, unlike the right, "the left" in America has no tolerance for dissenting views and does not understand the values of free speech or civility in political discourse.
		Peggy Noonan is part of a political movement whose most influential leaders routinely accuse their political opponents of being allies of The Terrorist.
		Then again, Peggy Noonan wrote a column today purporting to be so upset by the lack of dissent tolerance and civility, and pointed to the left in order to make her case, so anything is possible.

	Peggy Noonan on Ronald Reagan
		Peggy Noonan says character is the very essence of leadership, and one President who had it in spades was Ronald Reagan.
		Noonan, author and former presidential speechwriter, makes her case in her engaging new book, When Character Was King: A Story of Ronald Reagan.
		NOONAN: She was a totally active Christian and a great reader of tracts.

	Asia Times - Asia's most trusted news source
		In accordance, Noonan is ecstatic that both God and "masculine men" are back in the vogue in America, and that with the tragedy "the age of the genius is over and the age of the hero began" (pg 27; pg 67).
		On the more specific front, Noonan's portrayals of religiosity, Catholicism, and the Pope are overshadowed by her politics and nationalism, and are too selective to include the Vatican's articulate opposition to America's military response and the fact of the homing of much of America's peace movement within its numerous churches.
		Noonan's is also the brand of journalism that refuses to admit the cultural plurality of its own domestic readership, reduces America to a mere improvement over Europe, and stays blind to the nation's non-Western heritages, histories, traditions, and lineages.

	My life as a White House speechwriter - Peggy Noonan Saturday Evening Post - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Introduction: Peggy Noonan, the speechwriter who so cleverly put words into the mouths of presidents Reagan and Bush, has as cleverly put words into What I Saw at the Revolution, to be published in February by Random House, about her days at the White House.
		Noonan was criticized for her clothes, "long fl skirts and soft fl boots." For her hair, "long, free flowing." For drinking wine.
		Noonan's hilarious account of her first speech for the President is alone worth the price of purchase.

	Media Matters - Peggy Noonan, meet Bill O'Reilly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		In terms of Noonan herself, travel back to last year's Terri Schiavo right-to-die controversy and try to find the grace hidden in the insults Noonan hurled against anyone who disagreed with her radical notion that Congress needed to overrule the rights of Schiavo's husband and keep Terri alive via legislation.
		Noonan's latest argument that unhinged liberals are gagging free speech and ruining politics with their singular lack of civility is built around four mostly flimsy examples of recent political dust-ups.
		Surprised that Noonan was painting herself as a defender of dissent, I went Googling in vain to find her defense of the Dixie Chicks, who, after their single-sentence utterance against President Bush in 2003, earned the wrath of hysterical conservatives, who literally steamrolled the group's CDs and issued death threats.

		A few days back I told you about Peggy Noonan's buttkicking she received on Hardball re: Hussein / 9.11...And remember that this is how a good portion of the right reconciles themselves.

	Brad DeLong's Semi-Daily Journal: Peggy Noonan Realizes She Has Conned Herself--and Says That She Wouldn't Have Voted ...
		Now Peggy Noonan and the rest of the plastic Republican chattering teeth did not think back in 2000 that Bush's "compassionate conservatism" meant that he was a spender, they thought it meant that he was a liar--and that they were in on the con.
		Noonan's brain has been shaken loose from wagging her head in disbelief that's why she can't fathom that the rethug congress is part of the problem.
		Noonan, Sullivan, and others are tripping over each other claiming they were “conned,” fearful that the readership of their columns may suffer major hits as the Middle Class starts to note the lies and hypocritical propaganda, they were responsible for.

	American Politics Journal -- On Peggy Noonan
		Peggy Noonan, a woman who asserted that dolphins magically guided Elian Gonzalez to the shores of Florida as an act of God -- and that everything else surrounding the Gonzalez soap opera follows from that fantasy -- tells us that it is irresponsible not to speculate.
		Noonan belongs to a class whose main objective in life is to maintain their privilege.
		Noonan spits in the face of religion when she employs Thanksgiving and Easter to exploit her own class interests.

	Amazon.fr : The Case Against Hillary Clinton: Livres en anglais: Peggy Noonan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		At the beginning of this slim polemic, Peggy Noonan states that she does not hate the first lady, she merely has contempt for her, and in The Case Against Hillary Clinton she explains precisely why.
		Perhaps Noonan's most persuasive argument against Hillary is that, although she has been in a position to do much good, she has accomplished little on her own: "I am often frustrated with her because she could do some real good, and at a crucial time, and doesn't....
		Noonan's rant occasionally falls flat, too--especially as she strains to make what are essentially ideological differences seem like commonsense, apolitical moral questions--and some of her most fiery points (such as her suggestion that the Clintons were the first politicians to distort the electoral process with spin and lies) ring hollow.

		Noonan believes rhetoric is substituting for the facts in regard to the Bush administration's tight-lip policy.

	MyDD :: Peggy Noonan Owes Michael an Apology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Since Peggy Noonan has entered the fray, it is clear that conservatives have decided to turn Terry Schiavo's unfortunate circumstance into a political full court press.
		Noonan starts off by calling the religious taliban thugs trying to keep Shiavo on life support "a passionate, highly motivated and sincere group of voters and activists who care deeply about whether Terri Schiavo is allowed to live." That's the mantle that Noonan gives to the likes of Tom DeLay, Dr. Dobson and Terry Dolan.
		In almost all other scenarios Noonan and her ilk would be defending the "husband's right to have dominion over his wife." Almost all medical experts agree that the likelihood of Schiavo waking up is "vanishingly small." 87% of the public when polled say that they would want to have the feeding tube removed.

		Noonan's statement falls under the soon to be famous Sullivan rule that a person is either dishonest or retarded when he or she makes a false statement and then defends it with bogus answers.
		NOONAN: I‘m sure there is evidence that he has been helpful to bad guys who have tried to hurt us and who in fact have hurt us in the past.
		You may noticed that Peggy Noonan never once gave a direct answer to the question of whether Saddam Hussein was directly involved in 9-11.

		RUSSERT: Peggy Noonan, there are a lot of political figures, however, who, if they gave that line, it would be considered inflammatory or pugnacious. When Ronald Reagan was able to deliver it, it had a sense of righteous indignation.

		Peggy, you talk about the shame of the American scandals in the seminaries and rectories.
		JPII was an intellectual in the 20th century European tradition — he knew of what philosophers were saying, took their thought seriously, pondered it, and came up with counter-arguments and observations and assertions.

	Peggy Noonan’s Pearl Harbor - Maureen Farrell at BuzzFlash.com
		In hindsight, Noonan’s observations about how the firemen, cops and other "grunts of New York" were finally "given their due" was a kind of Chicken Soup for the Stepford Citizen’s Soul, which, void of ultimate truth and substance, nevertheless helped people feel good for a time.
		No, Noonan is equipped to deliver metaphorical and mythos-laden missives, as she did that October, when she asserted that John Wayne had somehow arisen from the Sept. 11 ashes.
		Finally, Noonan donned her psychiatrist/patriotic police hat and concluded why today’s press (the meanies) are not like the reporters in Frank Capra movies.

		That Noonan glommed onto one of them so readily is yet another symptom of what appears to be a widespread illness, a mass hallucination amid a veritable epidemic of anthrax-sightings, otherwise known as war hysteria.
		Noonan then goes on to record her glee at reading a story about some minor indignity endured by two "Mideastern looking" men on a plane, who were asked not to sit together.
		The Noonans, the Charens, and the Coulters are the carriers of this deadly bacillus, and the contagion is spreading dangerously.

	"Hillary Wars II" by David Brock
		Peggy Noonan, a former speechwriter for Reagan and Bush whose work frequently appears in The Wall Street Journal and Time, is often considered to represent the upper level of Republican thinking.
		The Case Against Hillary Clinton boils down to this: Peggy Noonan doesn't like this "highly credentialed rube," this "mere operator," this "person who never ponders what is right," this "squat and grasping" woman.
		That Noonan's brand of high-style conservatism is now indistinguishable from that of Rush Limbaugh and Gary Aldrich does not bode well for the party.

		Peggy Noonan has no problem with right wing blondes on cable calling for the assassination of President Clinton or sending a NYT editor to the gas chambers.
		Peggy Noonan lives in a perpetual narcotic haze - while reading her columns I always think about Barbara Bush's inane comment about not 'troubling her beautiful mind' with thoughts about ugly realities.
		I'm a long time reader of Peggy Noonan's WSJ spew and she's a lot more dangerous than Ann Coulter because she fronts herself as a dignified, Lady, pouring tea out for her guests in her Parlor, instead of being the crazy Auntie locked in the basement or attic that Chairman Ann is.
