I want Peggy Noonan to be my best friend. If you know her tell her to call me and I will buy her lunch....every Thursday....forever.
Her piece in the WSJ Opinion Journal is just....well....perfect.
Here's some excerpts, but you better go read it. It truly rocks.
"George W. Bush, 43rd president of the United States, became the first incumbent president to increase his majority in both the Senate and the House and to increase his own vote (by over 3.5 million) since Franklin D. Roosevelt, political genius of the 20th century, in 1936. This is huge."
Huge! Beautiful! It was the NY Times headline today.....right? right?
"The president received more than 59 million votes, breaking Ronald Reagan's old record of 54.5 million. Mr. Bush increased his personal percentages in almost every state in the union. He carried the Catholic vote and won 42% of the Hispanic vote and 24% of the Jewish vote (up from 19% in 2000.) "
Now that's the kind of diversity I'm talking about!
"George Soros cannot buy a presidential election. Savor. "Volunteers" who are bought and paid for cannot beat volunteers who come from the neighborhood, church, workplace and reading group. Savor."
Hey! I thought we were the party of the rich!!!!
"To admit defeat with attempted grace is a moving sight. Kerry did well."
See? She even has nice things to say about Kerry. Thats why I like her. She is nice.
"Every time the big networks and big broadsheet national newspapers tried to pull off a bit of pro-liberal mischief--CBS and the fabricated Bush National Guard documents, the New York Times and bombgate, CBS's "60 Minutes" attempting to coordinate the breaking of bombgate on the Sunday before the election--the yeomen of the blogosphere and AM radio and the Internet took them down. It was to me a great historical development in the history of politics in America."
OH YEAH!!! She is talking about us! (ok, maybe more like Powerline, Glenn Reynolds, Hugh Hewitt, and LGF, but still...)
"God bless the pajama-clad yeomen of America. Some day, when America is hit again, and lines go down, and media are hard to get, these bloggers and site runners and independent Internetters of all sorts will find a way to file, and get their word out, and it will be part of the saving of our country."
My God, you have to feel good about that my fellow bloggers.
